WARNING • Incorrect connecting could result in fire or electrical shock. Whenever attempting to connect other devices to the projector, please thoroughly read the "User's Manual - Safety Guide", this manual and the manual of each device to be connected.

CAUTION • TURN OFF ALL DEVICES prior to connecting them to the projector. Attempting to connect a live device to the projector may generate extremely loud noises or other abnormalities that may result in malfunction and/or damage to the device and/or projector.

ATTENTION • Make sure that you connect devices to the correct port. Incorrect connection may result in malfunction and/or damage to the device and/or projector. Refer to the section “TECHNICAL” of this manual for the pin assignment of connectors and RS-232C communication data.

Some cables have to be used with core set. Use the accessory cable or a designated-type cable for the connection. For cables that have a core only at one end, connect the core to the projector.

Secure the screws on the connectors and tighten.

Whenever attempting to connect a laptop computer to the projector, be sure to activate the laptop’s RGB external image output (set the laptop to CRT display or to simultaneous LCD and CRT display). For details on how this is done, please refer to the instruction manual of the corresponding laptop computer.

NOTE About Plug-and-Play Capability

This projector is compatible with VESA DDC 1/2B. Plug-and-Play can be achieved by connecting this projector to computers that are VESA DDC (display data channel) compatible. Please take advantage of this function by connecting the accessory RGB cable to the RGB port (DDC 1/2B compatible). Plug-and-Play may not work properly if any other type of connection is attempted.

Plug-and-Play is a system composed of the computer, its operating system and peripheral equipment (i.e. display devices).

Please use the standard drivers in your computer as this projector is a Plug-and-Play monitor.

NOTE • Some computers may have multiple display screen modes. Use of some of these modes will not be possible with this projector.

For some RGB input modes, the optional Mac adapter is necessary.

When the image resolution is changed on a computer, depending on an input, automatic adjust function may take some time and may not be completed. In this case, you may not be able to see a check box to select “Yes/No” for the new resolution on Windows. Then the resolution will go back to the original. It might be recommended to use other CRT or TFT monitors to change the resolution.
