• Turn off all equipment before making any connections.
• Use the proper cables for each connection.
• Insert the cable plugs properly; plugs that are not fully inserted often 

generate noise. When pulling out a cable, be sure to pull it out from the plug, 
not the cable itself.

Supplied mouse cables may not work properly according to your computer.

This section describes how to connect the projector to a computer.
For more information, refer to the computer’s instruction manual.

• The projector accepts VGA, SVGA, XGA, and SXGA signals. However, we 

recommend that you set the output mode of your computer to SVGA mode for the 
external monitor.

• If you set your computer, such as a notebook type, to output the signal to both your 

computer’s display and the external monitor, the picture of the external monitor may 
not appear properly. Set your computer to output the signal to only the external 
monitor.
For details, refer to the computer’s operating instructions supplied with your 
computer.

• Supplied mouse cables may not work properly according to your computer.
• This projector is compatible with a DDC2B (Digital Data Channel 2B). If your 

computer is compatible with a DDC, turn the projector on according to the following 
procedures.

Connect the projector to the computer by using the supplied HD D-sub 15 pin cable.

Turn the projector on.

Start the computer.

Connecting the Projector

 

• When you use the supplied application software, connect your computer 

as illustrated above. This application software and the USB hub function 
can be used on a computer loaded with Windows 98 preinstall model.

• As the projector recognizes the USB mouse when the computer is 

connected to the USB connector, do not connect anything to the PS/2 
mouse port.

• Your computer may not start correctly when it has been connected to the 

USB connector on the projector via the USB cable.  In this case, first 
disconnect the USB cable, restart the computer, then connect the 
computer to the projector using the USB cable supplied with the 
projector.

When connecting the projector to a computer by using the USB cable for the 
first time, the computer recognizes the following devices automatically.

USB hub (general use)

USB human interface device (wireless mouse function)

USB human interface device (projector control function)

Excepting these devices above mentioned, the computer recognizes the device 
connected to the downstream connector on the projector.
