WARNING

►Do not disassemble or modify the projector and accessories.

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

CAUTION

►Turn off all devices and unplug their power cords prior to
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 core to the projector.
►Make sure that devices are connected to the correct ports. An incorrect
connection may result in malfunction or damage to the device and the projector.

NOTICE

input ports of the projector are recessed.

►Use the cables with straight plugs, not L-shaped ones, as the

Connecting your devices (continued)

Setting up

NOTE

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

- 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 PC 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.

About Plug-and-Play capability

peripheral equipment (i.e. display devices). This projector is VESA DDC 2B
compatible. Plug-and-Play can be used by connecting this projector to a PC
that is VESA DDC (display data channel) compatible.

• Take advantage of this feature by connecting a computer cable to the

About the remote control signal

The remote control works with the projector’s remote
sensor. This projector has a remote sensor on the front.
The sensor senses the signal within the following range
when the sensor is active:

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

•

NOTE

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.

The remote control signal reected in the screen or the like may be available.
