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.	button	on	the	remote	control	or	the	projector	cabinet.
NOTE:	When	Viewing	a	DVI	Digital	Signal
•	 Use	a	DVI-to-HDMI	 cable	compliant	 with	DDWG	 (Digital	 Display	 Working	 Group)	DVI	(Digital	 Visual	Interface)	 revision	1.0	stan-
dard.	The	cable	should	be	within	197"/5	m	long.
•	 Turn	off	the	projector	and	the	PC	before	connecting	the	DVI-to-HDMI	cable.
•	 To	project	a	DVI	digital	signal:	Connect	the	cables,	turn	the	projector	on,	then	select	the	HDMI	input.	Finally,	turn	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.
•	 Some	 graphics	 cards	have	both	analog	 RGB	(15-pin	 D-Sub)	and	DVI	 (or	DFP)	 outputs.	 Use	of	the	 15-pin	 D-Sub	connector	 may	
result	in	no	picture	being	displayed	from	the	digital	output	of	the	graphics	card.
•	 Do	not	disconnect	 the	DVI-to-HDMI	 cable	while	 the	projector	 is	running.	 If	the	 signal	 cable	has	been	 disconnected	 and	then	
reconnected,	an	image	may	not	be	correctly	displayed.	Should	this	happen,	restart	your	PC. 	
NOTE:	
When	[VIEWER],	 [NETWORK],	 or	[USB	 DISPLAY]	 is	selected	 for	[SOURCE],	 sound	from	the	COMPUTER	 2	AUDIO	 IN	mini	
jack	will	be	output	through	the	speaker.
