Computer System Selection
This projector automatically tunes to various types of computers based on VGA, SVGA, XGA, SXGA, SXGA+, 
WXGA, or UXGA (refer to “Compatible Computer Specifications” on pages 70–71). If a com\
puter is selected 
as a signal source, this projector automatically detects the signal format and tunes to project a proper image 
without any additional settings. (Some computers need to be set manually.) 
One of the following messages may appear when:
The projector cannot recognize the connected 
signal conforming to the provided PC Systems. 
The “Auto” is displayed on the PC System Menu 
icon and the Auto PC Adjustment function works to 
display proper images. If the image is not projected 
properly, a manual adjustment is required. (pp. 
36–37.)
There is no signal input from the computer. Check 
the connection between your computer and the 
projector. (See “Troubleshooting” on page 64.)
