 Use  this  port  to  connect  your  PC  or  control  system 
to  control  your  projector  via  a  ser ial  cable.  This 
enables  you  to  control  the  projector  using  ser ial 
communication  protocol.  A  commercially  available 
RS232C cross cable is required to use this port. You 
can  also  control  the  projector  by  using  PC  Control 
Utility  3.0  contained  on  the  supplied  User  Support-
ware  5  CD-ROM.  To  do  so  you  must  first  have  PC 
Control  Utility  3.0  installed  on  your  PC.  If  you  are 
writing  your  own  program,  typical  PC  control  codes 
are on page 146.

1. Introduction
Battery Installation
P r e s s  t h e  c a t c h  a n d  r e-
move the battery cover.
Install  new  ones  (AA).  Ensure 
that  you  have  the  batteries’  po-
larity (+/–) aligned correctly.
3Slip the cover back over the bat-
teries until it snaps into place.
NOTE:  Do  not  mix  different  types  of 
batteries or new and old batteries.
NOTE: Actual operating range may differ slightly from that shown in the \
drawing.
TIP: You can determine which remote sensor on the projector is enabled in wireless mode. The options are: front, rear or both. (→ 
page 114)
•  The infrared signal operates by line-of-sight up to a distance of about 22 feet/7 m and within a 60-degree angle 
of the remote sensor on the projector cabinet.
•  The  projector  will  not  respond  if  there  are  objects  between  the  remote  control  and  the  sensor,  or  if  strong  light 
falls on the sensor.
  Weak batteries will also prevent the remote control from properly operating the projector.
Remote Control Precautions
• Handle the remote control carefully.
•  If the remote control gets wet, wipe it dry immediately.
•  Avoid excessive heat and humidity.
•  Do not heat, take apart, or throw batteries into fire.
•  If you will not be using the remote control for a long time, remove the batteries.
•  Ensure that you have the batteries’ polarity (+/–) aligned correctly.
•  Do not use new and old batteries together, or use different types of batteries together.
•  Dispose of used batteries according to your local regulations.

 Setting Up the Screen and the Projector
Selecting a Location [NP3150/NP2150/NP1150]
The  further  your  projector  is  from  the  screen  or  wall,  the  larger  the  image. The  minimum  size  the  image  can  be  is 
approximately  30  inches  (0.76  m)  measured  diagonally  when  the  projector  is  roughly  41  inches  (1.0  m)  from  the 
wall or screen. The largest the image can be is 500 inches (12.7 m) when the projector\
 is about 718 inches (18.2 m) 
from the wall or screen. Use the drawing below as a guide.

2. Installation and Connections
 Making Connections
Connecting Your PC or Macintosh Computer
NOTE: When using with a notebook PC, be sure to connect the projector and notebook PC while the projector is in standby mode 
and before turning on the power to the notebook PC.
In most cases the output signal from the notebook PC is not turned on un\
less connected to the projector before being powered up.
* If the screen goes blank while using your remote control, it may be the result of the computer’s screen-saver or power manage-
ment software.
Enabling the computer’s external display
Displaying an image on the notebook PC’s screen does not necessarily mean it outputs a signal to the projector.
When using a PC compatible laptop, a combination of function keys will enable/disable the external display.
Usually, the combination of the ‘Fn” key along with one of the 12 function keys gets the external display to come on 
or  off.  For  example,  NEC  laptops  use  Fn  +  F3,  while  Dell  laptops  use  Fn  +  F8  key  combinations  to  toggle  through 
external display selections.
iBM V ga or Compatibles (notebook 
type) or Macintosh (notebook type)
NOTE:  The  NP3150/NP2150/NP1150/NP3151W  is  not  compatible  with  video  decoded  outputs  of  either  the  NEC  ISS-6020  and 
ISS-6010 switchers.
NOTE: An image may not be displayed correctly when a Video or S-Video source is played back via a commercially available scan converter. 
This is because the projector will process a video signal as a computer \
signal at the default setting. In that case, do the following.
*  When an image is displayed with the lower and upper black portion of the\
 screen or a dark image is not displayed correctly:
  Project an image to fill the screen and then press the AUTO ADJ button on the remote control or the AUTO ADJUST button on 
the projector cabinet.
*  When noise appears on the sides of the screen:
  Use the Overscan feature to display the image correctly.
Be  sure  to  change  the  Overscan  to  0%  before  pressing  the  AUTO  ADJ  or  AUTO  ADJUST  button,  otherwise  an  image  may  be 
displayed with its sides cut off.
NOTE:  For  older  Macintosh,  use  a  commercially 
available  pin  adapter  (not  supplied)  to  connect  to 
your Mac’s video port.
•  First turn off the computer and the projector before making connections.
•  Turn  down  the  volume  on  the  computer  before  connecting  an  audio  cable  to  the  headphone  jack  of  the  com
-
puter.  After  connecting  the  computer  to  the  projector,  you  can  adjust  the  sound  level  on  the  computer  and  the 
projector to your preference.
•  You are recommended to connect an audio cable to an audio out connector (mini jack type) if any.

2. Installation and Connections
When Viewing a DVI Digital Signal
To project a DVI digital signal, be sure to connect the PC and the projector using a D\
VI-D signal cable (not supplied) 
before  turning  on  your  PC  or  projector. Turn  on  the  projector  first  and  select  COMPUTER  3  from  the  source  menu 
before turning on your PC.
Failure  to  do  so  may  not  activate  the  digital  output  of  the  graphics  card  resulting  in  no  picture  being  displayed. 
Should this happen, restart your PC.
Do  not  disconnect  the  DVI-D  signal  cable  while  the  projector  is  running.  If  the  signal  cable  has  been  disconnected 
and then re-connected, an image may not be correctly displayed. Should this happen, restart your PC.
NOTE: 
• Use  a  DVI-D  cable  compliant  with  DDWG  (Digital  Display  Working  Group)  DVI  (Digital  Visual  Interface)  revision  1.0  standard. 
The DVI-D cable should be within 10 m (394") long.
•  The DVI (DIGITAL) connector (COMPUTER 3 (DVI-D) IN) accepts VGA (640x480), SVGA (800x600), 1152x864, XGA (1024x768), 
SXGA (1280x1024 @ up to 60Hz) and SXGA+ (1400x1050 @ up to 60Hz).

What is hDCp/hDCp technology?
HDCP  is  an  acronym  for  High-bandwidth  Digital  Content  Protection.  High  bandwidth  Digital  Content  Protection 
(HDCP) is a system for preventing illegal copying of video data sent over a Digital Visual Interface (DVI).
If you are unable to view material via the DVI input, this does not necessarily mean the projector is not functioning 
properly.  With  the  implementation  of  HDCP,  there  may  be  cases  in  which  certain  content  is  protected  with  HDCP 
and might not be displayed due to the decision/intention of the HDCP community (Digital Content Protection, LLC).

2. Installation and Connections
Connecting an External Monitor
You can connect a separate, external monitor to your projector to simultaneously view on a monitor the RGB analog 
or component image you’re projecting.
NOTE:
• Daisy chain connection is not possible.
•  The MONITOR OUT connector will output no video signal (Digital signal)\
 from the COMPUTER 3 (DVI-D) IN connector.
•  When audio equipment is connected, the projector speaker is disabled.
•  When [NORMAL] is selected from [STANDBY MODE], the MONITOR OUT connector outputs the last displayed video signal and 
the AUDIO OUT jack outputs the last audio signal. The sound level remain\
s the same as the last one.
•  Selecting  [POWER-SAVING]  in  [STANDBY  MODE]  stops  outputting  a  video  signal  from  the  MONITOR  OUT  connector  during 
standby mode. This causes the AUDIO OUT jack to stop outputting sound.
