NOTE . Whenever attempting to connect a laptop computer to the projector, be sure to acti-
vate the laptops RGB external image output (set the laptop to CRT display or to simulta-
neous LCD and CRT display). For details on how this is done, please refer to the instruction 
manual of the corresponding laptop computer.
o Secure the screws on the connectors and tighten.
o Some computers may have multiple display screen modes. Use of some of these modes 
will not be possible with this projector.
o For some RGB input modes, the optional Mac adapter is necessary.
o When the image resolution is changed on a computer, depending on an input, automatic 
adjust function may take some time and may not be completed. In this case, you may not be 
able to see a check box to select “Yes/No” for the new resolution on Windows. Then the res-
olution will go back to the original. It might be recommended to use other CRT or TFT mon-
itors to change the resolution.
About Plug-and-Play capability
Plug-and-Play is a system composed of the computer, its operating system and peripheral 
equipment (i.e. display devices). This projector is compatible with VESA DDC 2B. Plug-and-
Play can be achieved by connecting this projector to computers that are VESA DDC (display 
data channel) compatible.
o Please take advantage of this function by connecting the accessory RGB cable to the RGB 
port (DDC 2B compatible). Plug-and-Play may not work properly if any other type of connec-
tion is attempted.
o Please use the standard drivers in your computer as this projector is a Plug-and-Play mon-
itor.CAUTION
X Turn off all devices prior to connecting them to the projector. Attempting to connect a 
live device to the projector may generate extremely loud noises or other abnormalities 
that may result in malfunction and/or damage to the device and/or projector.
X Use the accessory cable or a designated-type cable for the connection. Some cables 
have to be used with core set. A cable that is too long may cause a certain picture deg-
radation. Please consult with your dealer for details. For cables that have a core only at 
one end, connect the core to the projector.
X Make sure that you connect devices to the correct port. Incorrect connection may result 
in malfunction and/or damage to the device and/or projector.

Operating the remote control
The remote control works with the projectors remote sensor.
• The range of the remote sensor is 3 meters with a 60- degree range (30 degrees to the left 
and right of the remote sensor).
• Also a remote signal reflected in the screen etc. may be available. If it is difficult to send a 
remote signal to the sensor directly, please try.
• Since the remote control uses infrared light to send signals to the projector (Class1 LED), 
be sure to use the remote control in an area free from obstacles that could block the re-
mote controls output signal to the projector. CAUTION
X Be careful in handling the remote control.
* Do not drop or otherwise expose the remote control to physical impact.
* Do not get the remote control wet or place it on wet objects. Doing so may result in mal-
function.
* Remove the batteries from the remote control and store them in a safe place if you wont 
be using the remote control for an extended period.
* Replace the batteries whenever the remote control starts to malfunction.
* When strong lights, such as direct sunlight or light from an extremely close range (such 
as from an inverter fluorescent lamp), hit the projectors remote sensor, the remote con-
trol may cease to function. Adjust the direction of the projector to keep light from directly 
hitting the projectors remote sensor.
