The  further  your  projector  is  from  the  screen  or  wall,  the  larger  the  image. The  minimum  size  the  image  can  be  is 
approximately  21"  (0.53  m)  measured  diagonally  when  the  projector  is  roughly  28  inches  (0.7  m)  from  the  wall  or 
screen. The largest the image can be is 300" (7.6 m) when the projector is about 384 inches (9.7 m) from the wall or 
screen.

WARNING
* Installing your projector on the ceiling must be done 
by a qualified technician. Contact your NEC dealer for 
more information.
*  Do not attempt to install the projector yourself.
•  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 41˚F (5˚C) and 104˚F (40˚C) (Eco mode se-
lected automatically at 95˚F to 104˚F/35˚C to 40˚C).
•  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 side or the front of the projector.
Reflectng the Image
Using a mirror to reflect your projector’s image enables 
you to enjoy a much larger image when a smaller space 
is required. Contact your NEC dealer if you need a mirror 
system. If you’re using a mirror system and your image 
is inverted, use the MENU and SELECT buttons on your 
projector  cabinet  or  your  remote  control  to  correct  the 
orientation. (→ page 66)

2. Installation and Connections
 Making Connections
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 unless 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.

NOTE: The projector is not compatible with video decoded outputs of the \
NEC ISS-6020 switcher.
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. butto\

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 DVI cable (not supplied) before 
turning on your PC or projector. Turn on the projector first and select Computer 2 (Digital) 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 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 cable or the one compliant with the DDWG (Digital Display Working Group) DVI (Digital Visual Interface) revision 1.0 
standard. The DVI cable should be within 5 m (196") long. Both single \
and dual types of DVI cable can be used.
•  The DVI (DIGITAL) connector accepts VGA (640x480), SVGA (800x600), 1152x864, XGA (1024x768), WXGA (1280x800 @ up 
to 60Hz), and SXGA (1280x1024 @ up to 60Hz).

If you need to use two analog COMPUTER inputs simultaneously, connect a VGA signal cable as shown below. 
						

							

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  computer 
analog image you’re projecting.
NOTE:
• Daisy chain connection is not possible.
•  When audio equipment is connected, the projector speaker is disabled.
