If there is no picture, or the pict ure is not displayed correctly.
• Power on process for the projector and the PC.
B e sure to connect the projector and notebook PC while the projector is in sta ndby mode and before turning
on the power to the notebook PC.
In most cases the output signal from the notebook PC is not turn ed on unless connected to the projector be-
fore being powered up.
NOTE: You can check the horizontal frequency of the current signal in the projector’s menu under Information. If i t reads
“0kHz”, this means there is no signal being outpu t from the computer. See page 45 or go to next step.
• Enabling the computer’s external display.
Displaying an image on the notebook PC’s screen does not nec essarily mean it outputs a signal to the projec-
tor. When using a PC compatible laptop, a combination of function keys will ena ble/disable the external dis-
play. Usually, the combination of the ‘Fn” key along with one of the 12 function keys gets the external display
to come on or off. For example, NEC laptops use Fn + F3, while Dell laptops use Fn + F8 key combinations to
toggle through external display selections.
• Non-standard signal output from the computer
If the output signal from a notebook PC is not an indu stry standard, the projected image may not be displayed
correctly. Should this happen, deactivate the notebook PC’s LCD screen when the pr ojector display is in use.
Each notebook PC has a different way of deactivate/reactivate the local LCD scre ens as described in the pre-
vious step. Refer to your computer’s documentation for detailed infor mation.
• Image displayed is incorrect when using a Macintosh
When using a Macintosh with the projector, set the DIPswitch of the Mac ad apter (not supplied with the projec-
tor) according to your resolution. After setting, restar t your Macintosh for the changes to take affect.
For setting display modes other than those suppor ted by your Macintosh and the projector, changing the DIP
switch on a Mac adapter may bounce an image slightly or may display not hing. Should this happen, set the
DIP switch to the 13”  xed mode and then restart your Macintosh. After that, restore the DIP switches to a dis-
playable mode and then restart the Macintosh again.
NOTE: A Video Adapter cable manufactured by Apple Computer is neede d for a PowerBook which does not have a mini
D-Sub 15-pin connector.
• Mirroring on a PowerBook
* When using the projector with a Macintosh PowerBook, outp ut may not be set to 1024 x 768 unless “mirroring”
is off on your PowerBook. Refer to owner’s manual supplied with your Macintosh c omputer for mirroring.
• Folders or icons are hidden on the Macintosh screen
Folders or icons may not be seen on the screen. Should t his happen, select [View] → [Arrange] from the Apple
menu and arrange icons.
