6 MAKING THE CONNECTIONS
The projector may be connected in various ways to different equipment.
The following sections describe in detail how to connect to these systems.
See the illustration on the rear of the quick set-up card on how the various
system parts connect together.
Be aware of static electricity that may build up in the dry season and when
operating on synthetic carpets. Discharge any static electricity by touching
a metallic surface before you start.
Place the projector on a table at a suitable distance to the projection
screen. Select a screen with good reflectivity and avoid direct sunlight
shining in. Place the projector so that the image is visible to the whole
audience, and so that the unit does not obstruct the view. The projector is
supplied with long cables for high flexibility in placement.
Various cables are supplied or optionally available to connect to different
sources. Follow the list below in numerical order for a trouble-free set-up!
1. SWITCH OFF. Switch off all equipment before making all the
connections.
2. COMPUTER GRAPHICS ADAPTER. Computer graphics adapters use
different connectors depending on the actual computer system in use.
Connection to the projector is made through a basic SVGA cable and
appropriate adapters.
• PC. Use the SVGA cable directly to connect the graphics port
of the PC to the COMPUTER connector on the projector. If
needed, connect your monitor cable to the free branch on the
SVGA cable.
• MAC. Use the MAC adapters, as marked, on the computer end
of the SVGA cable to adapt to the graphics-port connector and
monitor connector on the MAC.
• NEC. Use the optional NEC adapters, as marked, on the
computer end of the SVGA cable to adapt to the graphics-port
connector and monitor connector on the NEC.

USER GUIDE SVGA DLP PROJECTOR
3. VIDEO. Video connects through different interfaces, depending on the
type of equipment and quality level of the video signal.
• COMPOSITE VIDEO. This is the most frequently used video
connection. Use the AV cable (supplied) to connect between
the yellow phono (also known as ‘RCA’ or ‘cinch’) connector on
the video source and the yellow VIDEO input connector on the
projector.
The AV cable also provides connection to stereo sound. The
stereo jack connects to the AUDIO input connector on the
projector and the red and white phono connectors on the video
source.
• SUPER VIDEO. Use the optionally available S-VIDEO cable to
connect to the video source. S-VIDEO may give a better
quality image than composite video.
Use the AV cable for sound connection as described above.
• SCART ADAPTER. Some video sources are provided with the
SCART adapter for video and audio output. The SCART
adapter (supplied) provides connection to the AV cable.
• RGB VIDEO. Some high end video sources have component
red, green and blue video outputs for a best possible image.
Some systems use BNC type connectors, other systems use
the older CGA or the VGA connector. Contact your dealer for
an adapter that is suitable for your source. Use the AV cable
for stereo sound connection.
4. MOUSE. To enable mouse control from the remote control, a
connection is made using a mouse cable and various adapters.
Connect the cable directly to the MOUSE connector on the projector.
Connect the appropriate adapter to the free end of the mouse cable at
the computer end as described below.
• SERIAL (RS 232). Use the serial PC adapter with a Y-split
branch for the local computer mouse. The serial adapter is
fitted with a 9 pin DSUB connector. Use an extra 9 to 25 pin
adapter (available from your dealer) if your computer has a 25
pin serial connector. Connect your computer mouse to the free
branch of the adapter if desired. With some computers, the
13
USER GUIDE SVGA DLP PROJECTOR
branched adapter may not work. For this purpose, an optional
straight serial adapter is available.
• PS/2. Use the PS/2 adapter that connects directly to your
computer mouse port. Running the computer mouse in parallel
is not possible, unless your computer itself has provision for
two mice simultaneously. You may consider using the above
serial adapter and run your mouse on the serial port instead to
be able to run your local mouse in parallel. This will require a
different mouse driver setting. Please consult your computer
documentation or local dealer for details.
• MAC. Use the MAC mouse adapter to connect to the mouse
port on your MAC computer.
5. MAINS POWER. Connect the mains cord to the projector and all other
equipment in the set-up.
6. SWITCH ON. Switch on the projector first, then the computer and video
sources. It is important to switch the projector on first in order for
correct detection of the projector as a display and mouse peripheral
device to the computer.

1. ZOOM, FOCUS AND POSITION IMAGE. The projection lens has a
motorized zoom and focus adjustment. The controls are directly
accessible on the projector keyboard or on the remote control by
invoking the menu system, SET-UP, ZOOM or FOCUS and press
ENTER. Place the projector at a suitable distance to the projection
screen, alternatively zoom the image, to obtain the desired screen size.
(See the Technical Data section for max and min projection distances.)
Focus the image and observe that the picture elements (pixels) become
sharp on screen. The projector has two adjustable feet so that the
image can be shifted to a desired height on the wall. Tilt the projector
body in the desired position and press the foot-release buttons. If
necessary, fine adjust the height by screwing the feet either direction.
