Connecting the Projector to Other Equipment
Before connecting, ensure that the power cord of the projector is unplugged from the AC outlet
and turn off the equipment to be connected. After making all connections, turn on the projector
and then the other pieces of equipment. When connecting a computer, ensure that it is the last
equipment to be turned on after all the connections are made.
IMPORTANT: Ensure that the appropriate
input mode has been selected on the
projector before you turn on the connected
equipment.
For more details of connection and cables, refer
to the operation manual of the connected
equipment.
You may need other cables or connectors not

When using the ø3.5 mm mono audio cable, the volume level will be half of when using the ø3.5 mm

When connecting the projector to a compatible computer other than a PC (VGA/SVGA/XGA/SXGA/UXGA) or
Macintosh (i.e. Workstation), a separate cable may be needed. Please contact your dealer for more information.
See page 71 “Compatibility Chart” for a list of computer signals compatible with the projector. Use with
computer signals other than those listed may cause some of the functions to not work.
A Macintosh adaptor may be required for use with some Macintosh computers. Contact your nearest Macintosh Dealer.
Depending on the computer you are using, an image may not be projected unless the
computer’s external output port is switched on (e.g. Press “Fn” and “F5” keys
simultaneously when using a SHARP notebook computer). Refer to the specifi c instructions in
your computer’s operation manual to enable your computer’s external output port.
