Sync. 
(Synchroni-
zation)The signals output from computers have a specific frequency. If the projector frequency does not 
match this frequency, the resulting images will not be of a good quality. The process of matching the 
phases of these signals (the relative position of the crests and troughs in the signal) is called 
synchronization. If the signals are not synchronized, problems such as flickering, blurriness and 
horizontal interference can occur.
TrackingThe signals output from computers have a specific frequency. If the projector frequency does not 
match this frequency, the resulting images will not be of a good quality. The process of matching the 
frequency of these signals (the number of crests in the signal) is called tracking. If tracking is not 
carried out correctly, wide vertical stripes will appear in the projected images.
VG AA type of image signal with a resolution of 640 (horizontal) × 480 (vertical) dots which is used by IBM 
PC/ AT-compatible computers.
XGAA type of image signal with a resolution of 1,024 (horizontal) × 768 (vertical) dots which is used by 
IBM PC/ AT-compatible computers.

The projection size will vary depending on the projection 
distance from the projectors lens to the screen.
Refer to the table below to the projector so that the images  
are projected onto the screen at the optimum size.

Screen Size and Setting-up Distance
At the time of shipment from the factory, the vertical lens shift position is set to the 
lowest position, so move it to the center position before carrying out adjustment.
The projector’s lens allows a zoom ratio of up to about 1.5. The image size at the 
maximum zoom setting is about 1.5 times bigger than the image size at the 
minimum zoom setting.
The image size will be reduced when keystone correction is carried out.

Turn off the power for the projector and the home theater 
system before making the connections.
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, a malfunction or damage to the connector or 
port may result.

If video signals are being input to several input ports simultaneously, 
interference between the various signals may occur, and this may cause 
interference in the projected images. If this happens, turn off the power 
supply or disconnect the video equipment which is not currently being used.
*Push the connectors in as far as they will go.

							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.
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.
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.
