Notes: + Connecting computers other than the recommended types may result in damage to the projector, the computer, or both + Connect the audio from the computer to the COMPUTER AUDIO INPUT terminal.

4. Connecting to the COMPUTER RGB

AUDIO INPUT + RGB AUDIO INPUT accepts COMPUTER RGB input. + Connect a 3.5 mm Stereo Minijack-RCA L/R cable (not included) from the audio output terminal on the computer to the COMPUTER AUDIO IN terminal on the projector.

5. Connecting an external monitor

Connect your computer monitor to the projector's COM- PUTER RGB OUTPUT terminal to view images simulta- neously on the external monitor and the projection screen. Caution (Apple Macintosh) Do not connectthe COMPUTER RGB OUTPUT to any monitor except the following: Apple Color RGB Monitor 13"/14" (640 x480) or 16"/17" (832 x624) The output signal from the projector to the monitor should be the same as the input signal from the computer to the projector. Example: Input 13"/14" (640 x480) > Output (640 x480) Input 16"/17" (832 x624) + Output (832 x624) Note: + When using the projector with an external IBM-PC monitor, connect the monitor using the supplied cable. When using the projector with a Macintosh monitor, an optional adaptor cable is required. Before using any other type of monitor, carefully check the monitor's interface specifications and make sure that they match the specifications of the projector's interface. The external monitor output will only display an analog computer input signal. It will not display a digital or video input signal. To split the composite video signal, use a video distribution amplifier. This is available from your local dealer. The computer RGB output will only loop through the same signal connected to the computer RGB input. (VGA IN — VGA OUT, Mac IN — Mac OUT) E-17

Lamp/Maintenance Indicators Lamp BB The Lamp has a finite operating life. The lamp for this projector has a usable life of 2000 cumulative hours. This number may differ, however, depending on the ambient conditions. 1. When the lamp is nearing the end of its operating life, the picture and color quality will deteriorate. If the lamp is used for more than 1900 hours, the LAMP REPLACEMENT indicator will light red and “LAMP "will flash in yellow letters on the screen when you turn the projector on to alert you that it is time to replace the lamp. In this situation, replace the lamp (See pages 32 and 33). Note: The lamp usage time can be checked atthe On-Screen display. (See page 27.) Caution: Once you are alerted that the lamp requires replacement, be sure to replace the lamp.

2. When the number of hours the lamp is used reaches 2000, the power automatically turns off and the projector

enters the standby condition. If you turn on the power after the lamp has been used for 2000 hours, “LAMP "will flash on screen in red letters for five minutes and then the power will turn off.

PC control The personal computer can control the projector by connecting the two via an RS-232C cable (not supplied). Communication conditions Setthe serial port settings of the computer to match that of the table below. Signal format: Conforms to RS-232C standard. Baud rate: 9600bps Data length: 8 bits Parity bit: NON Stop bit: 1 bit Flow control: None Basic format Commands from the computer are sent in the following order: command, parameter, and return code. After the unit processes the command from the computer, it sends a response code to the computer. Command format [c1]c2[cs3]ca]r1|p2[r3]p4] Retum code (0DH) | N EN Lu Command 4-digits Parameter 4-digits Response code format Normal response [olk| [Retum code (0DH) | Problem response (communication error or incorrect command) [EÏRIR] [Retum code (0DH)| When more than one code is being sent, send each command only after the OK response code for the previous command from the unit is verified. Note: Using the computer control function of the unit, the liquid crystal projector conditions cannot be read to the computer. Therefore, confirm the conditions by transmitting the display commandés for each adjustment menu and checking the conditions atthe On-Screen Display. lfthe unit receives a command other than a menu display command, it will execute the command without displaying the On-Screen Display.
