	• Check whether the external device outputs signals. (Check this especially when the
	external device is a notebook computer.)
	• Check that the cable connected to the external device isn't defective.
	• Check that the projector is connected to the external device using the correct
	terminals.
	• Check that the connected device is correctly selected as the input source.
	• When an extension cord is being used, replace it with the supplied cable and check
	whether images are projected correctly. If images are projected correctly, use an
	RGB signal amplifier along with the extension cord.
