Connecting the Projector

When making connections, be sure to do the following:

•Turn off all equipment before making any connections.

•Use the proper cables for each connection.

•Insert the cable plugs properly; plugs that are not fully inserted often generate noise or cause picture degradation. When pulling out a cable, be sure to pull it out grasping the plug, not the cable itself.

Connecting to a Computer

This section describes how to connect the projector to a computer.

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

Notes

•The projector accepts VGA, SVGA, XGA, and SXGA signals. However, we recommend that you set the output mode of your computer to SVGA (VPL-PS10) or XGA (VPL-PX15/PX10) 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 an 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 operating instructions supplied with your computer.

•The supplied mouse cable may not work properly depending on your computer.

•This projector is compatible with DDC2B (Display Data Channel 2B). If your computer is compatible with DDC1), turn the projector on according to the following procedures.

1 Connect the projector to the computer using the supplied HD D-sub 15-pin cable.

2 Turn the projector on.

3 Start the computer.
