Major Features
䡵 Evolution of the Best Seller Mobile Projector
The newly developed Iris Lens Cover and Auto Keystone permit speedy setup and projection, and after the presentation is
finished, just switch off the power of the projector and the Instant Shut Down function allows it to soon be moved to another
location.
䡵 DCM “Dual Color Mode”
This next-generation small sized projector contains a “dual color mode” function, the world’s first for a small sized projector.
The use of two color wheels permits optimum color combination to suit the scene, thereby greatly improving color reproduction.
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 High contrast ration of 2000:1
Use of a new generation of DLP™ chip 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 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.
There is also a built-in “Presentation Timer” function for further presentation convenience.
䡵 Great moving image playback capabilities using the same principles as DLP Cinema
technology
DLP type projectors have the same makings as the DLP Cinema technology used in movie theaters. Because of their extremely fast response, even images with much movement – sports, movies – play smoothly without blurring.
䡵 Security lock function
The lock can be set so that a password must be input when the projector is started up. Without the correct password, no
operations other than turning the power on and off can be performed. This function effectively protects the projector from
unauthorized use.
䡵 Low-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.

About DLP projectors
Though careful attention is paid to providing optimum quality, please note that with DLP type projectors, in rare cases there may
be black spots or bright spots among the picture elements.
Note:
* Please purchase a screen.
* A component cable (order code: 246C558-10), which is available separately, is required to connect a DVD player or other equipment with
YCbCr connectors.
* A component cable (order code: 246C558-10), which is available separately, is required to connect high definition (HD) video equipment
or other equipment with YPbPr connectors.

Connecting Personal Computers and Video Equipment
Connecting this unit with a personal computer permits presentation data to be projected as a large screen display at
conferences, lectures, and on other occasions. Furthermore, connecting this unit to a DVD player or other video equipment source in combination with an audio/video amplifier and speaker system will allow you to enjoy convincing home
theater.
Connections with Personal Computer
Please check the following before making connections with the personal computer.
• A suitable resolution for this projector is 1024 ⳯ 768 dots (XGA). The maximum displayable resolution is 1280 ⳯ 1024 dots (S-
XGA).
Make changes to a displayable resolution at the personal computer side. Please check with “Table of Supported Frequency” on
Page E-61.
• The setting method for the personal computer will differ depending on the specific model. Please read the personal computer
instruction manual or the on-line help information, or contact the manufacturer of your personal computer.
Connect the projector’s RGB connector using the included RGB signal cable.
• When making connections with the RGB connector of the projector, please make the connection via the supplied RGB signal
cable.
• The projector has been set to “Auto” at the factory; however, if it does not project, please change the input setting to “RGB”
using the menu sequence of [Setup] → [Input Format] → [RGB].
See “Input Format” on Page E-49.

Note:
* Before making connections, check the power of the projector and the equipment to be connected is switched off.
* 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 startup. Please consult the instruction manual of your notebook computer or the online help.

Connecting Personal Computers and Video Equipment
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-53.
Should a sign not be output from the notebook computer, please try the operation described below.
2
For an IBM PC/AT compatible computer, press the [Fn] key plus any one of the [F1] to [F10] keys. (See the table below.)
Manufacturer Model Key
DELL All computers Fn + F8
EPSON All computers Fn + F8

Note: Table information is current to December 2003.
Note:
When the liquid crystal display of the notebook computer and the projector are displayed at the same time, the projected image might not be
correct even though the liquid crystal display shows a correct indication. Should this occur, stop the simultaneous display of the notebook
computer and try the mode with external output only. Try an operation such as that described in aforementioned Step 2 and try closing the
liquid crystal panel which might result in external output only.

Connecting Personal Computers and Video Equipment
Connections with Composite Signals
Video Equipment with VIDEO Connectors
• Connect to the projector’s VIDEO connector using a commercially available video cable. Please attach the supplied ferrite core
to the video cable as described below.
• The input setting of the VIDEO connector has been set to “Auto” at the factory; however, if the projector does not project, please
change the input setting to “Your Country’s Television Broadcast System” using the menu sequence of [Setup] → [Input Format]
→ [Video].
See “Input Format” on Page E-49.
Video Equipment with S-VIDEO Connectors
• Connect to the projector’s S-VIDEO connector using a commercially available S-Video cable.

Projecting component signals
Please note that when inputting 480i or 576i signals using a separately sold component cable and viewing video images, depending on the
connected device and the video source being projected, the picture may be disturbed or may not be projected properly.
In such cases, it is possible to achieve a picture with no disturbance that is projected properly by either switching to 480p signals or
connecting using an S-Video cable instead.
