Notes

The projector accepts VGA, SVGA, XGA, SXGA (VPL-CX5 only) and SXGA+ (VPL-CX5 only) signals. However, we recommend that you set the output mode of your computer to XGA mode (VPL-CX5) or SVGA mode (VPL-CS5) for the external monitor.

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

For details, refer to the computer’s operating instructions supplied with your computer.
