ᕢ Making Connections
NOTE: When using with a notebook PC, be sure to connect between the projector and the notebook PC before turning on the
power to the notebook PC. In most cases signal cannot be output from RGB output unless the notebook PC is turned on after
connecting with the projector.
* If the screen goes blank while using your remote control, it may be the result of the computer's screen-saver or power
management software.

Connecting Your PC or Macintosh Computer
NOTE: The COMPUTER 1 connector supports Plug & Play (DDC2).
VGA 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 supplied one.
Audio cable
(not supplied)
IBM PC or Compatibles (Desktop type)
or Macintosh (Desktop type)
NOTE: For older Macintosh, use a
commercially available pin adapter
(not supplied) to connect to your
Mac's video port.
IBM VGA or Compatibles (Notebook
type) or Macintosh (Notebook type)
NOTE: Use an audio cable without a built-in resistor. Using an audio cable with a built-in resistor turns down the sound.
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 more details, refer to your computer’s owner’s manual.
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 following.
* 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 PC button on the remote control or the projector cabinet.
