If any connection cable is not supplied with the device, or if no option\
al cable is available for connection of the  z
device, prepare a necessary system connection cable to suit the device.
Video signals containing too much jitter may cause the images on the screen to randomly wobble or wafture.   z
In this case, a time base corrector (TBC) must be connected.
The projector accepts the following signals: VIDEO, S-VIDEO, analogue-RGB (with TTL sync. Level) . z
Some computer models are not compatible with the projector. z
When using long cables to connect with each of equipment to the projector, there is a possibility that the image  z
