Cautions on security when using wireless LAN products
With a wireless LAN, radio waves are used instead of LAN cables for the exchange of data between the wireless
access points (computers, etc.), offering the advantage that LAN connections can be made freely within the range
of the radio waves.
On the other hand, the radio waves reach all points within this range, regardless of walls or other obstacles, possibly resulting in the problems described below if the proper security measures are not taken.
• Contents of transmissions may be intercepted
Malicious third parties may purposely intercept the radio waves and steal information contained in the transmissions, including such personal information as ID numbers, passwords, credit card numbers, e-mail messages,
etc.
• Improper intrusions
Malicious third parties may without permission access the personal or company network and steal personal or
confidential information, pretend to be someone else and leak incorrect information, rewrite information that has
been intercepted, introduce computer viruses or otherwise damage data or the system, etc.
Wireless LAN cards and wireless access points generally include security measures for dealing with these problems. Making the proper security settings before using the products can reduce the risk of such problems arising.
We recommend that you fully understand the problems that can arise when using the products without making the
security settings, then that you make the security settings based on your own decision and at your own discretion.
Operation of the USB Wireless LAN Unit is subjected to the regulations of the countries listed below, and may be
prohibited to use outside the country where you purchased. If you need to use the projector outside the country
where you purchased, you must remove the USB Wireless LAN Unit from the projector before exporting.

Introduction to the Projector
This section introduces you to the NP905/NP901W projector and describes key features and controls.
Congratulations on Your Purchase of the Projector
The NP905 is a sophisticated XGA projector that produces an enhanced display. The NP901W is a WXGA projector that produces a wide XGA image. With the NP905/NP901W you will be able to project images up to 300" (measured diagonally). Enjoy crisp and sharp large screen display from your PC, workstation or Macintosh computer,
DVD player, VCR, satellite hookup, HDTV source, as well as images from your USB storage device. The NP905/
NP901W provides for enhanced security options to help deter projector theft and provides for full projector control
through the PC control port (D-Sub 9 Pin) and LAN support. With input and output flexibility, long lamp life and a full
function remote, the NP905/NP901W lets you enjoy larger than life viewing from a compact and easy to setup and
use projector.
Features you’ll enjoy :
• LCD projector with high resolution and high brightness
High resolution display - up to UXGA compatible, XGA (NP905)/WXGA (NP901W) native resolution.
• Direct Power Off & Auto Start
The projector has a feature called “Direct Power Off”. This feature allows the projector to be turned off (even
when projecting an image) using a power strip equipped with a switch and a breaker.
The AUTO POWER ON feature eliminates the need to always use the POWER button on the remote control or
projector cabinet.
• Integrated RJ-45 connector for wired networking capability along with wireless networking capabilities
An RJ-45 connector and a USB Wireless LAN unit are equipped as standard features*.
Present from anywhere in the room when using as a wireless LAN projector and software contained on the sup
plied User Supportware 5 CD-ROM, no physical signal cable connection to a PC is required.
NOTE: The NP905/NP901W series projectors distributed in some areas and countries do not come standard with the USB
Wireless LAN Unit.
If you purchase the projector without the USB Wireless LAN Unit installed and need to present to the projector via a wireless
connection, the optional USB Wireless LAN Unit must be installed.
-
• Windows Vista standard functions Network Projector and Remote Desktop can be used
A Windows Vista-based computer can be operated using the projector over a network.
The projector supports the Network Projector function and the Remote Desktop function of Windows Vista.

screen material (or a wall).
• Seven picture preset modes for user adjustable picture and color settings
Each picture preset mode can be customized and memorized according to your preference.
• Silicon Optix HQV technology produces superior video processing
The technology produces superior video processing using pixel-based, motion-adaptive de-interlacing to re-
move undesirable motion artifacts typical of interlaced signals.
• Preventing unauthorized use of the projector
Enhanced smart security settings for password protection, cabinet control panel lock, and USB memory protec-
tion key to help prevent unauthorized access, adjustments and theft deterrence.

2. Installation and Connections
Making Connections
Connecting Your PC or Macintosh Computer
NOTE: When using with a notebook PC, be sure to connect the projector and notebook PC while the projector is in standby mode
and before turning on the power to the notebook PC.
In most cases the output signal from the notebook PC is not turned on unless connected to the projector before being powered up.
* If the screen goes blank while using your remote control, it may be the result of the computer’s screen-saver or power manage-
ment software.
Enabling the computer’s external display
Displaying an image on the notebook PC’s screen does not necessarily mean it outputs a signal to the projector.
When using a PC compatible laptop, a combination of function keys will enable/disable the external display.
Usually, the combination of the ‘Fn” key along with one of the 12 function keys gets the external display to come on
or off. For example, NEC laptops use Fn + F3, while Dell laptops use Fn + F8 key combinations to toggle through
external display selections.
NOTE: The COMPUTER 1 IN and COMPUTER 2
IN connectors support Plug & Play (DDC2B).
NOTE: For older Macintosh, use a commercially
available pin adapter (not supplied) to connect to
your Mac’s video port.
Audio cable (not supplied)
VGA signal cable (supplied)
To mini D-Sub 15-pin connector on the
projector. It is recommended that you
use a commercially available distribution amplifier if connecting a signal
cable longer than the one supplied.
IBM VGA or Compatibles (Notebook
type) or Macintosh (Notebook type)
• First turn off the computer and the projector before making connections.
• Turn down the volume on the computer before connecting an audio cable to the headphone jack of the com
puter. After connecting the computer to the projector, you can adjust the sound level on the computer and the
projector to your preference.
• You are recommended to connect an audio cable to an audio out connector (mini jack type) if any.
NOTE:
The NP905/NP901W is not compatible with video decoded outputs of either the NEC ISS-6020 or ISS-6010 switchers.

What is HDCP/HDCP technology?
HDCP is an acronym for High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection. High bandwidth Digital Content Protection
(HDCP) is a system for preventing illegal copying of video data sent over a Digital Visual Interface (DVI).
If you are unable to view material via the HDMI input, this does not necessarily mean the projector is not functioning
properly. With the implementation of HDCP, there may be cases in which certain content is protected with HDCP
and might not be displayed due to the decision/intention of the HDCP community (Digital Content Protection, LLC).

Correcting Keystone Distortion
When the projector is not exactly perpendicular to the screen, keystone distortion occurs. To overcome it, you can use the
“Keystone” function, a digital technology that can adjust for keystone-type distortion, resulting in a crisp, square image.
The following procedure explains how to use the [KEYSTONE] screen from the menu to correct trapezoidal distortions.
When the projector is set up at an angle in relation to the screen, adjust the Horizontal option of the Keystone menu
so that the top and bottom of sides of the projected image are parallel.
Auto Keystone Correction
The Auto Keystone correction feature will correct vertical distortion of a projected image on the screen. No special
operation required. Just put the projector on a flat surface.
To use the Auto Keystone function, first you must select [AUTO KEYSTONE] in [KEYSTONE] from the menu.

Operation Using an HTTP Browser
L
Overview
The use of HTTP server functions will allow control of the projector from a web browser without the installation of
special software. Please be sure to use “Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.x” or a higher version for the web browser. (This
device uses “JavaScript” and “Cookies” and the browser should be set to accept these functions. The setting method will vary depending on the version of browser. Please refer to the help files and the other information provided in
your software.)
Access is gained to the HTTP server functions by specifying
http:// <the projector’s IP address> /index.html
in the entry column of the URL.
NOTE:
• The display’s or button’s response can be slowed down or operation may not be accepted depending the settings of your net
work. Should this happen, consult your network administrator.
The projector may not respond if its buttons are repeatedly pressed in rapid intervals. Should this happen, wait a moment and
repeat. If you still can’t get any response, turn off and back on the projector.
• Do not use the HTTP Server functions and PC Control Utility 3.0 included on the supplied Supportware 5 CD-ROM. Using both
at the same time may result in a connection failure or slow response.
Preparation Before Use
Make network connections and set up the projector and confirm that it is complete before engaging in browser operations. (→ [NETWORK SETTINGS] on page 99)
Operation with a browser that uses a proxy server may not be possible depending on the type of proxy server and
the setting method. Although the type of proxy server will be a factor, it is possible that items that have actually
been set will not be displayed depending on the effectiveness of the cache, and the contents set from the browser
may not be reflected in operation. It is recommended that a proxy server not be used unless it is unavoidable.
-
Handling of the Address for Operation via a Browser
Regarding the actual address that is entered for the address or entered to the URL column when operation of the
projector is via a browser, the host name can be used as it is when the host name corresponding to the IP address
of the projector has been registered to the domain name server by a network administrator, or the host name corresponding to the IP address of the projector has been set in the “HOSTS” file of the computer being used.
Example 1: When the host name of the projector has been set to “pj.nec.co.jp”,
http://pj.nec.co.jp/index.html
is specified for the address or the entry column of the URL.
Example 2: When the IP address of the projector is “192.168.73.1”, access is gained to the
HTTP server functions by specifying
http://192.168.73.1/index.html
for the address or the entry column of the URL.
