Connecting Personal Computers and Video Equipment
To Output the External Output Signal of a Notebook Computer
When projection will be with a notebook computer connected, knowledge will be required for the cable connection and notebook
computer startup procedure as well as the operation that follows notebook startup. Please consult the instruction manual of your
notebook computer or the on-line help while performing the following procedure.
1
Check whether a signal is being sent from the notebook computer to the projector.
An indication appearing on the liquid crystal display of the notebook computer does not necessarily mean that an external
output signal is being output.
2
Should a sign not be output from the notebook computer, please try the operation described below.
For an IBM PC/AT, DOS/V computer, press the [Fn] key plus any one of the [F1] to [F10] keys. (See the table below.)
Note
When the liquid crystal display of the notebook computer and the projector are displayed at the same time, the projected image might not be
correct even though the liquid crystal display shows a correct indication. Should this occur, stop the simultaneous display of the notebook
computer and try the mode with external output only. (Try an operation such as that described in aforementioned Step 2 and try closing the
liquid crystal panel which might result in external output only.)
