System Configuration Example
Notes on system configuration
• Turn off the power supply of each system component before connecting any\
 of the components. 
• Read the instruction manual for each system component before connecting \
it. 
• If the necessary cables for connecting any system components are not sup\
plied with the component or availableas an option, you may need to fashion a cable to suit the component conc\
erned.
• If there is a lot of jitter in the video signal input from the video sou\
rce, the picture on the screen may flicker. In such cases, it will be necessary to connect a TBC (time base corrector)\
.
•  
The Projector can be connected to video signal sources which out put VID\
EO, S-VIDEO, analog RGB signals, 
DVI-D signals [PT-L759XU] and Component signals (Y P
BPR signals).
• The Projector has built-in speaker. However, you will need to connect a \
separate audio system to the
AUDIO OUT terminal if your needs specify high sound volumes.
• It may not be possible to connect some types of personal
 computer.
 Example of connection to audio-visual equipment
Diagram numbers correspond with numbers (see page  44.)
• Only one audio signal input system is available for the VIDEO AUDIO IN t\
erminals for S-VIDEO/VIDEO signals, so if you wish to change the audio input source, you will need to remove and i\
nsert the appropriate plugs.
• If an audio system is connected to the AUDIO OUT terminal, muting can be\
 controlled by the remote control which is
supplied with the Projector.
• If the video signal source is connected using a cable with a BNC junctio\
n plug, use the BNC-RCA Adaptor (not included) to convert the pin jack.

 Example of connection to a Personal computer
Diagram numbers correspond with numbers (see page 44.)
• The RGB input accepts signals from VGA, SVGA, XGA, SXGA (Compression), UXGA (Compression), and Macintosh
compatible computers without the need for any additional hardware.
• Plug the VGA signal cable (supplied) correctly into the RGB1/YP
BPR IN terminal or RGB2 IN/RGB1 OUT terminal on
the LCD Projector and the RGB signal Output terminal on your computer. Secure the plugs by tightening the thumb
screws.
When connecting the LCD Projector to a Macintosh Series computer, first connect the VGA MAC Adaptor (supplied)
to the RGB signal Output terminal on your computer. Secure the plugs by tightening the thumb screws. Be sure to set
the DIP switch on the VGA MAC adapter to your display type. (See page 45.)
• When confirming the signal connected to RGB1 using a separate monitor, please connect to the RGB2 IN/RGB1 OUT
terminal. In this case, set the RGB2 IN/RGB1 OUT terminal to OUT. (See page 40.)
• When the LCD Projector is connected to personal computer, you can use the remote control in place of the personal
computer’s mouse by attaching the Mouse cable.
• If you wish to use the wireless mouse function, turn on the main power of the Projector before turning on the personal
computer.
• When connecting the LCD Projector to a compatible computer other than a VGA, SVGA, XGA, SXGA (Compression),
UXGA (Compression), or Macintosh series, a separate cable is needed.
• The wireless mouse feature may not be operable when using a personal computer with the Resume (last memory)
feature and the feature is not reset.
• With RGB connection, if you wish to use your PC plug & play function, turn on the LCD Projector MAIN power switch
before turning on the PC.
• When projecting via the DVI-D input, first connect the LCD Projector to your PC using the DVI cable, and then turn the
PC on.
• There is only one audio system circuit provided for the AUDIO IN terminals for RGB1/YP
BPR, RGB2 IN, DVI-D [PT-
L759XU] signals. Because of this, if using both RGB,YP
BPR and DVI-D signals, it will be necessary to change over the
connectors.

The Component signal (YPBPR signal) can be input and projected with this LCD Projector.
Please read the operating instructions regarding the output side of the component when connecting.
Diagram numbers correspond with numbers (see page 44.)

• Because each Y, P
B, and PR signal is input independently, the Component signal allows for more faithful color
reproduction.
• The Component signal output terminal indication will differ according to the output device (P
R, PB, Y/R-Y, B-Y, Y/Cr,
Cb, Y, etc.).
Please read the operating instructions included with the output device.
• You need to change the input signal setting on this LCD Projector when inputting the Component signal. In this case,
please refer to page 39 to change the setting.
• D-sub 15-BNC5 (female) Adaptor Cable (sold separately) often have BNC connectors, however a DVD output device
usually has RCA jacks. In this case, you will need BNC-RCA adaptors (not included).

Using the SERIAL connector (RS-232C)
The serial connector which is on the side terminal board of the projector conforms to the RS-232C interface specifica-
tion, so that the projector can be controlled by a personal computer which is connected to this connector.
Use a proper  communication cable which is suitable for the personal computer to connect the serial connector and the
personal computer.
Each packet which is sent from the personal computer starts with STX. Following this is the command itself and the
parameters for that command (if any,) and the packet then ends with ETX. Add parameters when necessary according
to the control contents.
• If sending multiple commands, check that a response has been received from the projector for one command before
sending the next command. When a command which do not require parameters is sent, the colon (:) is not required.
• If an incorrect command is sent from the personal computer, the “ER401” command will be sent from the projector to
the personal computer.
• If an incorrect parameter is sent from the personal computer, the “ER402” command will be sent from the projector to
the personal computer.

• After taking appropriate action, allow the interior to cool thoroughly before switching on the power. A much longer
time may be required if the projector had attained an abnormally high internal temperature.
• The Lamp installed in the LCD Projector contains metallic material. When the Projector is turned off, the vibration
of moving it, etc. may cause the metallic material to shift and adhere to the polar terminals. In case the Lamp
cannot light up in this abnormal condition, the message, “P-2” will be displayed to alert you.
