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 adjustment 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.

Using the remote control

CAUTION
  
►
Be careful in handling the remote control.

• Do not drop or expose the remote control to physical impact.

• Do not get the remote control wet or place it on wet objects. It may result in 

malfunction.

• Remove the batteries from the remote control and store them in a safe place if 

you won’t be using the remote control for an extended period. 

• Replace the batteries whenever the remote control starts malfunctioning. 

• When strong lights (such as direct sunlight) or light from an extremely close 

range (such as from an inverter fl uorescent lamp), hit the projector’s remote 

sensor, the remote control may cause to function. Adjust the direction of the 

projector to keep the light from directly hitting the projector’s remote sensor.

The remote control works with the projector’s remote sensor.

• The range of the remote sensor is 3 meters with a 60 degree range (30 degrees 

to the left and right of the remote sensor).

• Also  a  remote  signal  refl ected  in  the  screen  etc.  may  be  available.  If  it  is  diffi cult 

to send a remote signal to the sensor directly, please try to use the refl ected signal.

•  Since  the  remote  control  uses  infrared  light  to  send  signals  to  the  projector 

(Class1  LED),  be  sure  to  use  the  remote  control  in  an  area  free  from  obstacles 

that could block the remote control’s output signal to the projector.
