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 ou tput 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.
