Obtaining an External Output Signal from a Notebook Computer.
When projection will be with a notebook computer connected, knowledge will be required for the cable connection and notebook
computer startup procedure as well as the operation that follows notebook startup. Please consult the instruction manual of your
notebook computer or the on-line help while performing the following procedure.
1 Check whether a signal is being sent from the notebook computer to the projector.
An indication appearing on the liquid crystal display of the notebook computer does not necessarily mean that an external output
signal is- being output.
Reference: When the frequency under [Info.] of the projector menu is displayed as 0 kHz, 0 Hz, it indicates that an external
output signal is not being output from the personal computer. → Page E-43 "Viewing the Lamp Timer/Resolution and Frequency"
2 Should a signal not be output from the notebook computer, please try the operation described
below.
For an IBM PC/AT, DOS/V computer, press the [Fn] key plus any one of the [F1] to [F12] keys. (See the table below.)

Connecting Video Equipment and Personal Computers
Note: When the liquid crystal display of the notebook computer and the projector are displayed at the same time, the projected image might not be correct even
though the liquid crystal screen shows a proper display. Should this occur, stop the simultaneous display of the notebook computer and try the mode with external
output only. (Try an operation such as that described in aforementioned Step 2 and try closing the liquid crystal panel which might result in external output only.)
