Making Connections
NOTE: When using with a notebook PC, be sure to connect between the projector and the notebook PC before turning on the power to the
notebook PC. In most cases signal cannot be output from RGB output unless the notebook PC is turned on after connecting with the projector.
* If the screen goes blank while using your remote control, it may be the result of the computer's screen-saver or power management software.
* If you accidentally hit the POWER button on the remote control, wait 90 seconds and then press the POWER button again to resume.
When Viewing a DVI Digital Signal:
To project a DVI digital signal, be sure to connect the PC and the projector using a DVI-D signal cable (not supplied) before
turning on your PC or projector. Turn on the projector first and select DVI (DIGITAL) from the source menu before turning on
your PC.
Failure to do so may not activate the digital output of the graphics card resulting in no picture being displayed. Should this
happen, restart your PC.
Do not disconnect the DVI-D signal cable while the projector is running. If the signal cable has been disconnected and then re-
connected, an image may not be correctly displayed. Should this happen, restart your PC.
NOTE:
• Use the DVI-D cable compliant with DDWG (Digital Display Working Group) DVI (Digital Visual Interface) revision 1.0 standard. The DVI-D cable
should be within 5 m (196") long.
• The DVI (DIGITAL) connector accepts VGA (640x480), SVGA (800x600), 1152x864, XGA (1024x768) and SXGA (1280x1024 @ up to 60Hz).
