•
jects that fell into the unit. Do not insert any metal objects such as a wire or screwdriver into the unit. If something should
fall into the unit, immediately disconnect the power cable from the unit and have the object removed by a qualied KAGA
COMPONENTS service person.
Do not place any liquids on top of the unit.

•

Helpful Hints

Convenient functions for the use of this product

I would like to use the projector in a simple manner.

This product is equipped with an auto focus function and an auto keystone
correction function. (Only the KG-PS232Xh/232X have the auto focus
function.) When shipped from the factory, both of these functions are ON.
When using this product, just press the POWER/STANDBY button and set the
image size with the zoom ring to allow the image to be projected simply.
See “Basic Operation” for details. See Page E-21.

I would like to project a clear image in conjunction with the projection
location. (Example: I would like to project onto a blackboard, etc.)

A projection mode to suit the purpose can be selected with Projection

Mode under Simple Menu. For example, by selecting the Blackboard

mode a color adjustment that suits blackboards will be made automatically,
allowing a clear image to be projected without making detailed settings.
Other modes include Graphics and Presentation modes.
See “Projection Mode Selection” for information about operation from the
remote control. See Page E-41.
See “Projection Mode” for information about operation from the menu. See
Page E-52.

Technical Point

What is the automatic keystone
correction function?

When the projector is tilted up or down when pro jecting, the
picture will appear distorted.

There are two types of keystone distortion, in the horizon­tal or vertical direction. This projector has a function that
manually o r automatically correct s the distor tion in the
vertical directi on.

See “Auto Keystone,” and “Keystone” for details. S ee Pages
E-53 and 54.

Technical Point

What is the projection mode?

This projector is already equipped with projection modes
that suit the applicati on. This permits an immed iate color
adjustment to suit the purpose without performing det ailed
adjustments suc h as Gamma Correc tion, Color Tem-

perature, or White Level.

I would like to stop the projection temporarily.

The projection can be stopped temporarily during a presentation or class.
By using Still Image (FREEZE), or Blank/Mute (BLANK) the projection can
be paused, or the video can be made blank temporarily.
See “Temporarily Blanking/Muting the Video/Audio”, or “Pausing the Video”
for information about operation from the remote control. See Pages E-40
and 41.
See “Blank/Mute” or “Still Image” for information about operation from the
menu. See Page E-57.

when the power cable is unplugged soo n after turning o
the power, the internal power supply will power the rotation
of the coolin g fan and cool the lamp allowing immediate
removal.

Technical Point

Theft and mischief are concerns.

This projector is equipped with security lock functions that allow it to be
used more safely including a theft-prevention lock compatible with the
Kensington MicroSaver® security system, and a password setting
See “Names of the Projector Parts and their Functions” for details about the
theft-prevention lock. See Page E-18.
See “Set Password” for information about setting the password. See Page E-

75.

Technical Point

What is a password setting?

This projec tor is equipped wi th a function that can restrict
the star t-up of the p rojector by setting a password to avoid
mischief and unau thorized use.

When a password has been set, upon starting the projector a
password entry screen will be displayed. Use of the projector
will not be possi ble unless the password is entered.

Technical Point

What is a ferrite core?

These a re acces sories that are used to reduce the radiated noise from the inter face cables of
digital equipment a nd other devices. When a high frequency current that is the source of noise
ows in a cable, it will generate a magnetic eld an d noise will be emitted. The ferrite core
absorbs t his and conver ts it to heat which is radiated. Attaching a ferrite core will reduce the
deterioration of the pi cture.

“WARNING”

Technical Point

What is an RGB connector?

This is a connector used for transferri ng video signals to
a monitor or other equipment. The three col ors R (red), G
(green), and B (blue) are separated and transf erred as an
analog signal with this system. The display of a personal
computer is expressed by the RGB color spa ce, and synthe­sizing the three colors perm its all colors to be reproduced.
These conne ctors mainly use a standard called mini D-Sub
15-pin that describes their form, and control signals used for
signal synchronization, as well as other sign als, are trans­ferred at the same time as the RGB color signal.

What is a Video Connector, an S-connector,
a YCbCr Connector, and a YPbPr Connector?

Several types of connectors are used as video connectors
including composite video connectors, separate video con­nectors, and component video connectors.

Composite video connectors are usually called pin jacks or
RCA jacks, and they are mainly included on video decks,
document cameras, etc.

Separate video connec tors are most typically called S-video,
and becau se they take the form of mini DIN 4-pin con nec­tors, mini DIN 4-pin m ay also be used to describe S-video.

Component video conne ctors are called color-dierence
input connectors. The us ual NTSC (480i) signal connector
that transfers the C color signal wh ich is divided into the B-Y
color-dierence signal Cb (P b), and the R-Y color-dierence
signal Cr (Pr) is described as Y/Cb/Cr. Connectors that can
be used for video f ormats above NTSC may be described as
Y/Pb/Pr.

Note

A commercially-availab le component cable is re-

•
quired to make con nection with equipment h av­ing YCbCr connectors suc h as DVD players, etc.

A commercially-available component cable is

•
required to make con nection with equipmen t

What is an RGB connector?

This is a connector used for transferri ng video signals to
a monitor or other equipment. The three col ors R (red), G
(green), and B (blue) are separated and transf erred as an

15-pin that describes their form, and control signals used for
signal synchronization, as well as other sign als, are trans­ferred at the same time as the RGB color signal.

What are supported frequencies?

Supported frequencies is a term that indicates the breadth
of the scanning frequencies that this projector su pports. The
scanning frequenci es express the speed when the display is
drawing the screen. The number of lines that can be drawn
in 1 second are called the h orizontal scanning frequency, and
the number of t imes the screen is overwritten in 1 second is
called the vertical scanning f requency. The higher the scan­ning frequenc y, the higher t he resolution or the greater the
number of simult aneously expressed colors can will b e pos­sible, and a display having little icker can be produced. As
an example, a display having a ver tical scanning f requency
of 70 Hz can draw the screen 70 times in 1 second.

RGB signal cable (Supplied item)

Connect the COMPUTER IN 1/2 connector of the projector with the video output
connector of the personal computer using the supplied RGB signal cable or a com­mercially-available one.

When making connections, align the orientation of the connectors and insert

•
them. Then, turn the knobs and secure to the connector of the projector.
The factory default input signal setting is set to Auto; however, if there is no

•
projection, change the setting of the input signal to Computer with Advanced

Menu ▶ Input ▶ Computer 1/2. See “Input” for details about the setting of

input signals. See Page E-74.

To Output the External Output Signal of a Notebook Computer

When connecting a notebook computer, knowledge will be required for the cable
connection and notebook computer startup procedure as well as the operation
that follows notebook computer startup. Please consult the instruction manual
of your notebook computer or the on-line help while performing the following
procedure.

1. Check whether a signal is being sent from the notebook computer to this

projector.

An indication appearing on the liquid crystal display of the notebook comput­er does not necessarily mean that an external output signal is being output.

2. When a signal is not being output from the notebook computer, take

steps to output an external output signal.

The output method of the external output signal will dier depending on the
personal computer manufacturer. See the table below for details.

Note

When t he liquid cryst al screen of the notebo ok
computer and the projec tor image are displayed
at the same time, the projected image migh t not
be correct even though the li quid crystal scree n
displays the correct image. 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 step 2 at the
left, and try closing the liquid crystal panel whi ch
might result in exter nal output only.

video cable.
The factory default input setting of the VIDEO IN connector is set to Auto; how-

•
ever, if there is no projection, change the input setting with Advanced Menu ▶

Input ▶ Video. See “Input” for details. See Page E-74.

Using S-Video Connectors

Connect to the projector’s S-VIDEO IN connector using a commercially-available

•
S-video cable.
The factory default input setting of the S-VIDEO IN connector is set to Auto;

Technical Point

What is a RCA Connector,
and a S-Connector?

Several types of connectors are used as video connectors
including composite video connectors, separate video con­nectors, and component video connectors.

Composite video connectors are usually called pin jacks or
RCA jacks, and they are mainly included on video decks,
document cameras, etc.

Separate video connec tors are most typically called S-video,
and becau se they take the form of mini DIN 4-pin con nec­tors, mini DIN 4-pin m ay also be used to describe S-video.

Component video conne ctors are called color-dierence
input connectors. The us ual NTSC (480i) signal connector
that transfers the C color signal wh ich is divided into the B-Y
color-dierence signal Cb (P b), and the R-Y color-dierence
signal Cr (Pr) is described as Y/Cb/Cr. Connectors that can
be used for video f ormats above NTSC may be described as
Y/Pb/Pr.

Technical Point

What is a ferrite core?

These are accessories that are used to reduce the radiated
noise from the interface cables of digital equi pment and
other devices. When a hig h frequen cy current that is the
source of no ise ows in a cable, it will generate a magnetic
eld and noise will be emitted. The ferrite core abso rbs this
and converts it to heat which is radiated. Attaching a ferrite
core will reduce the deterioration of the picture.
