►Be careful not to damage the cables, and do not use damaged cables.

CAUTION

connecting them to projector. Connecting a live device to the projector may
generate extremely loud noises or other abnormalities that may result in
malfunction or damage to the device and the projector.
►Use appropriate accessory or designated cables. Ask your dealer about non­accessory cables which may be required a specic length or a ferrite core by
the regulations. For cables with a core only at one end, connect the end with the

Setting up

Connecting your devices (continued)

•

NOTE

and make sure that all the devices are suitable to be connected with this product. Before
connecting to a PC, check the signal level, the signal timing, and the resolution.

- Be sure to consult to the administrator of the network. Do not connect LAN port to any
network that might have the excessive voltage.

- Some signal may need an adapter to input this projector.

- Some PCs have multiple screen display modes that may include some signals which
are not supported by this projector.

-

Although the projector can display signals with resolution up to UXGA (1600X1200), the signal will be
converted to the projector’s panel resolution before being displayed. The best display performance
will be achieved if the resolutions of the input signal and the projector panel are identical.

• While connecting, make sure that the shape of the cable's connector ts the port to

connect with. And be sure to tighten the screws on connectors with screws.

• When connecting a laptop PC to the projector, be sure to activate the PC’s external

RGB output. (Set the laptop PC to CRT display or to simultaneous LCD and CRT
display.) For details on how this is done, please refer to the instruction manual of the
corresponding laptop PC.

• When the picture resolution is changed on a computer depending on an input,

automatic adjustment function may take some time and may not be completed. In this
case, you may not be able to see a check box to select “Yes/No” for the new resolution
on Windows. Then the resolution will go back to the original. It might be recommended
to use other CRT or LCD monitors to change the resolution.

• In some cases, this projector may not display a proper picture or display any picture on

screen. For example, automatic adjustment may not function correctly with some input
signals. An input signal of composite sync or sync on G may confuse this projector, so
the projector may not display a proper picture.

•

The HDMI port of this model is compatible with HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection)

and therefore capable of displaying a video signal from HDCP compatible DVD players or the like.

Be sure to read the manuals for devices before connecting them to the projector,

About the remote control signal

The remote control works with the projector’s remote sensors. This projector has
three remote sensors on the front, on the top, and on the back.
The sensors can be respectively turned active or inactive using the “REMOTE
RECEIV.” in the SERVICE item of OPTION Menu (
signal within the following range when the sensor is active.

The front and top sensors:

60 degrees (30 degrees to the left and right of the
sensor) within 3 meters about.

The back sensor:

40 degrees (20 degrees to the left and right of the
sensor) within 3 meters about.

NOTE

• The remote control signal reected in
the screen or the like may be available. If it is
difcult to send the signal to the sensor directly,
attempt to make the signal reect.

• The remote control uses infrared light to send
signals to the projector (Class 1 LED), so be
sure to use the remote control in an area free
from obstacles that could block the remote
control’s signal to the projector.

• The remote control may not work correctly if
strong light (such as direct sun light) or light
from an extremely close range (such as from
an inverter uorescent lamp) shines on the
remote sensor of the projector. Adjust the
position of projector avoiding those lights.
