Setting the Remote Control ID

This article is for using the Epson remote when changing models. For example, if you're replacing an Epson 685wi with a 770fi, you need to sync the remote and projector. Not all projectors have the same default, but the remote does have a default setting (so they do not always match).

The remote control's ID is set to zero by default so it can operate any compatible projector. If you want to set the remote control to operate only a particular projector, you need to set the remote control's ID to match the projector's ID.

  1. Turn on the projector you want the remote control to operate with exclusively.
  2. Aim the remote control at that projector and press the ID button on the remote control. The current projector ID is displayed on the screen for about 3 seconds.
  3. Hold down the ID button on the remote control while you press the numeric button that matches the projector's ID. Then release the buttons.



    Note: If you select 0/All on the remote control, you can operate all projectors regardless of the Projector ID setting.

The remote control's ID is set.

Note: If the batteries are left out of the remote control for an extended period, the remote control ID returns to its default setting. If you use multiple remote controls at the same time, you may not be able to operate the projectors as intended due to infrared interference.

Setting the Projector ID

If you want to control multiple projectors from a remote control, give each projector a unique ID.

  1. Press the Menu button.
  2. Select the Extended menu and press Enter.
  3. Select the Multi-Projection menu and press Enter.
  4. Select Projector ID and press Enter.

  5. Press the arrow buttons on the remote control to select the identification number you want to use for the projector. Then press Enter.


Repeat these steps for all the other projectors you want to operate from one remote control.

Note: If you don't know the projector's ID, aim the remote control at the projector and press the ID button to temporarily display the projector's ID on the screen.
