Using the Soft Carrying Pouch
Use the soft carrying pouch to prevent damage to your projector and its lens when transporting.
CAUTION
• Do not lift or carry the projector by the lens or the lens cap as this may damage
the lens.
• Besides the projector, do not put anything else into the soft carrying pouch.
• Be sure that the projector has cooled properly before placing the unit into its soft
carrying pouch.
• Use the soft carrying pouch only when storing or carrying the projector.
• Do not leave the projector exposed to direct sunlight, locked up in a car without
proper ventilation, or near equipment that radiates heat.
Lens cap installation
Install as shown in image on the right.
When removing the lens cap, pull off
by pressing the two convex areas.

PC control
A computer can be used to control the projector by connecting an RS-232C cable (null modem, cross type, sold
separately) to the projector. (See page 17 for connection.)
Communication conditions
Set the serial port settings of the computer to match that of the table.
Signal format: Conforms to RS-232C standard.
Baud rate: 9,600 bps
Data length: 8 bits
Parity bit: NON
Stop bit: 1 bit
Flow control: None
Basic format
Commands from the computer are sent in the following order: command, parameter, and return code. After the
projector processes the command from the computer, it sends a response code to the computer.

Parameter 4-digit
Command format
When more than one code is being sent, send each command only after the OK response code for the previous
command from the projector is verified.
•When using the computer control function of the projector, the projector operating status cannot be read to the computer.
Therefore, confirm the status by transmitting the display commands for each adjustment menu and checking the status with
the On-screen Display. If the projector receives a command other than a menu display command, it will execute the com-
mand without displaying the On-screen Display.

•This projector may not be able to display images from notebook computers in simultaneous (CRT/LCD) mode. Should this
occur, turn off the LCD display on the notebook computer and output the display data in “CRT only” mode. Details on how
to change display modes can be found in your notebook computer’s operation manual.
•This projector can receive 640  350 VESA format VGA signals, however, “640  400” will appear on the screen.

Anti-aliasing digital keystone correction
Function to digitally correct a distorted image when the projector is set up at an angle.
Aspect ratio
Width and height ratio of an image. The normal aspect ratio of a computer and video image is 4 : 3. There are also
wide images with an aspect ratio of 16 : 9 and 21 : 9.
Auto sync
Optimizes projected computer images by automatically adjusting certain characteristics.
Background
Initial setting image projected when no signal is being input.
Clock
Clock adjustment is used to adjust vertical noise when clock level is incorrect.
Compatibility
Ability to use with various image signal modes.
Composite sync
Signal combining horizontal and vertical sync pulses.
Dot by dot
Mode that projects images in their native resolution.
DVI
Digital Visual Interface that supports both digital and analog displays.
FREEZE
Function to freeze a moving image.
GUI
Graphical User Interface. User interface with graphics that allow easier operation.
Intelligent compression technology
High quality resizing of lower and higher resolution images to fit the projector’s native resolution.
Magnification
Digitally zooms in on a portion of an image.
PDF
Portable Document Format. Documentation format used to transfer text and images from the CD-ROM.
Phase
Phase shift is a timing shift between isomorphic signals with the same resolution. When phase level is incorrect,
the projected image typically displays horizontal flicker.
RESIZE
Allows you to modify or customize the picture display mode to enhance the input image. You can select four
different modes: NORMAL, DOT BY DOT, STRETCH and BORDER.
RS-232C
Function to control the projector from the computer by using the RS-232C ports on the projector and computer.
SVGA resolution
Resolution with 800  600 pixels that uses the signal of an IBM/AT compatible (DOS/V) computer.
Sync
Synchronizes the resolution and phase shift of two signals. When receiving an image with a resolution different
from that of the computer, the projected image may be distorted.
Sync on green
Video signal mode of a computer which overlaps horizontal and vertical sync signal to green color signal pin.
Wireless mouse
Function to operate the mouse control of a computer with the supplied remote control.
XGA resolution
Resolution with 1,024  768 pixels that uses the signal of an IBM/AT compatible (DOS/V) computer.
