Connecting your devices
NOTE . Whenever attempting to connect a laptop computer to the projector, be sure to acti-
vate the laptop's RGB external image output (set the laptop to CRT display or to simulta-
neous LCD and CRT display). For details on how this is done, please refer to the instruction
manual of the corresponding laptop computer.
o Secure the screws on the connectors and tighten.
o Some computers may have multiple display screen modes. Use of some of these modes
will not be possible with this projector.
o For some RGB input modes, the optional Mac adapter is necessary.
o When the image resolution is changed on a computer, depending on an input, automatic
adjust function may take some time and may not be completed. 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 res-
olution will go back to the original. It might be recommended to use other CRT or TFT mon-
itors to change the resolution.
About Plug-and-Play capability
Plug-and-Play is a system composed of the computer, its operating system and peripheral
equipment (i.e. display devices). This projector is compatible with VESA DDC 2B. Plug-and-
Play can be achieved by connecting this projector to computers that are VESA DDC (display
data channel) compatible.
o Please take advantage of this function by connecting the accessory RGB cable to the RGB
port (DDC 2B compatible). Plug-and-Play may not work properly if any other type of connec-
tion is attempted.
o Please use the standard drivers in your computer as this projector is a Plug-and-Play mon-
itor.
CAUTION
X Turn off all devices prior to connecting them to the projector. Attempting to connect a
live device to the projector may generate extremely loud noises or other abnormalities
that may result in malfunction and/or damage to the device and/or projector.
X Use the accessory cable or a designated-type cable for the connection. Some cables
have to be used with core set. A cable that is too long may cause a certain picture deg-
radation. Please consult with your dealer for details. For cables that have a core only at
one end, connect the core to the projector.
X Make sure that you connect devices to the correct port. Incorrect connection may result
in malfunction and/or damage to the device and/or projector.
