Placement Guide
•Use this information as a guide to find out about the screen size when the projector is placed at a certain location, or
to find out the approximate size of a screen that will be required.
•The projection distance over which focussing is adjustable is 1.20 m (3.9 feet) to 13.81 m (45.31 feet). The projector
should be placed within this range.
•When suspending the projector from the ceiling, change the projection method. See “Vertical Flip / Horizontal Flip” on
E-50.
* There is a tolerance of ±5% due to design values.
* This table uses the lens apex and lens center as references and requires that the projector be in a horizontal condition
(with front and rear adjusters fully withdrawn).27"

Connecting Personal Computers and Video Equipment
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 equip-
ment source in combination with an audio/video amplifier and speaker system will allow you to enjoy convincing home
theater.
Connections with Personal Computer
Please check the following before making connections with the personal computer.
• A suitable resolution for the U7-132/U7-137 is 1024  768 dots (XGA) and the maximum displayable resolution is 1280 
1024 dots (S-XGA).
Make changes to a displayable resolution at the personal computer side. Please check with “Table of Supported Frequency” on
Page E-65.
• The setting method for the personal computer will differ depending on the specific model. Please read the personal computer
instruction manual or the on-line help information, or contact the manufacturer of your personal computer.
• Projection might not be possible when connection is with a personal computer that is equipped with a DVI-I connector such as
some PowerBook G4 computers and others when the signal is converted to analog RGB (which uses a mini D-sub 15-pin
connector) and connection is made with the pertinent equipment. In circumstances such as this, please purchase separately
a DVI-D cable and use the unit through the DVI connection.
Note that connections via DVI will enable the projection of a high quality image compared to connections using analog RGB.
Personal Computers with a DVI Connector
• Make the connection with a DVI-D cable and the PC connector of the projector.
When connecting, arrange the connectors in the proper orientation and plug in. Turn the screw knobs and fasten to the
connector of the main unit.
• The projector has been set to “Auto” at the factory; however, if it does not project, please change the input setting to “Digital”
using the menu sequence of [Setup] → [Input Format] → [DVI].
See “Input Format” on Page E-52.

Connecting Personal Computers and Video Equipment
Personal Computers with a Mini D-Sub 15-Pin Connector
• When connections are made to the RGB connector of this projector, make these connections using the supplied RGB signal
cable.
Please orient the connector to mate properly when before inserting it, then turn the screw knobs to secure the connector to
that of the projector.
The projector has been set to "Auto" at the factory; however, if it does not project, please change the input setting to "RGB"
using the menu sequence of [Setup] → [Input Format] → [RGB].
See "Input Format" on Page E-52.
• When making connections with the DVI connector of the projector, please make the connection via the supplied DVI/mini D-
Sub 15-pin conversion adapter.
The projector has been set to “Auto” at the factory; however, if it does not project, please change the input setting to “RGB”
using the menu sequence of [Setup] → [Input Format] → [DVI].

Personal computer
Note:
* Before making connections, check the power of the projector and the equipment to be connected is switched off.
* 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 startup. Please consult the instruction manual of your notebook computer or the on-
line help.

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.
1Check 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.
2Should 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.)

In some rare cases, the picture may not be displayed, depending on the connected device.
Projecting component signals
Please note that when inputting 480i or 576i signals using a separately sold component cable and viewing video images, depending on the
connected device and the video source being projected, the picture may be disturbed or may not be projected properly.
In such cases, it is possible to achieve a picture with no disturbance that is projected properly by either switching to 480p signals or
connecting using an S-Video cable instead.
