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 based on input from the remote controller, the shift direction being perpendicular to an axis of the projection lens, 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, and receiving user input of a normal position or a suspended position of the projector.
