26 - Installation Procedure
Connections
This section provides explanations on connecting the projector to computers and video
equipment.
Connecting the projector to a computer
■■■■
Switch off the power supply to the projector and computer before attempting to make the
connection.
Eligible computers
There are computers with which connections cannot be established and computers that cannot
be used for projection purposes even though a connection has been established. First of all, it is
necessary to confirm that a connection can be established with the computer in use.
● Conditions for eligible computers
Condition #1: The computer must be fitted with an image signal output port
Check to ascertain that the computer is fitted with ports that will output image signals,
such as the [RGB Port], the [Monitor Port] and the [Video Port]. If you have trouble
confirming this, refer to chapter on external monitor connections in the computer’s
instruction manual.
There are computers, such as combined computer/monitor models and laptop models,
that do not allow connections or for which optional external output ports must be
purchased.
Point
Depending on the computer, there are cases when it is necessary to switch the image signal output with the connection key ( , etc.,) and the settings.

instruction manual for further details.
adjustments on the control panel after
starting up.
Condition #2: The resolution and frequency of the computer must be within the
boundaries listed in the chart on the next page.
Projection will not be possible if the computer does not support the output image signal
resolutions and frequencies shown in the chart on the next page (there are cases where
projection is possible, but vivid projection will not be possible).
Confirm the image signal resolution and frequency with the computer’s instruction
manual.
There are also computers available that allow the output resolution to be amended. In this
case, amend the parameters to fit within the ranges shown in the chart on the next page.
