Connections with the Personal Computer
Please check the matters described below when the image of the personal computer is not projected or when there
is projection but the image is not correct.
●
The image is not projected
When the external output signal from the personal computer is not input to the projector, "No signal being input" is displayed on
the display screen of the projector. Should this occur, please check the following matters.
1
Try restarting the personal computer.
When the projector is connected after the personal computer has been started, the connection of the projector might not be
recognized by the personal computer. When the projector has not been recognized, the external output signal from the per-
sonal computer will not be output and there will not be an image to project.
2
Check the functions of the personal computer.
Depending on the notebook computer, some computers will require an operation to output a signal from the external output
connector. If this operation is not performed, the external output signal from the notebook computer will not be output.
Please see the instruction manual of the notebook computer you are using and perform the operation that will output the
signal from the external output connector.
(Operation Example)
IBM PC/AT and DOS/V computers:
Press the [Fn] key + "any one of the [F1] to [F12] keys (noting that the operation will differ depending on the model)"
PC98 notebook computers later than the Nr Series (with the exception of the PC-98NX):
Press the "Suspend Resume" switch.

When the Image of the Personal Computer Screen Is Not Projected
●
The screen of the personal computer is correct, but the image is not projected properly
Please check the functions of the personal computer.
Even though the LCD screen of the notebook computer is properly displayed, the projected image might not be projected
properly. Due to restrictions of the notebook computer there will rarely be instances in which the setting of a simultaneous
display (i.e., simultaneous output of the external output signal while displaying the screen of the personal computer) will re-
sult in a signal that greatly deviates from the range supported by the projector and proper projection will not be possible.
Should this occur, a proper image will not be obtained even when adjustments are made with the projector.
In some instances, the personal computer screen will be properly projected by the projector when the simultaneous display
is cancelled and an operation is performed to output only the external output signal. Please see the instruction manual of
the notebook computer you are using for details.
When a moving image is displayed on a portion of the screen, it is possible that a portion of the moving image only is dis-
played black. Should this occur, please read the instruction manual of the personal computer carefully and set the personal
computer accordingly.
