Connecting to a Computer

Caution :

When connecting the projector to a computer, be sure to check the following.

Turn off the power for both the projector and the computer before connecting them. If the power for either device is on at the time of connection, damage may result.

Check the shapes of the cable connectors and the device ports before making the connections. If you try to force a connector to fit a device port with a different shape or number of terminals, damage to the connector or port may result.

Eligible Computers

The projector cannot be connected to some types of computer, or projection of images may not be possible even if actual connection is possible. Make sure that the computer you intend to use satisfies the conditions given below.

Condition 1: The computer must have a video signal output port.

Check that the computer has a port such as an RGB port, monitor port or CRT port which can output image signals.

If the computer has a built-in monitor, or if using a laptop computer, it may not be possible to connect the computer to the projector, or alternatively you may need to purchase a separate external output port. Refer to the documentation for your computer under a heading such as "Connecting an external monitor" or similar for further details.

Condition 2: The display resolution and frequency of the computer must be listed in the "List of Supported Monitor Displays".

See “Appendix: List of Supported Monitor Displays”(P.106)

Some computers may have functions for changing the output resolution. For details, refer to the section of the documentation provided with your computer and change the setting to within a range given in the list of supported resolutions.
