Making Connections

Connectng Your PC or Macntosh 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 man-

agement software.

Enablng the computer’s external dsplay

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.

VGA signal cable (supplied)
To mini D-Sub 15-pin connector on
the projector. It is recommended
that you use a commercially avail-
able distribution amplifier if con-
necting a signal cable longer than
the cable supplied.

IBM VGA or Compatibles (Notebook
type) or Macintosh (Notebook type)

NOTE: An image may not be displayed correctly when a Video or S-Video source is played back via a commercially available

scan converter.

This is because the projector will process a video signal as a computer signal at the default setting. In that case, do the follow-

ing.

• When an image is displayed with the lower and upper black portion of the screen or a dark image is not displayed correctly:

Project an image to fill the screen and then press the AUTO ADJ. button on the remote control or the projector cabinet.

• The COMPUTER IN connector supports Plug & Play (DDC2B).

NOTE: For older Macintosh, use a commercially available pin

adapter (not supplied) to connect to your Mac's video port.

Stereo mini-plug audio cable (not supplied)
