Connections Notebook computers and resolution standards PG-M10X The unit is designed to project industry standardized video such as VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association) or XGA (eXtended Graphics Array). Notebook computers do not use industry standards. They use whatever timing is necessary to match their local LCD display. The end result is typically not standard. By turning off your notebook's display, the timing parameters are a bit more like the real VESA or XGA signal. PG-M10S The unit is designed to project industry standardized video such as VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association) or VGA (Video Graphics Array). Notebook computers do not use industry standards. They use whatever timing is necessary to match their local LCD display. The end result is typically not standard. By turning off your notebook's display, the timing parameters are a bit more like the real VESA or VGA signal. Receiving Video Output from Personal Computers When a notebook type personal computer is connected for use in projecting, a certain amount of knowledge is necessary for cable connection, startup and the succeeding operations. Please refer to the instruction manual of your notebook type personal computer when performing the following operations. 1. Make sure that this unit is receiving signals from your notebook type personal computer. The external signal may not be output even though the LCD screen of the notebook type personal computer indicates such output. Check by using the "INFORMATION" menu displayed by this unit (page 24, 25). If 0 kHz is displayed, there is no external output signal from the personal computer. 2. If the notebook type personal computer is not outputting the external signal, perform the following operation. For IBM PC/AT machines, press either the [Fn] key or one of the [F1] - [F12] keys. When displayed on the LCD display of a notebook type personal computer and this unit at the same time, the projected video may not be correct even the LCD display is normal. In such case, turn off the notebook type personal computer display and try using only the external output mode. (In some cases, external output only can be set by performing step 2 above or by closing the LCD display.) 17
