NOTE: The cabinet should be unplugged if the computer and projector will not be used for an
extended period.
Matching Computer Resolution to Projector Resolution
It's very important that computer and projector resolutions match. If they don't match, the on-
screen image may not properly fill the screen.
You must first ensure that the projector is set to its optimal image resolution, which is 1024 x
768 (XGA). While the projector's user manual may indicate that resolutions other than the
optimal one are permitted, you should avoid setting the projector to any other resolution than
1024 x 768. Next, ensure that the computer resolution is also set to 1024 x 768.
IMPORTANT: If the computer resolution is set to anything other than the optimal resolution, you
may not see the entire image, or the image may be too small to fill the screen, even with further
adjustments.
