Hello...

I recently picked up a Polaroid XGA360i and have a couple of (hopefully simple) questions.

The unit works fine, but when accessing the menus via the buttons on the chassis (I have no remote) I can access and navigate the menus but there is no way to accept or enable the options I am trying to select.

For example, I can navigate and highlight the menu item for flipping the image, but I cannot select, enable, or otherwise get the projector to accept this command. There doesn't seem to be any sort of "Select" of "Ok" button if that makes sense.

Perhaps this is only controllable via remote, but it seems like if that were the case I couldn't navigate either.

Any help is greatly appreciated. I'll be looking on Ebay for a remote, or trying to figure out how to get my Harmony 880 to do so. Also, if anyone knows of any other forums they could recommend to help me solve this problem please let me know.

Thanks!

This projector was marketed under several different names, so you may want to look at a clone model which has a user manual on the website...

It does look like you can do it without an 'enter' button, so it may just be a matter of left/right/up/down control to select what you need. A lot of times you highlight a line, then press 'right' to select it, or 'down' to make a drop down menu appear. Then the left button takes you back.

Not sure since I haven't seen it, but I sincerely hope you got a phenomenal deal on this projector as it is MANY years out of date. $150 would be overpaying IMO.
