Connecting to an External Monitor
Checking Projected Images on an External Monitor
While the Projector is at Standby
(Standby Monitor Out)
"Standby mode" is the mode where the projector's power cable is
connected to the projector but the [Power] button has not been pressed (the
projection lamp is not turned on).
If the image signals from the connected video source are still being input
even though the projector is in standby mode, the images can be displayed
on an external monitor so that you can check the signals, and you can also
change the video source. When the projector's power is turned on, the
images that are being displayed on the external monitor will then be
projected.
To use the standby monitor out function, change the "Standby Mode"
setting in the "Advanced1" menu to "Network ON". p.91
TIP
• Setting gauges for functions such as keystone correction and
configuration menu and help menu displays are also output to the
external monitor.
• If the A/V mute function is operating and the projected images have
been muted, the input signal images can still be displayed on the
external monitor, and the [Source] buttons on the remote control and
the projector's control panel can be used to change the signal source.
To display the input signal images on the external monitor while the
A/V mute function is active, change the "A/V Mute" setting in the
"Setting" menu to "Black". If the "A/V Mute" setting is "Blue" or
"Logo", the external monitor display will be the same as the image
projected.
• When keystone correction is carried out, distortion will appear in the
images displayed on the external monitor.
• The settings that have been made using the "Color Mode", "Color
Adjustment", "Black Level", "White Level", "Rear Proj." and
"Ceiling" menus will not appear in the images that are displayed on
the external monitor.
TIP
Any sound being output from the projector's built-in speaker or from
external speakers will be muted while standby monitor out is being
used.
