 Using the Computer Cable (VGA) to Operate the Projector 
(Virtual Remote Tool)
Using	the	utility 	software 	“Virtual 	Remote 	Tool” 	included 	on 	the 	companion 	NEC 	Projector 	CD-ROM, 	Virtual 	Remote 	
screen	(or	toolbar)	can	be	displayed	on	your	computer	screen.
This	will	help 	you 	perform 	operations 	such 	as 	projector’s 	power 	on 	or 	off 	and 	signal 	selection 	via 	the 	computer 	cable 	
(VGA),	serial	cable,	or	USB	connection.
Virtual	Remote	screenToolbar
This	section	provides	an	outline	of	preparation	for	use	of	Virtual	Remote	Tool.
For	information	on	how	to	use	Virtual	Remote	Tool,	see	Help	of	Virtual	Remote	Tool.	(→	page	38)
Step	1:	Install	Virtual	Remote	Tool	on	the	computer.	(→	page	34)
Step	2:	Connect	the	projector	to	the	computer.	(→	page	36)
Step	3:	Start	Virtual	Remote	Tool.	(→	page	37)
NOTE:
•	 When	[COMPUTER 	] 	is 	selected 	from 	your 	source 	selection, 	the 	Virtual 	Remote 	screen 	or 	the 	toolbar 	will 	be 	displayed 	as 	well 	as

the	computer	to	use	Virtual	Remote	Tool.
	 Using	a	switcher	or	other	cables	than	the	supplied	computer	cable	(VGA)	may	cause	failure	in	signal	communication.
	 VGA	cable	connector:
	 Pin	Nos.	12	and	15	are	required	for	DDC/CI.
•	 Virtual	Remote	Tool	may	not	work	depending	on	your	computer’s	specifications	and	version	of	graphic	adapters	or	drivers.
•	 The	LOGO	transfer	function	is	not	available	on	this	series	of	projectors.	
TIP:
•	 The	projector’s	COMPUTER 	IN 	connector 	supports 	DDC/CI 	(Display 	Data 	Channel 	Command 	Interface). 	DDC/CI 	is 	a 	standard 	
interface	for	bidirectional	communication	between	display/projector	and	computer.
•	 Virtual	Remote	Tool	can	be	used	with	a	USB	connection.
	 Virtual	Remote	Tool	will	support	the	control	via	a	USB	cable	in	October	2012.

 Viewing 3D Images
The	projector	provides	3D	images	to	a	user	wearing	optional	LCD	shutter	eyeglasses	(NP02GL)
 CAUTION
Health precautions
Before	viewing,	be 	sure 	to 	read 	health 	care 	precautions 	that 	may 	be 	found 	in 	the 	user’s 	manual 	included 	with 	your	
LCD	shutter	eyeglasses 	or 	your 	3D 	compatible 	content 	such 	as 	DVDs, 	video 	games, 	computer's 	video 	files 	and	
the	like.
To	avoid	any	adverse	symptoms,	heed	the	following:
-	 Do	not	use	LCD	shutter	eyeglasses	for	viewing	any	material	other	than	3D	images.
-	 Allow	a	distance 	of 	2 	m/7 	feet 	or 	greater 	between 	the 	screen 	and 	a 	user. 	Viewing 	3D 	images 	from 	too 	close 	a 	
distance	can	strain	your	eyes.
-	 Avoid	viewing 	3D 	images 	for 	a 	prolonged 	period 	of 	time. 	Take 	a 	break 	of 	15 	minutes 	or 	longer 	after 	every 	hour 	
of	viewing.
-	 If	you	or 	any 	member 	of 	your 	family 	has 	a 	history 	of 	light-sensitive 	seizures, 	consult 	a 	doctor 	before 	viewing 	3D 	
images.
-	 While	viewing 	3D 	images, 	if 	you 	get 	sick 	such 	as 	nausea, 	dizziness, 	queasiness, 	headache, 	eyestrain, 	blurry 	
vision,	convulsions,	and	numbness,	stop	viewing	them.	If	symptoms	still	persist,	consult	a	doctor.	
-	 View	3D	images	from	the	front	of	the	screen.	Viewing	from	an	angle	may	cause	fatigue	or	eyestrain.

This	function	switches	the	3D	mode	between	ON	and	OFF	for	each	input.
NOTE:
To	confirm	that	the	supported	3D	signal	is	accepted,	use	either	way	of	the	following:
-	 Make	sure	that	[3D]	is	displayed	in	the	top	right	of	the	screen	after	the	source	is	selected.
-	 Display	[INFO.]	→	[SOURCE	(2)]	→	[3D	SIGNAL]	and	make	sure	that	"SUPPORTED"	is	displayed.

•	 If	3D	content 	is 	played 	back 	on 	your 	computer 	and 	the 	performance 	is 	poor 	it 	may 	be 	caused 	by 	the 	CPU 	or 	graphics 	chip. 	In 	this 	
case	you	may 	have 	difficulty 	seeing 	the 	3D 	images 	as 	they 	were 	intended. 	Check 	to 	see 	if 	your 	computer 	meets 	the 	requirements 	
provided	in	your	user's	manual	included	with	your	3D	content.
•	 The	DLP®	Link	compatible 	LCD 	shutter 	eyeglasses 	allow 	you 	to 	view 	3D 	images 	by 	receiving 	synch 	signals, 	which 	are 	included 	in 	
left	eye	and 	right 	eye 	images, 	reflected 	from 	the 	screen. 	Depending 	on 	environments 	or 	conditions 	such 	as 	the 	ambient 	brightness,	
screen	size	or	viewing	distance,	the	LCD	shutter	eyeglasses	may	fail	to	receive	synch	signals,	causing	poor	3D	images.
•	 When	the	3D	mode	is	enabled,	the	Keystone	correction	range	will	be	narrower.
•	 When	the	3D	mode	is	enabled,	the	following	settings	are	invalid.
	 [WALL	COLOR],	[PRESET]
•	 Refer	to	the	[SOURCE]	screen	under	the	[INFO.]	menu	for	information	on	whether	the	input	signal	is	3D	compatible.
•	 Signals	other	than	those	listed	in	"Compatible	Input	Signal	List"	on	page	74	will	be	out	of	range	or	will	be	displayed	in	2D.
