Connecting the 
Projector
When you connect the projector, 
make sure to:
• Turn off all equipment before making any 
connections.
• Use the proper cables for each connection.
• Insert the cable plugs firmly; loose 
connections may increase noise and 
reduce performance of picture signals. 
When pulling out a cable, be sure to pull it 
out by the plug, not the cable itself.
When connecting to a LAN using a LAN 
cable, see “Operating Instructions for 
Network” stored on the CD-ROM.
This section describes how to connect the 
projector to a computer.
For more information, refer to the 
computer’s instruction manual.
To connect a computer (Analog)
A Stereo audio connecting cable (not supplied)
 
(Use a no-resistance cable.)
B HD D-sub 15-pin cable (not supplied)
• The projector accepts VGA, SVGA, XGA, 
WXGA, SXGA, SXGA+ and UXGA 
signals. However, we recommend that you 
set the output mode of your computer to 
SXGA+ (VPL-FE40) or XGA (VPL-FX40) 
mode for the external monitor.
• If you set your computer, such as a notebook 
computer, to output the signal to both your 
computer’s display and the external monitor, 
the picture of the external monitor may not 
appear properly. Set your computer to output 
the signal to only the external monitor.
