Setting up
Connecting your devices
CAUTION ►Turn off all devices prior to connecting them to the projector.
Attempting to connect a live device to the projector may generate extremely
loud noises or other abnormalities that may result in malfunction and/or damage
to the device and/or projector.
►Use the accessory cable or a designated-type cable for the connection.
Some cables have to be used with core set. A too long cable may cause a
certain picture degradation. Please consult with your dealer for details. For
cables that have a core only at one end, connect the core to the projector.
►Make sure that you connect devices to the correct port. Incorrect connection
may result in malfunction and/or damage to the device and/or projector.
NOTE • Whenever attempting to connect a laptop computer to the projector, be sure
to activate the laptop’s RGB external image output (set the laptop to CRT display or to
simultaneous LCD and CRT display). For details on how this is done, please refer to the
instruction manual of the corresponding laptop computer.
• Secure the screws on the connectors and tighten.
• Some computers may have multiple display screen modes. Use of some of these
modes will not be possible with this projector.
• For some RGB signal modes, the optional Mac adapter is necessary.
• When the image resolution is changed on a computer, depending on an input,
automatic adjust function may take some time and may not be completed. In this case,
you may not be able to see a check box to select “Yes/No” for the new resolution on
Windows. Then the resolution will go back to the original. It might be recommended to
use other CRT or LCD monitors to change the resolution.
About Plug-and-Play capability
Plug-and-Play is a system composed of the computer, its operating system and
peripheral equipment (i.e. display devices). This projector is compatible with VESA DDC
2B. Plug-and-Play can be achieved by connecting this projector to computers that are
VESA DDC (display data channel) compatible.
• Please take advantage of this function by connecting the accessory RGB cable to the
RGB IN1 port (DDC 2B compatible) and/or the optional DVI cable to the DVI-D port (DDC
2B compatible). Plug-and-Play may not work properly if any other type of connection is
attempted.
• Please use the standard drivers in your computer as this projector is a Plug-and-Play
monitor.
• The CP-X445's DVI is compatible with HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content
Protection) and therefore capable of displaying video from HDCP compatible DVD
players, et al. However, if the HDCP standards are modified, the CP-X445's DVI might
not be able to display video from HDCP compatible device developed in conformance to
such modified HDCP standards.
