Connecting the Projector to Other Equipment

Before connecting, ensure that the power cord of the projector is unplugged from the AC outlet and turn off the equipment to be connected. After making all connections, turn on the projector and then the other pieces of equipment. When connecting a computer, ensure that it is the last equipment to be turned on after all the connections are made.

IMPORTANT:

Ensure that the appropriate input mode has been selected on the projector before you turn on the connected equipment.

•For more details of connection and cables, refer to the operation manual of the connecting equipment.

Note

•Depending on specifications of equipment or the DVIóHDMI digital cable, the signal transmission may not work property. (The HDMI specification does not support all connections to equipment that has digital output terminal using a DVIóHDMI digital cable.)

•You can also use the COMPUTER/COMPONENT 2 terminal as the MONITOR OUT terminal. To use this terminal as an input terminal, set “COMPUTER2 Select” to “Input” before connecting the external equipment. (See page 52.)

•See page 67 “Compatibility Chart” for a list of computer signals compatible with the projector. Use with computer signals other than those listed may cause some of the functions to not work.

•A Macintosh adaptor may be required for use with some Macintosh computers. Contact your nearest Macintosh Dealer.

•Depending on the computer you are using, an image may not be projected unless the computer's external output port is switched on (e.g. Press “Fn” and “F5” keys simultaneously when using a SHARP notebook computer). Refer to the specific instructions in your computer's operation manual to enable your computer's external output port.
