Connecting the

Projector

When you connect the projector, make sure to:

•Turn off all equipment before making any connections.

•Use the proper cables for each connection.

•Insert the cable plugs firmly; loose connections may increase noise and reduce performance of picture signals. When pulling out a cable, be sure to pull it out by the plug, not the cable itself.

When connecting to a LAN using a LAN cable, see “Operating Instructions for Network” stored on the CD-ROM.

Notes

•The projector accepts VGA, SVGA, XGA, WXGA, SXGA, SXGA+ and UXGA signals. However, we recommend that you set the output mode of your computer to SXGA+ (VPL-FE40) or XGA (VPL-FX40) mode for the external monitor.

•If you set your computer, such as a notebook computer, 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.
