*The message displayed depends on which Input Signal option has been selected in the Video menu.

If only one signal source has been connected, that source will be projected without any

buttons being pressed.

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 immediately. After making the connections,

 

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 something similar.
