Connecting Personal Computers and Video Equipment
Connecting this unit with a personal computer permits presentation data to be projected as a large screen display at
conferences, lectures, and on other occasions. Furthermore, connecting this unit to a DVD player or other video equip-
ment source in combination with an audio/video amplifier and speaker system will allow you to enjoy convincing home
theater.
Connections with Personal Computer
Please check the following before making connections with the personal computer.
•A suitable resolution for this projector is 1024 x 768 dots (XGA). The maximum displayable resolution is 1280 x 1024 dots (S-
XGA).
Make changes to a displayable resolution at the personal computer side. Please check with “Table of Supported Frequency”
on Page E-61.
•The setting method for the personal computer will differ depending on the specific model. Please read the personal computer
instruction manual or the on-line help information, or contact the manufacturer of your personal computer.
Connect the projector’s RBG connector using the included RGB signal cable.
•When making connections with the RGB connector of the projector, please make the connection via the supplied RGB signal
cable.
•The projector has been set to “Auto” at the factory; however, if it does not project, please change the input setting to “RGB”
using the menu sequence of [Setup] → [Input Format] → [RGB].
See “Input Format” on Page E-49.

RGB signal cable (Supplied item)
Note:
*Before making connections, check the power of the projector and the equipment to be connected is switched off.
*When projection will be with a notebook computer connected, knowledge will be required for the cable connection and notebook computer
startup procedure as well as the operation that follows startup. Please consult the instruction manual of your notebook computer or the on-
line help.

Connecting Personal Computers and Video Equipment
To Output the External Output Signal of a Notebook Computer
When projection will be with a notebook computer connected, knowledge will be required for the cable connection and notebook
computer startup procedure as well as the operation that follows notebook startup. Please consult the instruction manual of your
notebook computer or the on-line help while performing the following procedure.
1Check whether a signal is being sent from the notebook computer to the projector.
An indication appearing on the liquid crystal display of the notebook computer does not necessarily mean that an external
output signal is being output.
REFERENCE: When “Resolution” or “Frequency” is not displayed under “Info.” on the menu of the projector, this means that
the external output signal is not being output from the personal computer. See “Resolution/Frequency” on Page E-53.
2Should a sign not be output from the notebook computer, please try the operation described below.
For an IBM PC/AT compatible computer, press the [Fn] key plus any one of the [F1] to [F10] keys. (See the table below.)
Note:
When the liquid crystal display of the notebook computer and the projector are displayed at the same time, the projected image might not be
correct even though the liquid crystal display shows a correct indication. Should this occur, stop the simultaneous display of the notebook
computer and try the mode with external output only. Try an operation such as that described in aforementioned Step 2 and try closing the
liquid crystal panel which might result in external output only.
