Features of the Projector
Automatic keystone correction function
The vertical angle of the projector is
detected, so that any vertical keystone
distortion in the projected images can
be automatically corrected. (p.34)
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)
Color 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.40, 47, 49)
• sRGB • Normal • Meeting
• Presentation • Theatre • Game
Compact and lightweight
The projector has a compact body with a footprint the size of a B5 page
(19 (D) x 27.6 (W) x 7 (H) cm (7.5 (D) x 10.9 (w) x 2.8 (H))) and is light in weight
(approximately 1.9 kg. (4.2 lbs)), making it easy to carry.
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). In addition, the remote control can be used to move the
pointer around on the computer screen during projection (see "Wireless Mouse
Function" on p.21). If using the wireless mouse function, you can use the remote control
to scroll back and forth through pages when projecting a PowerPoint presentation.

Tip :
• The projector's lens allows a zoom ratio of up to about 1.16. The image size at the
maximum zoom setting is about 1.16 times bigger than the image size at the minimum
zoom setting.
• The image size will be reduced when keystone correction is carried out.
15
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.
16
• 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.88).
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.82)
Projecting Images from the Computer
The shape and specifications of the computer's monitor port will determine
what type of cable should be used. Check the following to see which type of
