 Use  this  port  to  connect  your  PC  or  control  system 
to  control  your  projector  via  a  serial  cable.  This 
enables  you  to  control  the  projector  using  serial 
communication  protocol.  A  commercially  available 
RS232C  cross  cable  is  required  to  use  this  port. 
You can also control the projector by using PC Con-
trol  Utility  3.0  (downloadable  from  our  website:http:
www.nec-pj.com).  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 10.
