Setting up 44 - ENGLISH Getting Started Adjusting adjustable feet Install the projector on a flat surface so that the front of the projector is parallel to the screen surface and the projection screen is rectangular. If the screen is tilted downward, the projection screen can be adjusted to be rectangular by adjusting the adjustable feet. The adjustable feet can also be used to adjust the projector to be level when it is tilted in a horizontal direction. Extend the adjustable feet by rotating in the direction shown in the figure and retract by rotating in the opposite direction. Adjustable range Front adjustable f\meet: 12 mm \f15/32\b) Rear adjustable fe\met: 12 mm \f15/32\b) Attention zHot air is expelled from the air exhaust port. Do not touch the air exhaust port directly when adjusting the adjustable feet. ( page 26)

Connecting 46 - ENGLISH Getting Started Before connecting zBefore connecting, carefully read the operating instructions for the external device to be connected. zT urn off the power of all devices before connecting cables. z Acquire any connection cable necessary to connect the external device to the system that is either not supplied with the device or not available as an option. z V ideo signals containing too much jitter may cause the images on the screen to randomly wobble or wafture. In this case, a time base corrector (TBC) must be connected. z The projector accepts video signals (including Y/C signals), analog RGB signals (synchronous signals are TTL level), and digital signals. z Some computer models are not compatible with the projector . zUse a cable compensator when you connect devices to the projector using long cables. Otherwise the image may not display properly . zRefer to “List of compatible signals” ( page 174) for the types of video signals that can be used with the projector . ▶■ terminal pin assignments and signal names Outside view Pin No. Signal name (4) and (9) are not used.
