6. Installation and Connections

WARNING

* Installing your projector on the ceiling must be done by a qualified technician. Contact your NEC dealer for more information.
* Do not attempt to install the projector yourself.
- Only use your projector on a solid, level surface. If the projector falls to the ground, you can be injured and the projector severely damaged.
- Do not use the projector where temperatures vary greatly. The projector must be used at temperatures between 41°F (5°C) and 104°F (40°C) (Eco mode selected automatically at 95°F to 104°F/35°C to 40°C).
- Do not expose the projector to moisture, dust, or smoke. This will harm the screen image.
- Ensure that you have adequate ventilation around your projector so heat can dissipate. Do not cover the vents on the side or the front of the projector.

Reflecting the Image

Using a mirror to reflect your projector's image enables you to enjoy a much larger image when a smaller space is required. Contact your NEC dealer if you need a mirror system. If you're using a mirror system and your image is inverted, use the MENU and ▲▼◀▶ buttons on your projector cabinet or your remote control to correct the orientation. (→ page 71)

② Making Connections

Connecting Your Computer

Computer cables, HDMI and USB can be used to connect to a computer. The connection cable is not enclosed with the projector. Please get ready a suitable cable for the connection.

NOTE: Signals supported by Plug & Play (DDC2)

INPUT
COMPUTER IN HDMI 1 IN HDMI 2 IN
analog digital digital
Yes Yes Yes

6. Installation and Connections

NOTE: The projector is not compatible with video decoded outputs of the NEC ISS-6020 switcher.

NOTE: An image may not be displayed correctly when a Video source is played back via a commercially available scan converter. This is because the projector will process a video signal as a computer signal at the default setting. In that case, do the following.

* When an image is displayed with the lower and upper black portion of the screen or a dark image is not displayed correctly:

Project an image to fill the screen and then press the AUTO ADJ. button on the remote control or the projector cabinet.

Enabling the computer's external display

Displaying an image on the notebook PC's screen does not necessarily mean it outputs a signal to the projector. When using a PC compatible laptop, a combination of function keys will enable/disable the external display. Usually, the combination of the "Fn" key along with one of the 12 function keys gets the external display to come on or off. For example, NEC laptops use Fn + F3, while Dell laptops use Fn + F8 key combinations to toggle through external display selections.

Cautions when using a DVI signal

- When the computer has a DVI output terminal, use a commercially available converter cable to connect the computer to the projector's HDMI 1 or HDMI 2 input terminal (only digital video signals can be input).

NOTE: When Viewing a DVI Digital Signal

• Turn off the power of the computer and projector before connecting.
- When a video deck is connected via a scan converter, etc., the display may not be correct during fast-forwarding and rewinding.

- Use a DIL-to-HDMI cable compliant with DOWC /Digital Display Working Group DIL /Digital Visual Interface revision 1.0 step.

Displaying an image on the notebook PC's screen does not necessarily mean it outputs a signal to the projector. When using a PC compatible laptop, a combination of function keys will enable/disable the external display. Usually, the combination of the "Fn" key along with one of the 12 function keys gets the external display to come on or off. For example, NEC laptops use Fn + F3, while Dell laptops use Fn + F8 key combinations to toggle through external display selections.

• Non-standard signal output from the computer

If the output signal from a notebook PC is not an industry standard, the projected image may not be displayed correctly. Should this happen, deactivate the notebook PC's LCD screen when the projector display is in use. Each notebook PC has a different way of deactivate/reactivate the local LCD screens as described in the previous step. Refer to your computer's documentation for detailed information.

• Image displayed is incorrect when using a Mac

When using a Mac with the projector, set the DIPswitch of the Mac adapter (not supplied with the projector) according to your resolution. After setting, restart your Mac for the changes to take affect.

For setting display modes other than those supported by your Mac and the projector, changing the DIP switch on a Mac adapter may bounce an image slightly or may display nothing. Should this happen, set the DIP switch to the 13" fixed mode and then restart your Mac. After that, restore the DIP switches to a displayable mode and then restart the Mac again.

NOTE: A Video Adapter cable manufactured by Apple Inc. is needed for a MacBook which does not have a mini D-Sub 15-pin terminal.

• Mirroring on a MacBook

* When using the projector with a MacBook, output may not be set to 1024 × 768 unless "mirroring" is off on your MacBook. Refer to owner's manual supplied with your Mac computer for mirroring.

- Folders or icons are hidden on the Mac screen

Folders or icons may not be seen on the screen. Should this happen, select [View] → [Arrange] from the Apple

⑦ Using the Computer Cable (VGA) to Operate the Projector (Virtual Remote Tool)

Using the utility software "Virtual Remote Tool" that is available to download from our web site, Virtual Remote screen (or toolbar) can be displayed on your computer screen.

This will help you perform operations such as projector's power on or off and signal selection via the computer cable (VGA), serial cable, or LAN connection. Only via serial or LAN connection it is also used to send an image to the projector and register it as the logo data of the projector. After registering it, you can lock the logo to prevent it from changing.

Control Functions

Power On/Off, signal selection, picture freeze, picture mute, audio mute. Logo transfer to the projector, and remote control operation on your PC.

Virtual Remote screen Toolbar

For getting the Virtual Remote Tool, please visit our web site and download it: https://www.nec-display.com/dl/en/index.html

• When [COMPUTER] is selected from your source selection, the Virtual Remote screen or the toolbar will be displayed as well as your computer screen.
• Use the supplied computer cable (VGA) to connect the COMPUTER IN terminal directly with the monitor output terminal of the computer to use Virtual Remote Tool.

Using a switcher or other cables than the supplied computer cable (VGA) may cause failure in signal communication.

VGA cable terminal:

Pin Nos. 12 and 15 are required for DDC/CI.

• Virtual Remote Tool may not work depending on your computer's specifications and version of graphic adapters or drivers.
• To run Virtual Remote Tool on Windows 8.1, Windows 8 and Windows XP, "Microsoft .NET Framework Version 2.0" is required.
The Microsoft .NET Framework Version 2.0, 3.0 or 3.5 is available from Microsoft's web page. Download and install it on your computer.
- Logo data (graphics) that can be sent to the projector with Virtual Remote Tool has the following restrictions:

(Only via serial or LAN connection)

- File size: Less than 1 MB

- Image size (resolution):

ME401W/ME361W/ME331W/ME301W: Horizontal 1280 × vertical 800 dots or less

ME401X/ME361X/ME331X/ME301X: Horizontal 1024 × vertical 768 dots or less

- Number of colors: 256 colors or less

- To put the default "NEC logo" back in the background logo, you need to register it as the background logo by using the image file (ME401W/ME361W/ME331W/ME301W: /Logo/necpj_bbwx.bmp, ME401X/ME361X/ME331X/ME301X: /Logo/necpj_bb_x.bmp) included on the supplied NEC Projector CD-ROM.

TIP:

• Virtual Remote Tool can be used with a LAN and a serial connection. USB connection is not supported by Virtual Remote Tool.
