Major Features
䡵 Lightweight high-intensity projector
The synergy of the DLP™ (Digital Light Processing) display system and our own optical design serve to improve the optical
utilization efficiency. The three primary colors (RGB) required in color expression are reproduced with one DMD (Digital
Micromirror Device of high precision). These factors have enabled a design that offers both high intensity and small size/
lightweight features.
䡵 Sharp, clear picture
The DLP™ display system affords RGB color fidelity and inconspicuous gaps between the individual dots, thereby permitting
the display of small characters and diagrams with distinct clarity.
䡵 Powerful functions for presentations
A wide variety of easy-to-set functions have been built into the projector, from a digital keystone correction function (used
when making settings) that corrects picture distortion, to an auto adjustment function that automatically identifies the PC
signal.
A presentation timer that supports presentations and a security lock function protecting against unauthorized projection have
also been added.
䡵 High contrast ration of 2000:1
Use of a new generation of DMD devices has given birth to an amazing 2000:1 high contrast ratio.
By widening the difference of brightness between black and white, you can see a degree of sharpness that is greater than just
the brightness based on specifications.
䡵 Beautiful reproduction of high-quality images from DVD
Faithful reproduction of color tones gives rise to the display of natural images. High-quality images such as those from DVD
and digital high-definition television broadcasts bring out the display capabilities that are an essential strength of the DLP™
display system projector.
䡵 Lamp-mode switch function for the lamp output
Using the lamp Low-mode will extend the life of the lamp and lower the power consumption.
By switching the lamp mode to suit your operating environment, you will save on lamp cost as well as contribute to energy
conservation and ecology.

To Output the External Output Signal of a Notebook Computer
When projection will be with a notebook computer connected, knowledge will be required for the cable connection and notebook
computer startup procedure as well as the operation that follows notebook startup. Please consult the instruction manual of your
notebook computer or the on-line help while performing the following procedure.
Check whether a signal is being sent from the notebook computer to the projector.
1
An indication appearing on the liquid crystal display of the notebook computer does not necessarily mean that an external
output signal is being output.
REFERENCE: When “Resolution” or “Frequency” is not displayed under “Info.” on the menu of the projector, this means that
the external output signal is not being output from the personal computer. See “Resolution/Frequency” on Page E-57.
Should a sign not be output from the notebook computer, please try the operation described below.
