Connecting the Projector
When you connect the projector, make sure to:
• Turn off all equipment before making any connections.
• Use the proper cables for each connection.
• Insert the cable plugs firmly; loose connections may increase noise and
reduce performance of picture signals. When pulling out a cable, be sure to
pull it out from the plug, not the cable itself
To connect the projector, refer to the illustrations on the next and the
following pages.
This section describes how to connect the projector to a computer.
For more information, refer to the computer’s instruction manual.
• The projector accepts VGA, SVGA, XGA, SXGA (VPL-CX6/EX1 only) and
SXGA+ (VPL-CX6/EX1 only) signals. However, we recommend that you set the
output mode of your computer to XGA mode (VPL-CX6/EX1) or SVGA mode
(VPL-CS6) for the external monitor.
• If you set your computer, such as a notebook type, to output the signal to both your
computer’s display and the external monitor, the picture of the external monitor may
not appear properly. Set your computer to output the signal to only the external
monitor.
For details, refer to the computer’s operating instructions supplied with your
computer.
