Computer Compatibility Chart
Computer
• Multiple signal support
  Horizontal Frequency: 15–81 kHz, Vertical Frequency: 43–100 Hz, Pixel Clock: 12–150 MHz
• Compatible with sync on green and composite sync signals (TTL level) 
• AICS (Advanced Intelligent Compression and Expansion System) resizing technology
The following is a list of modes that conform to VESA.  However, this projector supports other signals that 
are not VESA standards.
Note
• 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.
• When this projector receives 640 × 350 VESA format VGA signals, “640 × 400” appears on the screen.
• When projecting moving image of interlace signals using RGB input, the intended image may not be pro-
jected depending on the signal types. In such cases, use the component, S-video or video input.

to be used. If condensation should form, remove the power cord 
from the wall outlet and wait for it to clear.–

occasionally heard 
from the cabinet.• If the picture is normal, the sound is due to cabinet shrinkage 
caused by a room temperature changes. This will not affect 
operation or performance.–

be received when the 
projector was attempted 
to be controlled using 
RS-232C commands 
from a computer during 
standby.•  In the case of transmitting RS-232C commands from a computer
