The preset memory number 44 is available when DDC is set to off on the 
computer. However, the screen resolution of the projector may not be 
supported, or it is possible that DDC cannot be turned off, depending on the 
computer. For details, refer to the operating instructions supplied with your 
computer.
DDC (Display Data Channel) allows the computer to obtain information about features 
from the monitor. It also allows output of the most appropriate refresh value 
automatically, based on the resolution of the monitor.
When a signal other than the preset signals shown above is input, the picture may not 
appear properly.

							GB 76Ceiling Installation
Ceiling Installation
Use the PSS-H10 or PSS-610 Projector Suspension Support when you install 
the projector on a ceiling. The projection distances for ceiling installation are 
shown below.
To attach the supplied air filter cover for ceiling installation
When you install the projector on the ceiling using the PSS-H10 or PSS-610 
Projector Suspension Support, attach the supplied air filter cover for the 
ventilation holes (intake) to prevent the air filter from becoming clogged with 
dust.
When you use the projector placed on a floor, do not attach the air filter cover. If you 
attach it, the air filter cover may get broken.
Note
Air filter cover
Attach the air filter cover 
with the 
F mark on the air 
filter cover facing to the 
front.
