NEC Lt100 Projector Users Manual

							     WARNING
¥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 41ûF (5ûC) and 95ûF (35ûC).
¥ 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 bottom or the side
of the projector.
Ceiling Installation
Installing your MultiSync LT100 Projector on the ceiling must be done
by a qualified technician. Contact your NEC dealer for more informa-
tion.
Do not attempt to install the projector yourself.
NOTE : Distances may vary ±5%.

							Connecting Your PC Or Macintosh Computer
Connecting your PC or Macintosh computer to your MultiSync LT100 (XGA) Projector will enable you to project your computers screen image
for an impressive presentation. All of these following display standards are supported:
To connect to a PC, Macintosh or computer equipped with an XGA/SVGA/VGA adapter or compatible graphics adapter, simply:
1. Turn off the power to your projector and computer.
2.
If your PC does not support XGA/SVGA/VGA you will need to install an XGA/SVGA/VGA graphics board. Consult your computers owners
manual for your XGA/SVGA/VGA configuration. If you need to install a new board, see the manual that comes with your new graphics board for
installation instructions.
3. Use the signal cable thats supplied to connect your PC or Macintosh computer to the projector. For Macintosh, use the supplied pin adapter to
connect to your computers video port.
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.

INSTALLATION44 When using a Macintosh with the LT100, set the DIP switch of the supplied pin adapter according to your resolution. After setting, restart your
Macintosh.
See the following pages for setting of the DIP switch.
¥ When using with a Macintosh, XGA (10242768) is recommended if your Macintosh supports this mode.
¥
When using with a Macintosh PowerBook, output may not be set to 8002600 unless ÒmirroringÓ is off on your PowerBook. Refer to ownerÕs manual
supplied with your Macintosh computer for mirroring.
NOTE: A Video Adapter cable manufactured by Apple Computer is needed for a PowerBook which does not have a mini D-Sub 15-pin connector.

NOTE: The following explains conditions that you will encoun-
ter when operating your LT100 while displaying an SXGA
(128021024) image.
When a menu or message is displayed while an SXGA image is
projected, several lines of information will be lost.
When the LAMP USAGE 1000 HOURS message appears, sev-
eral lines of information will be lost.
The LAMP USAGE 1000 HOURS message will not appear
when the freeze button is activated.
SXGA images inherently display a 5 to 4 ratio, resulting in an
image that appears to be smaller and more square than the 4 to
3 format commonly displayed.
