Set “Input-A Signal Sel.” in the SET SETTING menu to “Auto” or “Computer.” If the input signal does not appear properly, set it to “Computer.” (1 page 39)

Notes

•The projector accepts VGA, SVGA, XGA, SXGA, SXGA+, WXGA signals. However, we recommend that you set the output mode of your computer to WXGA mode for the external monitor.

•To connect a Macintosh computer equipped with a video output connector of a type having two rows of pins, use a commercially available plug adaptor.

•If you set your computer, such as a notebook type, to output the signal to both computer’s display and the external monitor, the picture of the monitor may not appear properly. Set your computer to output the signal only to the external monitor.

For details, refer to the computer’s operating instructions supplied with your computer. For settings of the computer, consult with the manufacturer of the computer.

•The HDMI connector of this projector is not compatible with DSD (Direct Stream Digital) Signal or CEC (Consumer Electronics control) Signal.

•When connecting an HDMI cable to the projector, make sure the v mark on the lower part of the HDMI input of the projector and the v mark on the connector of the cable is set at the same position.
