configuration to use for your presentation.)
CAUTION • Incorrect connecting could result in fire or electrical shock. Please
read the "Product Safety Guide" and this "Operator's Guide".
ATTENTION
• Whenever attempting to connect other devices to the projector, please thoroughly
read the manual of each device to be connected.
• TURN OFF ALL DEVICES prior to connecting them to the projector. Attempting to
connect a live device to the projector may generate extremely loud noises or other
abnormalities that may result in malfunction and/or damage to the device and/or
projector. Refer to the “TECHNICAL” for the pin assignment of connectors and
