2.Place the projector the correct distance from the screen. The distance between the
projector and the screen determines the actual image size. Use the general
guidelines below to determine the correct distance.

EN-12 ○○○○○○○○○○○ User’s Manual Projector Connecting to a Computer The projector will always project at XGA (1024 x 768) resolution. (XGA is the native resolution of the projector.) However, you can connect the projector to a computer source capable of displaying VGA (640 x 480), SVGA (800 x 600), XGA or SXGA (1280 x 1024) resolutions. The projector will resize VGA, SVGA, and SXGA inputs for XGA projection. The types of computers supported by this projector include IBM, Macintosh and Apple compatible laptop or desktop PCs (PC compatibles). Note: If the input source is Computer, it can produce MONITOR OUT function. Projector IN OUT Computer Computer Cable DVI or VGA OUT
EN-13 ○○○○○○○○○○○ . English . User’s ManualProjector Connecting to a Video Source You can connect the projector to almost any common video source - VHS player, DVD player, camcorder, laser disc player or any other compatible video image source. The projector can accept composite, component, or S-Video signals: Composite video is characterized by a single-pin “RCA-type” video jack, usually colored yellow. Component video (YCbCr) is less common and features three “RCA-type” video jacks, typically colored green, blue and red. S-Video is readily identified by a single connector with four small pins. You can connect the projector simultaneously to composite, component, and S- Video sources. You can select which video source to project using the control panel or remote controller. If the Auto Search feature is ON (see later sections of this manual), the projector will automatically detect and select a source. The projector supports NTSC, PAL and SECAM video formats. The projector will automatically detect and identify the video format. Note, however, whereas the projector can accept multiple simultaneous sources it can only accept one video format at a time. Note: The projector is not compatible with a cable TV-style coaxial “F” connector. S-Video Cable AV Composite CableR/W Y Cb Cr (Component Video Cable) DVD Player Video out VCRINOUT YOUT IN OUT
