Features of the Projector

Automatic setup function
When projecting computer images, the signals from the connected computer are detected automatically and adjusted so that the optimum images are projected. Even if several people are giving presentations using the same projector, the optimum picture quality can be obtained simply by disconnecting and reconnecting the computers. Each individual setting can also be adjusted manually. (p.37)
Keystone correction function
Keystone distortion in projected images can be corrected easily. This makes images appear correctly even when the projector has been set up on a tilted vertical angle. (p.35)
Brilliant, attractive images
Despite its compact size, the projector can display images at high resolutions with a high degree of luminance, providing beautifully clear images even in bright environments.
Easy to Operate
The accessory remote control can be used for operations such as pausing projection (see "Freeze" on p.43) and zooming in on important areas of an image (see "E-Zoom" on p.45).
Colour mode function
The optimum images can be projected simply by selecting the image quality from the following six preset settings according to the projection environment being used. No other troublesome colour adjustments are necessary. (p.47, 49)

• Presentation • Theatre • Game

Installation

Setting Up the Projector

The projector supports the following two different projection methods, allowing you to choose the best method for displaying your images.
Caution :
Before setting up the projector, be sure to first read the separate Safety Instructions/ World-Wide Warranty Terms.

* A special method of installation is required in order to suspend the projector from
the ceiling. Please contact the place of purchase if you would like to use this installation method. The optional ceiling mount is required when installing the projector to the ceiling. (p.80)
Tip :
When using rear/ceiling projection using a translucent screen, set the "Ceiling" or "Rear Proj." command in the "Advanced" menu to match the installation method. (p.53)

Installation

Screen Size and Projection Distance

The distance between the projector and the screen determines the actual image size.
Recommended distance 0.9–11.3 m (2.9–37.0 ft.)
While referring to the table below, position the projector so that the image size is smaller than the screen size. The values should be used as a guide for setting up the projector. The actual values will vary depending on projection conditions and the zoom setting.

Connecting to a Computer

Caution :
When connecting the projector to a computer, be sure to check the following.
• Turn off the power for both the projector and the computer before connecting them. If the power for either device is on at the time of connection, damage may result.
• Check the shapes of the cable connectors and the device ports before making the connections. If you try to force a connector to fit a device port with a different shape or number of terminals, damage to the connector or port may result.

Eligible Computers

The projector cannot be connected to some types of computer, or projection of images may not be possible even if actual connection is possible. Make sure that the computer you intend to use satisfies the conditions given below.
• Condition 1: The computer must have an image signal output port.
Check that the computer has a port such as an "RGB port", "monitor port" or "CRT port" which can output image signals. If the computer has a built-in monitor, or if using a laptop computer, it may not be possible to connect the computer to the projector, or alternatively you may need to purchase a separate external output port. Refer to the documentation for your computer under a heading such as "Connecting an external monitor" or similar for further details.
• Condition 2: The display resolution and frequency of the computer must be
listed in the "List of Supported Monitor Displays". See "Appendices: List of Supported Monitor Displays" (p.86).
Some computers allow you to change the output resolution, so if necessary, change the resolution to one that matches a setting in the "List of Supported Monitor Displays", while referring to the documentation provided with the computer.
Tip :
• You may need to purchase a separate adapter depending on the shape of the computer's port. Refer to the documentation provided with the computer for further details.
• If the computer and projector are too far away from each other for the accessory computer cable to reach, use the optional VGA-HD15 PC cable. See "Appendices: Optional Accessories" (p.80)

Connecting to a Computer

Projecting Images from the Computer

Use the accessory computer cable to connect the Computer/Component Video port on the left side of the projector to the monitor port of the computer.
To monitor port
To Computer/

(accessory)
• Change the "Input Signal" setting in the "Video" menu to "RGB" after making the connections. (p.47)
• If more than one external component is connected to the projector, use the [Source] button on the projector's control panel or the [Computer] button on the remote control to select the Computer port as the input source. (p.30)
• Do not bind the power cable and the computer cable together, otherwise image interference or errors in operation may result.
Component Video port (blue)

Playing Sound from the Computer

The projector has a single built-in speaker with a maximum output of 1 W. If the computer that is connected to the projector has an audio output port, you can output sound from the computer through the projector's speaker by connecting the computer's audio output port and the Audio port (stereo mini jack) on the left side of the projector using a stereo mini jack audio cable (commercially-available). It is recommended that you use an audio cable with a
3.5 mm diameter stereo mini jack.

Caution :
When connecting the projector to other video sources, take the following precautions.
• Turn off the power for both the projector and the video source before connecting them. If the power for either device is on at the time of connection, damage may result.
• Check the shapes of the cable connectors and the device ports before making the connections. If you try to force a connector to fit a device port with a different shape or number of terminals, a malfunction or damage to the connector or port may result.
