Connecting this unit with a personal computer permits presentation data to be projected as a large
screen display at conferences, lectures, and on other occasions. Furthermore, connecting this unit to
a DVD player or other video equipment source in combination with an audio/video amplifier and speaker
system will allow you to enjoy convincing home theater.
Connections with PC Connectors
Please check the following matters before making connections to the
personal computer.

should this be the case, you will need to change the resolution to a displayable resolution at the
computer side. Check with "Table of Supported Frequencies" on Page E-70.
