Set “Input-A Signal Sel.” in the SET SETTING menu to “Auto” or “Computer.” If the input signal
does not appear properly, set it to “Computer.” (1 page 39)
The projector accepts VGA, SVGA, XGA, SXGA, SXGA+, WXGA signals. However, we
recommend that you set the output mode of your computer to WXGA mode for the external
monitor.
To connect a Macintosh computer equipped with a video output connector of a type having two
rows of pins, use a commercially available plug adaptor.
If you set your computer, such as a notebook type, to output the signal to both computer’s display
and the external monitor, the picture of the monitor may not appear properly. Set your computer
to output the signal only to the external monitor.
For details, refer to the computer’s operating instructions supplied with your computer. For
settings of the computer, consult with the manufacturer of the computer.
The HDMI connector of this projector is not compatible with DSD (Direct Stream Digital) Signal
