Note
• Note that lamp characteristics may rarely cause the brightness to fluctuate slightly.

the lamp could burn out. This is characteristic of a lamp, and is not malfunction. (The
lifetime of the lamp depends on conditions of use.)
•The DLP
® chip  is made using extremely advanced technology, but there may be black
spots (pixels that do not light) or bright spots (pixels that are constantly lit) on the panel.
Please note that these are not malfunctions. 
• Although this projector supports a wide range of RGB signals  , any signal formats
not matched to native resolution of this projector (XGA) will be expanded or shrunk,
which will affect image quality slightly. To view high-quality images, setting the
computer’s external output to XGA is recommended.
• With some models of computer having LCD displays or the like, displaying images
simultaneously on the projector and the monitor’s display may prevent the images from
displaying properly. If this happens, turn off the computer’s LCD display. For information
