Approximately 15º
Tip:
• The remote control R/C switch must be switched to "On" to use the remote control.
• Point the remote control towards the remote control receiver on the projector unit.
• Certain screens may shorten the operating distance (approximately 393.70inches (10m) ) of the remote control when the control is pointed towards the screen to reflect its signal during use.
• Situate the remote control receiver out of direct sunlight, fluorescent light, and similar li ght sources . These may cause the remote control to malfunction.
• If the remote control malfunctions or stops operating, the batteries may need changing. Replace the batteries with a fresh set.

Connecting to a Computer

Computers which can be connected

Some computer models may not allow connection, and others may allow connection but not projection. Make sure that the specifications of the computer you are using for connection meet the following two requirements.
[The computer must have a video signal output port]
Make sure that the computer has a port that outputs a video signal. A port that outputs a video signal is called an "RGB port", "monitor port ", or "video port" or the like. Consult the section de scribing "connecti on to an external mo nitor" or th e like in the instruction manual for the computer that you are using, and make sure that the computer has a video signal output port. Computers w ith an integrated monitor and other components as well as laptop computers may require separate purchase of an external output port. In other cases, an external output port cannot be attached.
[The resolution and fre quency of the compute r must be withi n the range of specifications shown on the following page]
The resolution and frequency of the video signal output by your computer must be compatible with your projector in order to allow projection (some computers allow partial projection, but clear projection cannot be obtained). Check the resolution and frequency of the video signal in the instruction manual of the computer you are using for projection.
18

Compatible Mode Chart for Connectable Computers

If the resolution and frequency of the video signals which are output from the computer do not corres pond to a ny of t he valu es in t he tabl e belo w, tho se vide o signals cannot be projected. (In some cases it may be possible to project such signals, but they will not produce clear images.) Check the instructi on manual for the computer fo r de tails on the resoluti on a nd frequency of the video signals.
Furthermore, some computers may let you change the output resolution. If this is the case, change the resolution to a value in the table below.

Connecting to a Computer

Tip:
• Before connecting, switch off power to the projector and computer.
• Check that cable and port interfaces match each other.
[Projecting Computer Video]
You can make presentations on a large screen by projecting computer video from your projector.
Computer / Component Video port
Computer Monitor port (Video port)
* If your computer port style is not a mini D-Sub 15-pin interface, use a connection
adapter that provides this interface. When connecting to a Macintosh, you may need to use the optional Mac adapter.
Tip:
• When connected do not bind the power cord and the computer cable together.
• Some computer models may require a connection adapter during connection. Consult your computer instruction manual or the computer vendor.

[Outputting Computer Audio From Your Projector]
You can output computer audio from the built-in speaker in your projector. Your projector allows output at a maximum 1W.

Audio cable
(sold separately)
Tip:
• When computer video has been selected or when audio input is specified on the computer by menu, your projector outputs an audio signal from the computer.
• Purchase an audio cable that matches the port style of your computer's output port and the projector's Audio In port (stereo mini jack).

Providing Sound Through an External Audio Device

Connecting the Audio Out por t of your p rojector to a PA syst em, active speaker system, or other speakers with built-in amplifiers provides powerful, pleasing sound. Use a separately sold audio connection cable (pin ring) connecting to a
0.14inches (3.5mm) stereo mini-jack plug.

Tip:
• When a cable is connected at the the built-in speaker to external sound output.
• Though the projector outputs audio for projected video images, in the case of A/V devices, the audio output corresponds to the audio devices connected to the Audio
port
s.
• Before purchasing an audio connection cable, thoroughly check the connection interface style of the external audio devices you are connecting.
