RGB/DIGITAL IN signals that can be input
The table below lists the different types of RGB/DIGITAL IN signals that can be input.
If a signal which differs greatly from any of the types listed below is input, the picture image may not be 
dis played correctly, or a black background may be displayed. At this time, “signal” will fl 
ash in the 
on-screen display for about 5 seconds.
Notes:
•   Input signals, other than those listed with a * mark, will give you a beautiful, stable picture.
•   The D-SUB15P connector can accept RGB (H-V sync separate) and RGB (sync on green). However, it is not guaranteed to 
display stable color when using RGB (sync on green).
•   When used with an external video processor/scaler, it must have RGB (H-V sync separate) output.
• A “♦” mark indicates signals that can be input with DIGITAL IN.
•   If your PC (with DIGITAL IN terminal) does not support Plug-and-Play (DDC1/2B) for displays, reconfi 
guration is required after 
the projection display is connected to the PC.
