Computer Compatibility Chart
Note
•This projector may not be able to display images from notebook computers in simultaneous (CRT/LCD)
mode. Should this occur, turn off the LCD display on the notebook computer and output the display data in
“CRT only” mode. Details on how to change display modes can be found in your notebook computer’s
operation manual.
•When this projector receives 640 × 350 VESA format VGA signals, “640 × 400” appears on the screen.
•When projecting the RGB interlace signal using INPUT 1 with “Signal Type” set to “RGB”, the image may not
be projected as desired. In this case, select either INPUT 2 (S-Video) or INPUT 3 (Video). •Multiple signal support
Horizontal Frequency: 24–70 kHz, Vertical Frequency: 43–75 Hz, Pixel Clock: 12–80 MHz
•Compatible with sync on green signal
•SVGA, XGA compatible in intelligent compression
The following is a list of modes that conform to VESA.  However, this projector supports other signals
that are not VESA standards.

Cleaning the projector

Be sure to unplug the power cord before cleaning
the projector.

The cabinet as well as the operation panel is made
of plastic. Avoid using benzene or thinner, as these
can damage the finish on the cabinet.

Do not use volatile agents such as insecticides on
the projector.
Do not attach rubber or plastic items to the projec-
tor for a long time.
The effects of some of the agents in the plastic may
cause damage to the quality or finish of the projector.

Wipe off dirt gently with a soft flannel cloth.

When the dirt is hard to remove, soak a cloth in a
mild detergent diluted with water, wring the cloth
well and then wipe the projector.
Strong cleaning detergents may discolour, warp or
damage the coating on the projector.
Make sure to test on a small, inconspicuous area
on the projector before use.

Cleaning the lens

Use a commercially available blower or lens clean-
ing paper (for glasses and camera lenses) for clean-
ing the lens. Do not use any liquid type cleaning
agents, as they may wear off the coating film on the
surface of the lens.

As the surface of the lens can easily get damaged,
be sure not to scrape or hit the lens.
Cleaning the exhaust and intake vents

Use a vacuum cleaner to clean dust from the ex-
haust vent and the intake vent.

Glossary
Aspect Ratio
Width and height ratio of an image. The normal
aspect ratio of a computer and video image is 4:3.
There are also wide images with an aspect ratio
of 16:9 and 21:9.
Auto Sync
Optimises projected computer images by auto-
matically adjusting certain characteristics.
Background
Initial setting image projected when no signal is
being output.
CINEMA ZOOM
Mode that cuts out the top/bottom blank bands
and projects a wide screen image.
Clock
Clock adjustment is used to adjust vertical noise
when clock level is incorrect.
CLR Temp (Colour temperature)
Function that can be used to adjust the colour tem-
perature to suit the type of image input to the pro-
jector. Decrease the colour temperature to create
warmer, reddish images for natural flesh tones,
or increase to create cooler, bluish images for a
brighter picture.
Gamma
Image quality enhancement function that offers a
richer image by brightening the darker portions of
the image without altering the brightness of the
brighter portions. You can select four different
modes: Standard, Cinema1, Cinema2 and
Brighten.
Keystone Correction
Function to digitally correct a distorted image
when the projector is set up at an angle.
Lens shift
Function to adjust the position of the projection
image by using the lens shift lever to move the
lens from side to side and up and down (360°).
Phase
Phase shift is a timing shift between isomorphic
signals with the same resolution. When phase level
is incorrect, the projected image typically displays
horizontal flicker.
RS-232C terminal
Controls the projector from the computer.
Resize
Allows you to modify or customize the picture dis-
play mode to enhance the input image. You can
select three different modes: STRETCH, SIDE
BAR and CINEMA ZOOM.
STRETCH
Mode that displays the image fully on a 16:9
screen.
