TIP

•If only one signal source has been connected, the signals from that source will be projected without needing to press any of the buttons on the remote control or the projector's control panel.

•If the "No Signal." message does not disappear, check the connections again.

•If a laptop computer or a computer with an LCD screen has been connected to the projector, the images may not be projected straight away. After starting projection, check that the computer has been set up to output signals externally.

The following table shows examples of how to toggle output settings. For details, refer to the section of the documentation provided with your computer under a heading such as "External output", "Connecting an external monitor" or similar.
