Setting up
NOTE  • Be sure to read the manuals for devices before connecting them to the projector, and make sure that all the devices are suitable to be connected with this product. Before connecting to a PC, check the signal level, the signal timing,  and the resolution.-  Some signal may need an adapter to input this projector.
-   Some PCs have multiple screen display modes that may include some signals which 
are not supported by this projector. 
-   
Although the projector can display signals with resolution up to UXGA  (1600X1200), 
the signal will be converted to the projector’s panel resolution before being displayed. The best display performance will be achieved if the resolutions of the input signal and the projector panel are identical.• While connecting, make sure that the shape of the cable's connector fits the port to connect with. And be sure to tighten the screws on connectors with screws.• When connecting a laptop PC to the projector, be sure to activate the PC’s external RGB output. (Set the laptop PC 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 PC.• When the picture resolution is changed on a pc depending on an input, automatic adjustment 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 resolution will go back to the original. It might be recommended to use other CRT or LCD monitors to change the resolution.• In some cases, this projector may not display a proper picture or display any picture on screen. For example, automatic adjustment may not function correctly with some input signals. An input signal of composite sync or sync on G may confuse this projector, so the projector may not display a proper picture.• The HDMI port of this model is compatible with HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) and therefore capable of displaying a video signal from HDCP compatible DVD players or the like.
About Plug-and-Play capability
Plug-and-Play is a system composed of a PC, its operating system and peripheral equipment (i.e. display devices). This projector is VESA DDC 2B compatible. Plug-and-Play can be used by connecting this projector to a pc that is VESA DDC (display data channel) compatible.• Take advantage of this feature by connecting an RGB cable to the COMPUTER IN1 port (DDC 2B compatible). Plug-and-Play may not work properly if any other type of connection is attempted.• Please use the standard drivers in your pc as this projector is a Plug-and-Play monitor .
NOTE for HDMI
• The HDMI supports the following signals.  -Video signal : 525i(480i),525p(480p),625i(576i),750p(720p),1125i(1080i),1125p(1080p)
  -PC signals : See User’s Manual (detailed) Technical
  -Audio signal :  Format    Linear PCM Sampling Frequency   48kHz / 44.1kHz / 32kHz• This projector can be connected with another equipment that has HDM I or DVI connector, but with some equipment the projector may not work properly, something like no video or no audio.•   Be sure to use an HDMI cable that has the HDMI logo.• When the projector is connected with a device having DVI connector , use a DVI to HDMI cable to connect with the HDMI input and an audio cable to connect with one of the Audio input.

About the remote control signal
T h e   r e m o t e   c o n t r o l   w o r k s   w i t h   t h e   p r o j e c t o r ’s remote  sensor.  This  projector  has  a  remote  sensor on the front.The  sensor  senses  the  signal  within  the  following range when the sensor is active:60  degrees  (30  degrees  to  the  left  and  right  of  the sensor) within 3 meters about.
NOTE  • The remote control signal reflected in the screen or the like may be 
available. If it is difficult to send the signal to the sensor directly, attempt to make the 
signal reflect.
• The remote control uses infrared light to send signals to the projector (Class 1 LED), 
so be sure to use the remote control in an area free from obstacles that could block the 
remote control’s signal to the projector.
• The remote control may not work correctly if strong light (such as direct sun light) or light 
from an extremely close range (such as from an inverter fluorescent lamp) shines on the 
remote sensor of the projector. Adjust the position of projector avoiding those lights.
