Simply by connecting the projector to a Windows Computer with the USB cable, you can project images from the computer
screen. s "Connecting with a USB cable and Projecting (USB Display)" p.18
•Direct power On/Off
In places where power is managed centrally, such as in a conference room, the projector can be set to power on and off automatically when the power source to which the projector is connected is switched on or off.
•The A/V mute slide makes it easy to project and store
You can stop and resume projection easily by opening and closing the A/V mute slide which makes giving clear presentations easier.
•A single foot design means you do not have to make any difficult leveling adjustments
You can easily make height adjustments with one hand.
•Compact and lightweight
Its light and compact body makes it easy to carry.
•No cool down delay
After turning the projector's power off, you can disconnect the projector's power cable without having to wait for the projector to cool down.
• Password Protect to restrict and manage users

By connecting a USB storage or a digital camera to the projector, you can project a Slideshow of JPEG images, such as pictures taken with a digital camera. Images can be projected quickly and easily, with no need to connect a computer.s "Making a Presentation with a Slideshow (EBW8/X8 only)"
You can project high-quality images and music by connecting various digital RGB equipment to the HDMI port, such as a DVD player, Blu-ray disc player, game console, and needless to mention, a computer.

H Air filter |
Takes in air to cool the projector internally. If dust |
|
|
(Air intake vent) |
collects here it can cause the internal temperature to |
|
|
|
rise, and this can lead to problems with operation and |
|
|
|
shorten the optical engine's service life. Be sure to clean |
|
|
|
the Air filter regularly. s p.72, p.77 |
