Connecting other compatible computers

When connecting the projector to a compatible computer other than an IBM-PC (VGA/SVGA/XGA/SXGA) or Macintosh (i.e. Workstation), a separate cable may be needed. Please contact your dealer for more information.

Connecting computers other than the recommended types may result in damage to the projector, the computer, or both.

“Plug and Play” function

This projector is compatible with VESA-standard DDC 1/DDC 2B. The projector and a VESA DDC compatible computer will communicate their setting requirements, allowing for quick and easy setup.

Before using the “Plug and Play” function, be sure to turn on the projector first and the connected computer last.

The DDC, Plug and Play function of this projector operates only when used in conjunction with a VESA DDC compatible computer.
