Connecting the Projector
When making connections, be sure to do the following:
.
Turn off all equipment before making any connections.
.
Use the proper cables for each connection.
.
Insert the cable plugs properly; plugs that are not fully inserted often
generate noise. When pulling out a cable, be sure to pull it out from the plug,
not the cable itself.
This section describes how to connect the projector to a computer.
For more information, refer to the computer’s instruction manual.
. The projector accepts VGA, SVGA, XGA, and SXGA signals. However, we
recommend that you set the output mode of your computer to SVGA (VPL-CS2) or
XGA (VPL-CX1) mode for the external monitor.
. If you set your computer, such as a notebook type, to output the signal to both your
computer’s display and the external monitor, the picture of the external monitor may
not appear properly. Set your computer to output the signal to only the external
monitor.
For details, refer to the computer’s operating instructions supplied with your
computer.
. Supplied mouse cable may not work properly according to your computer.
