Setting up
Connecting your devices (continued)
NOTE
• Be sure to read the device manuals 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, signal timing, and resolution.
- Be sure to consult with the network administrator. Do not connect LAN port to any
network that might have excessive voltage.
- Some signals may require an adapter to be input into this projector.
- Some PCs have multiple screen display modes which may include some that 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.
• When connecting, make sure that the shape of the cable's connector fits the port you
are connecting to, 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 PC's instruction manual.
• When the picture resolution changes on a computer depending on an input, the
automatic adjustment feature may take some time and may not complete successfully.
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 a different CRT or LCD monitor 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. Composite sync and sync on G input signals may confuse this projector, so the
projector may not display the image properly.
• The HDMI and DVI-D ports of this model are compatible with HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content
Protection) and therefore are capable of displaying a video signal from HDCP compatible DVD players and the
like.
