Projector features

This projector is used to project various computer signals as well as NTSC / PAL / SECAM video signals onto a screen. It requires just a little space for installation and gets a large image from short distance. High Brightness Newly developed 165W UHB (Ultra High Brightness) lamp gives you a higher brightness image on a screen. The image can be still kept as bright and clean enough for use in bright rooms. Low Noise WHISPER mode is equipped for reducing acoustic noise to realize quieter operation. It is perfect for use in low luminance rooms where low noise is more important than brightness. Rich Connectivity This projector has a variety of I/O ports. It can be easily connected to many signal sources like PC, DVD and so on. The rich connectivity provides you more options to make your presentation impressive. Compact Body Even with its many features, this projector is extremely compact and slim, which gives you more exibility and usability to use it where you want.

WARNING Do not replace the lter cover during use or immediately after use. While the projector connects with a power supply, or the projector is in a high temperature state, handling could cause an electric shock, a re, a burn and/or malfunction to the projector.Before handling, make sure the power switch is off and the power cord is not plugged in, then wait at least 45 minutes.

Connecting your devices

CAUTION Turn off all devices prior to connecting them to the projector. Attempting to connect a live device to the projector may generate extremely loud noises or other abnormalities that may result in malfunction and/or damage to the device and/or projector. Use the accessory cable or a designated-type cable for the connection. Some cables have to be used with core set. A too long cable may cause a certain picture degradation. Please consult with your dealer for details. For cables that have a core only at one end, connect the core to the projector. Make sure that you connect devices to the correct port. Incorrect connection may result in malfunction and/or damage to the device and/or projector.
NOTE Whenever attempting to connect a laptop computer to the projector, be sure to activate the laptops RGB external image output (set the laptop to CRT display or to simultaneous LCD and CRT display). For details on how this is done, please refer to the instruction manual of the corresponding laptop computer. Secure the screws on the connectors and tighten. Some computers may have multiple display screen modes. Use of some of these modes will not be possible with this projector. For some RGB signal modes, the optional Mac adapter is necessary. When the image resolution is changed on a computer, depending on an input, automatic adjust function may take some time and may not be completed. In this case, you may not be able to see a check box to select Yes/No for the new resolution on Windows. Then the resolution will go back to the original. It might be recommended to use other CRT or LCD monitors to change the resolution. About Plug-and-Play capability Plug-and-Play is a system composed of the computer, its operating system and peripheral equipment (i.e. display devices). This projector is compatible with VESA DDC 2B. Plug-and-Play can be achieved by connecting this projector to computers that are VESA DDC (display data channel) compatible. Please take advantage of this function by connecting the accessory RGB cable to the RGB IN1 port (DDC 2B compatible). Plug-and-Play may not work properly if any other type of connection is attempted. Please use the standard drivers in your computer as this projector is a Plug-and-Play monitor.
