2. Installation and Connections
WARNING
*Installing your projector on the ceiling must be done
by a qualified technician. Contact your dealer for more
information.
*Do not attempt to install the projector yourself.
•Only use your projector on a solid, level surface. If the
projector falls to the ground, you can be injured and
the projector severely damaged.
•Do not use the projector where temperatures vary
greatly. The projector must be used at temperatures
between 41˚F (5˚C) and 95˚F (35˚C).
•Do not expose the projector to moisture, dust, or
smoke. This will harm the screen image.•Ensure that you have adequate ventilation around your
projector so heat can dissipate. Do not cover the vents
on the side or the front of the projector.
Reflecting the Image
Using a mirror to reflect your projectors image enables
you to enjoy a much larger image. Contact your dealer if
you need a mirror system. If youre using a mirror sys-
tem and your image is inverted, use the MENU and
SELECT 
 buttons on your projector cabinet or
your remote control to correct the orientation. See page
40.

2. Installation and Connections
 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 computers screen-saver or power
management software.

Connecting your PC or Macintosh computer to your projector will enable you to project your computers screen image
for an impressive presentation.
To connect to a PC or Macintosh, simply:
1. Turn off the power to your projector and computer.
2. Use the supplied VGA cable to connect your PC or Macintosh to the projector.
3. Connect the supplied power cord. See page 19.
4. Turn on the projector and the computer.
5. If the projector goes blank after a period of inactivity, it may be caused by a screen saver installed on the computer
youve connected to the projector.
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.
