Connecting other compatible computersConnecting the Projector
When connecting the projector to a compatible computer other than an IBM-PC (VGA/SVGA/XGA/SXGA/UXGA)
or Macintosh (i.e. Workstation), a separate cable may be needed. Please contact your dealer for more information.
When connecting this projector to a computer, select “Computer/RGB” for “Signal Type” on the GUI menu. (See page 40.)
•Connecting computers other than the recommended types may result in damage to the projector, the computer, or both.
•AUDIO INPUT accepts INPUT 1 or 2 port input.
“Plug and Play” function
•This projector is compatible with VESA-standard DDC 1/DDC 2B when connecting to a 15-pin analog terminal
and VESA-standard DDC 2B when connecting to a 20-pin digital terminal. The projector and a VESA DDC
compatible computer will communicate their setting requirements, allowing for quick and easy setup.
•Before using the “Plug and Play” function, be sure to turn on the projector first and the connected computer last.
•The DDC, Plug and Play function of this projector operates only when used in conjunction with a VESA DDC compatible
computer.

Position the projector perpendicular to the screen with all feet flat and level to achieve an optimal image.
Move the projector forward or backward if the edges of the image are distorted.
•The projector lens should be centered in the middle of the screen. If the lens center is not perpendicular to the screen, the image will be
distorted, making viewing difficult.
•Position the screen so that it is not in direct sunlight or room light. Light falling directly onto the screen washes out colors, making viewing
difficult. Close the curtains and dim the lights when setting up the screen in a sunny or bright room.
•A polarizing screen cannot be used with this projector.
Place the projector at the required distance from the screen according
to the desired picture size (see the table below).

Operation
Press foot releases. Adjust height of projector
and remove hands from foot
releases.Rotate feet to make minor
changes.
Using the Adjustment Feet
There are two front adjustment feet and a rear adjustment foot.
To lower the position of the picture, pull out the folded leg of the rear adjustment foot.
See the diagram shown below for using the front adjustment feet.
•The projector is adjustable up to approximately 5° from the standard position.
•When the height of the projector is adjusted, the image may become distorted (keystoned), depending on the relative positions of the
projector and the screen.
CAUTION
•Do not press the foot releases when the adjustment feet are extended without firmly holding the projector.
•Do not hold the lens when lifting or lowering the projector.
•When lowering the projector, be careful not to get your fingers caught in the area between the adjustment feet and the projector.
