Connecting

When making connections, be sure to:

•turn off all equipment before making any connections.

•use the proper cables for each connection.

•insert the plugs of the cables properly; plugs that are not fully inserted often generate noise. When pulling out a cable, be sure to pull it out from the plug, not the cable itself.

Connecting with a Computer or aVCR

This section describes how to connect the projector to a computer or video equipment.

Also refer to the instruction manual of equipment to be connected.

Notes

•This unit accepts the VGA, SVGA, XGA, SXGA or UXGA (60 Hz) signals. However, we recommend you to set the output signal of your computer to the XGA.

•If you set your computer, such as a notebook type IBM PC/AT 1) compatible, to output the signal to both the display of your computer and the external monitor, the picture of the external monitor may not appear properly. In such cases, set the output mode of your computer to output the signal to only the external monitor.

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

•This projector complies with DDC1 and DDC2B (Plug & Play). (DDC1 and DDC2B are the Display Data Channel (DDCTM) 2) standard in the VESA standard.) When connecting a DDC1 host system, the projector synchronizes with V.CLK that follows the VESA standard and outputs EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) to the data line. When connecting a DDC2B host system, the projector automatically switches to the appropriate communication mode.

The INPUT B RGB (DVI) connector complies with the VESA DDC2B. If your computer or graphics

board is compatible with DDC, turn on the power of the equipment as follows:

1 According to the input signal, set INPUT-B TERM. in the SET SETTING menu to PC ANALOG or PC DIGITAL.

2 Connect the projector to the computer with the DVI cable.

3 Turn on the power of the projector.

4 Boot up the computer.
