Cautions when using a DVI signal
• When the computer has a DVI output terminal, use a commercially available converter cable to connect the com-
puter to the projector’s HDMI IN terminal (only digital video signals can be input).

NOTE: When Viewing a DVI Digital Signal
• Turn off the power of the computer and projector before connecting devices.
• When a video deck is connected via a scan converter, etc., the display may not be correct during fast-forwarding and rewind-
ing.
• Use a DVI-to-HDMI cable compliant with DDWG (Digital Display Working Group) DVI (Digital Visual Interface) revision 1.0 stan-
dard. The cable should be within 197"/5 m long.
• Turn off the projector and the PC before connecting the DVI-to-HDMI cable.
• To project a DVI digital signal: Connect the cables, turn the projector on, then select the HDMI. Finally, turn 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.
• Some graphics cards have both analog RGB (15-pin D-Sub) and DVI (or DFP) outputs. Use of the 15-pin D-Sub terminal may
result in no picture being displayed from the digital output of the graphics card.
• Do not disconnect the DVI-to-HDMI cable while the projector is running. If the signal cable has been disconnected and then
reconnected, an image may not be correctly displayed. Should this happen, restart your PC.
• The COMPUTER IN terminal supports Windows Plug and Play. The BNC input terminals do not support Windows Plug and
Play.
• A Mac signal adapter (commercially available) may be required to connect a Mac computer.
To connect a Mac computer equipped with a Mini DisplayPort to the projector, use a commercially available Mini DisplayPort

DisplayPort converter cable.
