DVI connection Was adjusting the ceiling mount for my projector and disconnected the DVI cable from the adaptor to remove the projector. When I reconnected everything I could no longer receive a signal from my DVD player via DVI.

The PG-F320W has a DVI-I port between the VGA/Component input and the VGA output. You will need an HDMI to DVI cable or a HDMI to DVI adapter and either an HDMI or a DVI cable. If you use the audio input of the projector, you will also need the audio cable between the computer and the projector. (Make sure to disable the HDMI as the audio playback device. In Windows, go to the Hardware and Sound Control Panel. Then go down to Sound and Manage Audio Devices. Click on the Playback tab and check your output device. Click on Start for Windows 7 and earlier, Windows Key + X for Windows 8. Then select Control Panel.)

Monoprice.com has good prices for most cables. The HDMI to DVI cables are here: http://www.monoprice.com/Category?c_id=102&cp_id=10231 .

The manual for the PG-F320W is available here: http://www.sharp-world.com/products/data_projector/pgf320w/pdf/PGF320W_ex1_en.pdf . See page 21 for the DVI cable connection information. See page 61 for video resolutions that the projector can handle.

I hope this helps.

try it without the ups unit, just in case the ups unit is dodgy

Mine has been in place for about three years. Because the ceiling was open I was able to create a connection for a tripod head on the ceiling and then using a STRONG tripod head and some small bolts (longer than the originals) I mounted an external base and with the tripod head fitting dttached to the projector it just became a matter of running the various connector cables from the sources I use that require projection to my wall.

first, find out the distance range on your projector for the best fitting image on your wall. next, what type of ceiling? if it's a drop ceiling, use a plate to span the 2 feet between braces and clamp it to them. and it's always safe to attach a safety cable from the mount to something sturdy, like wood or heavier metal. if you are putting it on a drywall ceiling, find a stud to screw it in to. do not use drywall anchors to hold it. if you can get above the drywall, use a backer board (2x4 or plywood, 1/2" or thicker) and screw the mount through the drywall into that. the other end of the mount screw into the bottom of the projector (3 or 4 m4 holes should be already on the bottom of the projector. use the screws provided. you'll have to adjust the mount so it matches the projector holes. once it's mounted, you'll have to adjust the image. go into the menu and select ceiling image, and adjust the keystone. pop in a movie and enjoy!

it does do dvi-d for computer, but does not handle high-definition video. it does not have the same resolution.

there are three screw holes on the bottom of the projector, 2 in the back by the feet and one in the front. they take a standard size, I think it is a 6x4....

I had a infocus projector mounted to the ceiling and took it down this weekend and put the hc1600 in using the same screw and same adjustable ceiling mount.

Depends on the connections you have on both. Most MacBook Pros have a DVI connector on the side. If the IBM projector takes that sort of input, then all you need is that cable.
If the IBM projector has a VGA input, then you'll need an adaptor from DVI to VGA.
(VGA input is standard monitor looking connector.)

it works if you do it in bootcamp. but have to select external monitor instead of digital display under the intel graphics control panel. does anyone know of such an option under OSX?

it sounds like the A/V reciever does not upconvert the component signal to HDMI. Not many do. The Marantz recievers will (SR6001, SR8001, etc..). Also bear in mind that HDMI cables are finicky and may require amplification over a few meters long.
