Connecting your devices
WARNING ►Incorrect connecting could result in fi re or electrical shock.
Whenever attempting to connect other devices to the projector, please
thoroughly read the "User's Manual - Safety Guide", this manual and the
manual of each device to be connected.
CAUTION ►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.
►Some cables have to be used with core set. A too long cable may cause
a certain picture degradation. Use the accessory cable or a designated-type
cable for the connection. Please consult with your dealer for details. For cables
that have a core only at one end, connect the core to the projector.
►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.
Refer to the section “TECHNICAL” of this manual for the pin assignment of
connectors and RS-232C communication data.
NOTE • Whenever attempting to connect a laptop computer to the projector, be sure
to activate the laptop’s RGB external image output (set the laptop to CRT display or to
simultaneous LCD and CRT display). For details on how this is done, please refer to the
instruction manual of the corresponding laptop computer.
• Secure the screws on the connectors and tighten.
• Some computers may have multiple display screen modes. Use of some of these
modes will not be possible with this projector.
• For some COMPUTER input modes, the optional Mac adapter is necessary.
• 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 resolution will go back to the original. It might be recommended to
use other CRT or TFT monitors to change the resolution.
About Plug-and-Play capability

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.
• Please take advantage of this function by connecting the accessory RGB cable to
the COMPUTER port (DDC 2B compatible) and/or the optional DVI cable to the DVI-D
port (DDC 2B compatible). Plug-and-Play may not work properly if any other type of

Remote control
Using the LIGHT button
To illuminate the buttons of the remote control, press the
LIGHT button of it.
1.
Press the LIGHTLIGHT button.
If you don’t push the LIGHT button again, the lights will
turn off in several seconds.
Using the remote control
CAUTION ►Be careful in handling the remote control.
• Do not drop or otherwise expose the remote control to physical impact.
• Do not get the remote control wet or place it on wet objects. Doing so may
result in malfunction.
• Remove the batteries from the remote control and store them in a safe place if
you won’t be using the remote control for an extended period.
• Replace the batteries whenever the remote control starts to malfunction.
• When strong lights, such as direct sunlight or light from an extremely close
range (such as from an inverter fl uorescent lamp), hit the projector’s remote
sensor, the remote control may cause to function. Adjust the direction of the
projector to keep light from directly hitting the projector’s remote sensor.
The remote control works with the projector’s remote sensor.
• The range of the remote sensor is 3 meters with
a 60- degree range (30 degrees to the left and
right of the remote sensor).
Also a remote signal refl ected in the screen etc.
may be available. If it is diffi cult to send a remote
signal to the sensor directly, please try.
• Since the remote control uses infrared light
to send signals to the projector (Class1 LED),
be sure to use the remote control in an area
free from obstacles that could block the remote
control’s output signal to the projector.
