Connections
Connecting the Projector to Other Equipment
Before connecting, ensure that the power cord of the projector is unplugged from the AC outlet 
and turn off the equipment to be connected. After making all connections, turn on the projector 
and then the other pieces of equipment. When connecting a computer, ensure that it is the last 
equipment to be turned on after all the connections are made.
IMPORTANT:
Ensure that the appropriate input mode has been selected on the projector before 
you turn on the connected equipment.
For more details of connection and cables, refer to the operation manual of the connecting equipment.You may need other cables or connectors not listed below.

See page 
64 “Compatibility Chart” for a list of computer signals compatible with the projector. Use 
with computer signals other than those listed may cause some of the functions to not work.
A Macintosh adaptor may be required for use with some Macintosh computers. Contact your nearest 
Macintosh Dealer.
Depending on the computer you are using, an image may not be projected unless the 
computer's external output por t is switched on (e.g. Press “Fn” and “F5” keys 
simultaneously when using a SHARP notebook computer).  Refer to the specifi c instructions in 
your computer's operation manual to enable your computer's external output port.

HDMI (High-Defi nition Multimedia Interface) is a digital AV interface that can deliver a high-defi nition 
video signal, multi-channel audio signal, and bi-directional control signal all in just one cable.
Because it is compatible with the HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) system, the 
digital video signal does not degrade when transmitted, and a high-quality image with a simple 
connection can be enjoyed.
The HDMI terminal does not support the CEC signal.
 When you connect video equipment with a 21-pin RGB output (Euro-scart) to the projector, use a 
commercially available cable that fi ts in the projector terminal you want to connect.
The projector does not support RGBC signals via the Euro-scart.

Controlling the Projector by a Computer
When the RS-232C terminal on the projector is connected to a computer with an RS-232C serial 
control cable (cross type, commercially available), the computer can be used to control the 
projector and check the status of the projector. See page 
59 for details.

Operation
Turning the Projector On/Off
Turning the Projector On
Note that the connections to external 
equipment and power outlet should be 
done before performing the operations 
written below. (See pages 
19 to 21.)
Press  STANDBY/ON  on the projector 
or  ON  on the remote control.
The power indicator illuminates green. 
After the lamp indicator illuminates, the projector 
is ready to start operation.
About the Lamp Indicator
The lamp indicator illuminates to indicate the 
status of the lamp.
Green:  The lamp is on.
Blinking in green:  The lamp is warming up.Red:  The lamp is shut down 
abnormally or the lamp should be 
replaced.
When switching on the projector, a slight 
fl ickering of the image may be experienced 
within the fi rst minute after the lamp has been 
illuminated. This is normal operation as the 
lamp's control circuitry is stabilising the lamp 
output characteristics. It should not be 
regarded as faulty operation.
If the projector is put into Standby mode and 
immediately turned on again, the lamp may 
take some time to start projection.
When System Lock is set, the keycode input 
box appears. To cancel the keycode setting, 
input the keycode that you have already set.

Correcting Trapezoidal 
Distortion
When the image is projected either from 
the top or from the bottom towards the 
screen at an angle, the image becomes 
distorted trapezoidally. The function for 
correcting trapezoidal distortion is called 
Keystone Correction.
The Keystone Correction can be adjusted up to 
an angle of approximately ±40 (PG-L X2000)/
±20 (PG-LS2000) degrees and the screen can 
also be set up to an angle of approximately 
±40 (PG-L X2000)/±20 (PG-LS2000) degrees 
(When the Resize mode is set to “NORMAL” 
(see page 
28)).
