Connecting a LAN Cable Connecting a LAN Cable Connect with a 100BASE-TX or 10BASE-T LAN cable (not included). The illustration in this section shows the PowerLite Pro Z8000WUNL. If you are using the PowerLite Pro Z8050WNL, the projector and interfaces are slightly different.
Connecting to an external monitor Connecting to an external monitor Analog RGB images input through the Computer or BNC ports can be displayed on an external monitor and the screen at the same time. You can check projected images on an external monitor when giving presentations even if you cannot see the screen.
Removing Caution: • Only remove the lens unit when necessary. If dust or dirt enter the projector, projection quality deteriorates and it could cause a malfunction. • Try not to touch the lens with your hand or fingers. If fingerprints or oils are left on the surface of the lens, projection quality deteriorates.
Once it is released, pull the lens unit straight out. Attaching Caution: Do not remove or attach the lens unit when the projector's lens area is facing up (for projecting directly up). Dust or dirt could enter the projector. Procedure Insert the lens unit straight into the lens insertion section with the white circle on the lens on top.

Sync. The signals output from computers have a specific frequency. If the projector frequency does not match this frequency, the resulting images are not of a good quality. The process of matching the phases of these signals (the relative position of the crests and the troughs in the signal) is called Synchronization.

Glossary Refresh Rate The light-emitting element of a display maintains the same luminosity and color for an extremely short time. Because of this, the image must be scanned many times per second to refresh the light-emitting element. The number of refresh operations per second is called the Refresh Rate and is expressed in hertz (Hz).
