Projector and control method of projector

A control method of a projector that is controllable by remote operation using a remote controller and includes a lens position control unit which controls a projection position of an image by shifting a projection lens, a signal receiving unit which receives a position control start signal for allowing the lens position control unit to start position control from the remote controller, and a lens shift signal for specifying a shift direction and shifting the projection lens in the specified shift direction, a direction conversion memory unit which stores direction conversion information corresponding to the lens shift signal received by the signal receiving unit as information for performing a predetermined conversion of the shift direction of the projection lens, a shift direction converting unit which converts the shift direction of the projection lens based on the direction conversion information stored in the direction conversion memory unit, and a menu display unit which displays a direction conversion menu screen through which the direction conversion information is inputted, the method comprising:

• allowing the signal receiving unit to receive the position control start signal from the remote controller;
• determining whether a predetermined condition is satisfied when the position control start signal is received;
• and
• allowing the menu display unit to display the direction conversion menu screen when it is determined that the predetermined condition is satisfied.
