Setting up
Connecting your devices (continued)
• Be sure to read the manuals for devices before connecting them to the projector, and make sure that all the devices are suitable to be connected with this product. Before connecting to a PC, check the signal level, the signal timing, and the  resolution.-  Be sure to consult to the administrator of the network. Do not connect LAN port to any network that might have the excessive voltage.- Some signal may need an adapter to input this projector.
- 
 Some PCs have multiple screen display modes that may include some signals which 
are not supported by this projector.
- 
 Although the projector can display signals with resolution up to UXGA  (1600X1200), the signal will be converted to the projector’s panel resolution before being displayed. The best display performance will be achieved if the resolutions of the input signal and the projector panel  are identical.• While connecting, make sure that the shape of the cable's connector fits the port to connect with. And be sure to tighten the screws on connectors with screws.• When connecting a laptop PC to the projector, be sure to activate the PC’s external RGB output. (Set the laptop PC 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 PC.• When the picture 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.• In some cases, this projector may not display a proper picture or display any picture on screen. For example, automatic adjustment may not function correctly with some input signals. An input signal of composite sync or sync on G may confuse this projector, so the projector may not display a proper picture.• The HDMI port of this model is compatible with HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) 
and therefore capable of displaying a video signal from HDCP compatible DVD players or the like.
NOTE
About Plug-and-Play capability
Plug-and-Play is a system composed of a computer, its operating system and peripheral equipment (i.e. display devices). This projector is VESA DDC 2B compatible. Plug-and-Play can be used by connecting this projector to a computer that is VESA DDC (display data channel) compatible.• Take advantage of this feature by connecting an RGB cable to the RGB1 port (DDC 2B compatible). Plug-and-Play may not work properly if any other type of connection is attempted.• Please use the standard drivers in your computer as this projector is a Plug-and-Play monitor.
NOTE for HDMI
• The HDMI supports the following signals.  -Video signal : 525i(480i),525p(480p),625i(576i),750p(720p),1125i(1080i),1125p(1080p)  -PC signals : See User’s Manual (detailed) Technical
  -Audio signal : 
 Format    Linear PCM Sampling Frequency   48kHz / 44.1kHz / 32kHz• This projector can be connected with another equipment that has HDMI or DVI connector, but with some equipment the projector may not work properly, something like no video or no audio.•  Be sure to use an HDMI cable that has the HDMI logo.• When the projector is connected with a device having DVI connector , use a DVI to HDMI cable to connect with the HDMI input and an audio cable to connect with one o f the Audio input. 
						

							


Setting up
Connecting power supply
1.Connect the connector of the power cord to the AC inlet of the projector.
2.Firmly plug the power cord's plug into the outlet. 
►Please use extra caution when connecting the power cord, as 
incorrect or faulty connections may result in fire and/or electrical shock.
• Only use the power cord that came with the projector. If it is damaged, contact 
your dealer to newly get correct one.
• Only plug the power cord into an outlet whose voltage is matched to the power 
cord. The power outlet should be close to the projector and easily accessible.

works and the LASER INDICATOR lights while the LASER button is pressed.
►The laser pointer of the remote control is used in place of 
a finger or rod. Never look directly into the laser beam outlet or point the laser 
beam at other people. The laser beam can cause vision problems.
WARNING
►Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures 
other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
CAUTION
Putting batteries
Please load the batteries before using the remote control. If the remote control starts to 
malfunction, replace the batteries. If you will not use the remote control for an extended 
period, remove the batteries from the remote control and store them in a safe place.
1.Slide back and remove the 
battery cover in the direction 
of the arrow.
2.Align and insert the two AA batteries 
(HITACHI MAXELL, Part No.LR6 
or R6P) according to their plus and minus terminals as indicated in the remote  control.
3.Replace the battery cover in the direction of the arrow and snap it back into place.
►Always handle the batteries with care and use them only as 
directed. Improper use may result in battery explosion, cracking or leakage, 
which could result in fire, injury and/or pollution of the surrounding environment.
• Be sure to use only the batteries specified. Do not use batteries of different 
types at the same time. Do not mix a new battery with used one.
• Make sure the plus and minus terminals are correctly aligned when loading a batter y.
• Keep a battery away from children and pets.
• Do not recharge, short circuit, solder or disassemble a battery.
• Do not allow a battery in a fire or water. Keep batteries in a dark, cool and dry place.

About the remote control signal
The remote control works with the projector’s remote sensors. This projector has 
three remote sensors on the front, on the top, and on the back.
The sensors can be respectively turned active or inactive using the “REMOTE 
RECEIV.” in the SERVICE item of OPTION menu (46). Each sensor senses the 
signal within the following range when the sensor is active.
The front and top sensors:
60 degrees (30 degrees to the left and right of the 
sensor) within 3 meters about.
The back sensor:
40 degrees (20 degrees to the left and right of the 
sensor) within 3 meters about.
• The remote control signal reflected in 
the screen or the like may be available. If it is 
difficult to send the signal to the sensor directly, 
attempt to make the signal reflect.
• The remote control uses infrared light to send 
signals to the projector (Class 1 LED), so be 
sure to use the remote control in an area free 
from obstacles that could block the remote 
control’s signal to the projector.
• The remote control may not work correctly if 
strong light (such as direct sun light) or light 
from an extremely close range (such as from 
an inverter fluorescent lamp) shines on the 
remote sensor of the projector. Adjust the 
position of projector avoiding those lights.
NOTE
Changing the frequency of  remote control signal
The accessory remote control has the choice of 
the mode 1 or the mode 2, in the frequency of 
its signal. If the remote control does not function 
properly, attempt to change the signal frequency.
Please remember that the “REMOTE FREQ.” in 
SERVICE item of OPTION menu (46) of the 
projector to be controlled should be set to the 
same mode as the remote control.
To set the mode of the remote control, slide the 
knob of the frequency switch inside the battery 
cover into the position indicated by the mode 
number to choose.

Remote control
Using as a wired remote control
The accessory remote control works as a wired remote control, 
when the wired control port at the bottom of the remote control 
connects with the REMOTE CONTROL port on the back of the 
projector via an audio cable with 3.5 diameter stereo mini plugs.
When the remote control signal is hard to reach surely to 
the projector in the environment, this function is effective.
• To connect the remote control with the projector, use an audio cable 
with 3.5 diameter stereo mini plugs.
NOTE
Using as a simple PC mouse & keyboard
The accessory remote control works as a simple mouse and 
keyboard of the PC, when the projector’s USB port(B type) 
connect with the PC’s USB port(A type) via a USB cable.
