Before connecting, ensure the power cord of the projector from the AC outlet is unplugged,
and that the devices to be connected are turned off. After making all connections, turn on the
projector and then the other devices. When connecting a computer, ensure that it is the last
device to be turned on after all the connections are made.
Ensure the operation manuals of the devices to be connected have been read before making connections.

* When using the ø3.5 mm mono audio cable, the volume level will be half of when using the ø3.5 mm stereo audio cable.
Note
• See page  63 “Computer Compatibility Chart” for a list of computer signals compatible with the projector.
Use with computer signals other than those listed may cause some of the \
functions to not work.
• A Macintosh adaptor may be required for use with some Macintosh computer\
s. Contact your nearest
Macintosh Dealer.
• Depending on the computer you are using, an image may not be projected unless the computer’s
external output port is switched on. (e.g. Press “Fn” and “F5” keys simultaneously when using a

Controlling the Projector by a Computer
When the RS-232C terminal on the projector is connected to a computer, the computer can be used to control
the projector and check the status of the projector. Refer to the “SETUP MANUAL” contained on the supplied
CD-ROM for “RS-232C Specifications and Commands”.
When connecting to a computer using an RS-232C serial control cable and \
a DIN-D-sub RS-232C adaptor
Note
•The RS-232C function may not operate if your computer terminal is not correctly set up. Refer to the
operation manual of the computer for details.
Info
•Do not connect the RS-232C cable to a port other than the RS-232C terminal on the computer. This may
damage your computer or projector.
• Do not connect or disconnect an RS-232C serial control cable to or from the computer while it is on. This
may damage your computer.
