Hitachi Cp-X600 Projector Users Manual

							


Setting up
NOTE  • 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 t\
his 
product. Before connecting to a PC, check the signal level, the signal t\
iming, and the 
resolution.
-  Some signal may need an adapter to input this projector.
-   Some PCs have multiple screen display modes that may include some signal\
s which 
are not supported by this projector. 
-    Although the projector can display signals with resolution up to UXGA (600X00), 
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 man\
ual of the 
corresponding laptop PC.
• When the picture resolution is changed on a computer depending on a\
n input, 
automatic adjustment function may take some time and may not be complete\
d. 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 recommende\
d 
to use other CRT or LCD monitors to change the resolution.
• In some cases, this projector may not display a proper picture or d\
isplay any picture on 
screen. For example, automatic adjustment may not function correctly wit\
h some input 
signals. An input signal of composite sync or sync on G may confuse this projecto\
r, so 
the projector may not display a proper picture.
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 B 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 RGB port (DDC 
B 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.

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  (0  degrees  to  the  left  and  right  of  the 
sensor) within 3 meters about.
Remote control
NOTE  • 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  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.
