Projector features
This projector is used to project various computer signals as well as NTSC / PAL
/ SECAM video signals onto a screen. It requires just a little space for installation
and gets a large image from short distance.
High Brightness
Newly developed 165W UHB (Ultra High Brightness) lamp gives you a higher
brightness image on a screen. The image can be still kept as bright and clean
enough for use in bright rooms.
Low Noise
WHISPER mode is equipped for reducing acoustic noise to realize quieter
operation. It is perfect for use in low luminance rooms where low noise is more
important than brightness.
Compact Body
Even with its many features, this projector is extremely compact and slim,

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 RGB signal 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 LCD monitors to change the
