							      Connecting to a Computer
Turn off the power for both the projector and the computer before connecting them. 
If the power for either device is on at the time of connection, damage may result.
Check the shapes of the cable connectors and the device ports before making the 
connections. If you try to force a connector to fit a device port with a different shape 
or number of terminals, damage to the connector or port may result.
The projector cannot be connected to some types of computer, or projection of images 
may not be possible even if actual connection is possible. Make sure that the computer you 
intend to use satisfies the conditions given below.
Condition 1: The computer must have a image signal output port.
Check that the computer has a port such as an RGB port, monitor port or video port which 
can output image signals. If the computer has a built-in monitor, or if using a laptop 
computer, it may not be possible to connect the computer to the projector, or alternatively 
you may need to purchase a separate external output port. Refer to the OWNERS 
MANUAL for your computer under a heading such as Connecting an external monitor or 
similar for further details.
Condition 2: The display resolution and frequency of the computer must be listed 
in the List of Supported Signal Resolutions.
Some computers may have functions for changing the output resolution. Refer to the 
OWNERS MANUAL for the computer and change the setting to within a range given in 
the list of supported resolutions.
You may need to purchase a separate adapter to connect the 
computer to the projector, depending on the shape of the computers 
monitor port. Refer to the 
OWNERS MANUAL for the computer for 
details.
The optional Mac Adapter Set is required in order to connect the 
projector to a Macintosh computer.
