Connecting to an External Monitor

Analogue RGB images and RGB video images from a computer that are being input to the [Computer1/Component Video1] port can be viewed on an external computer monitor at the same time they are being projected by the projector, so that the images can be checked at times such as when giving presentations.

If the images being projected are from a source that is connected to the [Computer2/Component Video2] port, these images cannot be output to an external monitor.

Connect the external monitor using the cable that is provided with the monitor.
