■ When Images on the Personal Computer Screen are not Projected Check the following when images on the personal computer screen are not projected or projected images are incorrect. ● When images are not projected When external output signals are input to the DT20 from the PC, "No signal" is displayed on the screen. When this is displayed, check the following. 1 Try restarting the personal computer. The DT20 is sometimes not recognized by the PC if it is connected after the PC is started up. If this happens, images are not projected as external output signals are not output from the PC. 2 Check the functions on the personal computer.

erify the functions of the notebook PC.
Even if the LCD screen of a notebook PC displays normal images, the projected images
may be displayed incorrectly. In most cases, because of the limitations of the notebook
PC, the simultaneous display function (the external output signals are sent out
simultaneously while the images are displayed on the PC screen) produces signals, which
do not satisfy the standard specification and are outside the range supported by the
projector. In this case, the incorrect display images can not be corrected even if the fine
adjustments are made at the projector side. The correct images may be projected if only
external output signals are provided without using the simultaneous display. Refer to the
user’s manual of your notebook PC for details.
When Images on the Personal Computer Screen are not Projected

projected images are incorrect.
When images are not projected
