TIP

Selecting an Image Source While Viewing Projected

Images (Preview Function)

If only one signal source has been connected, the signals from that source will be projected without needing to press one of the [Source] buttons.

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.

If the same still picture is projected for a long period of time, the projected image may become burned in on the computer screen. You should avoid leaving the same image displayed for long periods.

The preview function lets you project the images from the currently- selected image source and view them in a preview screen while selecting the signal source.

Use the remote control to carry out all preview function operations.
