      If your Sony Projector displays no picture, first ensure all cables are correctly and securely connected. If your computer is DDC compatible, connect the projector to the computer, turn the projector on, and then start the computer. Also, select the correct input source using the INPUT key. Make sure the computer signal is set to output only to an external monitor. If you are using a notebook or an all-in-one LCD, you may need to switch the computer to output to the projector using specific keys or settings; refer to your computer's operating instructions for details.
