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 from the plug, not the cable itself.

Connecting with a Computer or a VCR

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

For more information, refer to the computer’s instruction manual.

Notes

The projector accepts VGA, SVGA, XGA, SXGA, SXGA+ and UXGA (60 Hz) signals. However, we recommend that you set the output mode of your computer to XGA mode 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 projector 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.

If you connect a computer that can use the DDC function to the INPUT C connector on this unit, the picture of the projector may not be displayed properly. In that case, change the setting on your computer to disable the DDC function.

This projector is compatible with a DDC2B (Digital Data Channel 2B). If your computer is compatible with a DDC, turn the projector on according to the following procedures.

1Connect the projector to the computer by using the HD D-sub 15-pin cable or DVI cable.

2Turn the projector on.

3Start the computer.
