Notes
(Signal sent from the computer)
•If you project an image from a computer with an LCD screen while monitoring the image on
the computer, the image may not be projected properly, depending on the computer model.
In this case, turn off the computer display. For details on controlling the computer display, etc.,
refer to the computer’s manual and description on the software for the computer used.
•The TLP550/TLP551 projects an image by XGA signal (1024 x 768) in full screen. The image
quality from a computer signal other than XGA may be inferior. It is recommended to set the
external monitor connected to the computer to XGA mode (1024 x 768).
•The TLP250/TLP251 projects an image by SVGA signal (800 x 600) in full screen. The image
quality of a computer signal except SVGA may deteriorate. It is recommended to set the
external monitor connected to the computer to SVGA mode (800 x 600).
•The projector can be also applied to DDC2B (Display Data Channel 2B). If your computer is
applied to the DDC, start up your computer after turning on the projector. If the order is
reversed, the computer may not output any signal.
Adjust the picture size by turning the
zooming lever.
Turn to the right to enlarge the picture.
