Setting up
NOTE • Be sure to read the manuals for devices 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, the signal timing, and the
resolution.
- Do not connect LAN port to any network that might have the excessive voltage.
- Some signal may need an adapter to input this projector.
- Some PCs have multiple screen display modes that may include some signals which
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.
• While connecting, make sure that the shape of the cable's connector ts the port to
connect with. 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 instruction manual of the
corresponding laptop PC.
• When the picture resolution is changed on a computer depending on an input,
automatic adjustment 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 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. An input signal of composite sync or sync on G may confuse this projector, so
the projector may not display a proper picture.
• The M1-D port of this model is compatible with HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content
Protection) and therefore capable of displaying a video signal from HDCP compatible
DVD players or the like.
About Plug-and-Play capability
Plug-and-Play is a system composed of a computer, its operating system and peripheral
equipment (i.e. display devices). This projector is VESA DDC 2B compatible. Plug-and-
Play can be used by connecting this projector to a computer that is VESA DDC (display
data channel) compatible.
• Take advantage of this feature by connecting an RGB cable to the RGB1 port (DDC
2B compatible). Plug-and-Play may not work properly if any other type of connection is
attempted.
• Please use the standard drivers in your computer as this projector is a Plug-and-Play
monitor.

Changing the frequency of remote control signal
The accessory remote control has the choice of the
mode 1 or the mode 2, in the frequency of its signal.
If the remote control does not function properly, at-
tempt to change the signal frequency.
Please remember that the “REMOTE FREQ.” in
SERVICE item of OPTION menu of the projector to
be controlled should be set to the same mode as
the remote control.
To set the mode of the remote control, slide the
knob of the frequency switch inside the battery cov-
er into the position indicated by the mode number to
choose.
About the remote control signal
The remote control works with the projector’s remote sensors. This projector has three re-
mote sensors on the front, on the top, and on the back.
The sensors can be respectively turned active or inactive using the “REMOTE RECEIV” in
the SERVICE item of OPTION menu. Each sensor senses the signal within the following
range when the sensor is active.
The front and top sensors:
60 degrees (30 degrees to the left and right of the
sensor) within 3 meters about.
The back sensor:
40 degrees (20 degrees to the left and right of the
sensor) within 3 meters about.
Remote control
NOTE • The remote control signal reected
in the screen or the like may be available. If it is
difcult to send the signal to the sensor directly,
attempt to make the signal reect.
• The remote control uses infrared light to send
signals to the projector (Class 1 LED), so be sure
to use the remote control in an area free from
obstacles that could block the remote control’s
signal to the projector.
• The remote control may not work correctly if
strong light (such as direct sun light) or light from
an extremely close range (such as from an inverter
uorescent lamp) shines on the remote sensor
of the projector. Adjust the position of projector
avoiding those lights.
