Connecting Your Devices
NOTE:
About Plug-and-Play Capability
• This projector is compatible with VESA DDC 1/2B. Plug-and-Play can be achieved by 
connecting this projector to computers that are VESA DDC (display data channel) compatible. 
Please take advantage of this function by connecting the accessory RGB cable to the RGB port 
(DDC 1/2B compatible). Plug-and-Play may not work properly if any other type of connection is 
attempted.
• Plug-and-Play is a system composed of the computer, its operating system and peripheral 
equipment (i.e. display devices).
• Please use the standard drivers in your computer, as this projector is a Plug-and-Play monitor.
NOTE:
• Some computers may have multiple display screen modes. Use of some of these modes will not 
be possible with this projector.
• For some RGB input modes, the optional Mac adapter is necessary.
 WA R N I N G
Incorrect connecting could result in fire or electrical shock. Whenever attempting to connect other 
devices to the projector, please thoroughly read the PJ510 QUICK START GUIDE, this manual 
and the manual of each device to be connected.
 CAUTION
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.
 AT T E N T I O N
• 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. Refer to the section “Technical” of 
this manual for the pin assignment of connectors and RS-232C communication data.
• Some cables have to be used with core set. Use the accessory cable or a designated-type cable 
for the connection. For cables that have a core only at one end, connect the core to the projector.
• Secure the screws on the connectors and tighten.
• Whenever attempting to connect a laptop computer to the projector, be sure to activate the 
laptop’s RGB external image output (set the laptop to CRT display or to simultaneous LCD and 
CRT display). For details on how this is done, please refer to the instruction manual of the 
corresponding laptop computer.

 CAUTION
Always handle the batteries with care and use them only as directed. Improper use may result in 
battery cracking or leakage, which could result in fire, injury and/or pollution of the surrounding 
environment.
• Keep the battery away from children and pets.
• Be sure to use only the batteries specified for use with the remote control. Do not mix new 
batteries with used ones.
• When inserting batteries, verify that the plus and minus terminals are aligned correctly (as 
indicated in the remote control).

Operating The Remote Control
• The remote control works with the projector’s 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 remote 
control’s output signal to the projector.
 AT T E N T I O N
• 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 
malfunction.
• Remove the batteries from the remote control and store them in a safe place if you won’t 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 projector’s remote sensor, the remote control may cause to 
function. Adjust the direction of the projector to keep light from directly hitting the projector’s 
remote sensor.
