￿Making Connections

NOTE: When using with a notebook PC, be sure to connect between the projector and the notebook PC before turning on the power to the notebook PC. In most cases signal cannot be output from RGB output unless the notebook PC is turned on after connecting with the projector.

*If the screen goes blank while using your remote control, it may be the result of the computer's screen-saver or power management software.

Enabling the computer’s external display

Displaying an image on the notebook PC’s screen does not necessarily mean it outputs a signal to the projector. When using a PC compatible laptop, a combination of function keys will enable/disable the external display. Usually, the combination of the ‘Fn” key along with one of the 12 function keys gets the external display to come on or off. For more details, refer to your computer’s owner’s manual.

Connecting Your PC or Macintosh Computer

NOTE: The COMPUTER 1 connector supports Plug & Play (DDC2).

MONO

VGA cable (supplied)

To mini D-Sub 15-pin connector on the projector. It is recommended that you use a commercially available distribution amplifier if connecting a signal cable longer than the supplied one.

PHONE

IBM VGA or Compatibles (Notebook type) or Macintosh (Notebook type)

Audio cable (not supplied)

PHONE

NOTE: For older Macintosh, use a commercially available pin adapter (not supplied) to connect to your Mac's video port.

IBM PC or Compatibles (Desktop type) or Macintosh (Desktop type)

NOTE: Use an audio cable without a built-in resistor. Using an audio cable with a built-in resistor turns down the sound.

NOTE: An image may not be displayed correctly when a Video or S-Video source is played back via a commercially available scan converter.

This is because the projector will process a video signal as a computer signal at the default setting. In that case, do the following.

*When an image is displayed with the lower and upper black portion of the screen or a dark image is not displayed correctly: Project an image to fill the screen and then press the AUTO PC button on the remote control or the projector cabinet.
