                       BRAVO NOTEBOOK AND SHARP PROJECTION PANEL


PROBLEM:        The Bravo Notebook does not function correctly with the Sharp
                Projection Panel. The video image that appears on the Bravo
                Notebook is not properly reproduced on the Sharp Projection
                Panel with the RGB loop-through feature.  The panel does not
                display what is appearing on the Bravo Notebook.

CAUSE:          There is an incompatibility with the default cable provided
                with the projection panel and the Bravo Notebook.

SYSTEMS
AFFECTED:       All Bravo Notebooks using a Sharp Projection Panel model
                numbers:

                     QA-1100

                     QA-1500
                     QA-1650

                and the QA cable.  Then connect the QA cable to the projection
                panel's COMPUTER IN port.
