and that the devices to be connected are turned off. After making all connections, turn on the
projector and then the other devices. When connecting a computer, ensure that it is the last
device to be turned on after all the connections are made.
Ensure the operation manuals of the devices to be connected have been re\
ad before making connections.
Note
•See page  97 “Computer 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.
• Connecting computers other than the recommended types may result in damage to the projector, the
computer, or both.
• A Macintosh adaptor may be required for use with some Macintosh computer\
s. Contact your nearest
Macintosh Dealer.
• Depending on the computer you are using, an image may not be projected u\
nless the signal
output setting of the computer is switched to the external output.  Refer to the computer operation
manual for switching the computer signal output settings.

or when the LAN terminal on the projector to the LAN terminal on the computer, the com-
puter can be used to control the projector. Refer to the “SETUP GUIDE” contained on the
supplied CD-ROM for details.
When connecting to a computer using an RS-232C serial control cable
Note
•The RS-232C function may not operate if your computer terminal is not co\
rrectly set up. Refer to the
operation manual of the computer for details.
• Refer to “SETUP GUIDE” contained on the supplied CD-ROM for the RS-232C specifications and
commands.
Info
•Do not connect the RS-232C cable to a terminal other than the RS-232C terminal on the computer. This
