When making connections, be sure to:
• turn off all equipment before making any
connections.
• use the proper cables for each connection.
• insert the plugs of the cables properly; plugs that are
not fully inserted often generate noise. When pulling
out a cable, be sure to pull it out from the plug, not
the cable itself.

VCR
This section describes how to connect the projector to
a computer or video equipment.

UXGA (60 Hz) signals. However, we recommend
you to set the output signal of your computer to the

both the display of your computer and the external
monitor, the picture of the external monitor may not
appear properly. In such cases, set the output mode
of your computer to output the signal to only the
