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.

Tip:
• When computer video has been selected or when audio input is specified on the

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.
