Replace the old batteries with new batteries.

Preparing the Projector

This chapter explains how to install the projector and connect projection sources.

Installing the Projector

Installation Methods

The projector supports the following four different projection methods. Install the projector according to the conditions of the installation location.

• Project images from in front of the screen. (Front projection)

• Suspend the projector from a wall or ceiling and project im‐ ages from in front of a screen. (Front/Ceiling projection)

• Project images from behind a translucent screen. (Rear projec‐ tion)

• Suspend the projector from the ceiling and project images from behind a translucent screen. (Rear/Ceiling projection)

Warning

• A special method of installation is required when suspending the projector from a wall or ceiling. If it is not installed correctly, it could fall causing an accident and injury.

• If you use adhesives on the wall mount plate fixing points or the ceiling mount fixing points to prevent the screws from loosening, or if you use things such as lubricants or oils on the projector, the projector case may crack causing it to fall from its mount. This could cause serious injury to anyone under the mount and could damage the projector. When installing or adjusting the mount, do not use adhesives to prevent the screws from loosening and do not use lubricant or oil and so on.

Attention

• Do not use the projector on its side. This may cause malfunctions to occur.

• Do not cover the projector's air intake vent or air exhaust vent. If either of

the vents are covered, the internal temperature could rise and cause a fire.

• When installing the projector on a wall or on the ceiling, make sure

you use the correct tools for the installation method. s "Optional Accessories" p.118

• You can change the setting as follows by pressing down the [A/V Mute] button on the remote control for about five seconds.

FrontWFront/Ceiling RearWRear/Ceiling

• Set Rear or Rear/Ceiling from the configuration menu. s Extended - Projection p.64

Connecting Equipment

The port name, location, and connector orientation differ depending on the source being connected.

Connecting a Computer

To project images from a computer, connect the computer using one of the following methods.

When using the supplied computer cable

Connect the computer's display output port to the projector's Computer1 or Computer2 port. You can output audio from the projector's speaker by connecting the computer's audio output port to the projector's Audio1 or Audio2 port using a commercially available

audio cable.

When using a commercially available USB cable

Connect the computer's USB port to the projector's USB(TypeB) port. You can send the audio with the projected image.

When using a commercially available HDMI cable

Connect the computer's HDMI port to the projector's HDMI port. You can send the audio with the projected image.

You can switch the audio input by using Audio Input. s Extended - Operation - Audio Input p.64

Connecting Equipment

You can use the commercially available USB cable to connect the projector to a computer to project images from the computer.This function is called USB

Display. s "Projecting with USB Display" p.30

Connecting Image Sources

To project images from DVD players or VHS video and so on, connect to the projector using one of the following methods.

When using a commercially available video cable

Connect the video output port on the image source to the projector's Video port using a commercially available video cable. You can output audio from the projector's speaker by connecting the audio output port on the image source to the projector's Audio-L/R port using a commercially available

audio cable.

When using a commercially available S-video cable

Connecting Equipment

Connect the video output port on the image source to the projector's S-Video port using a commercially available video cable. You can output audio from the projector's speaker by connecting the audio output port on the image source to the projector's Audio-L/R port using a commercially available

audio cable.

When using the optional component video cable

s "Optional Accessories and Consumables" p.118

Connect the component output port on the image source to the projector's Computer1 or Computer2 port. You can output audio from the projector's speaker by connecting the image source's audio output port to the projector's Audio1 or Audio2 port using a commercially available

audio cable.

When using a commercially available HDMI cable

Connect the HDMI port on the image source to the projector's HDMI port using a commercially available HDMI cable. You can send the audio with the projected image.

You can switch the audio input by using Audio Input. s Extended - Operation - Audio Input p.64

Connecting Equipment

Attention

• If the input source is on when you connect it to the projector, it could cause a malfunction.

• If the orientation or shape of the plug differs, do not try to force it in. The device could be damaged or could malfunction.

Connecting Equipment

• If the source you want to connect to has an unusually shaped port, use the cable supplied with the device or an optional cable to connect to the projector.

• When using a commercially available 2RCA(L/R)/stereo mini-pin audio cable, make sure it is labeled "No resistance".

Connecting USB Devices

You can connect devices such as USB memory, the optional Document Camera, and USB compatible hard disks and digital cameras.

Using the USB cable supplied with the USB device, connect the USB device to the USB(TypeA) port on the projector.

When the USB device is connected, you can project image files on the USB memory or digital camera using Slideshow.

"Slideshow" p.103

If the Document Camera is connected while projecting images from another input port, press the [USB] button on the remote control, or the [Source Search] button on the control panel, to switch to images from the Document Camera.

"Automatically Detect Input Signals and Change the Projected Image (Source Search)" p.29

While projecting images from a USB device, if you want to connect an audio output device, connect it to the Audio2 port.

Connecting Equipment

Attention

• If you use a USB hub, operation may not be performed correctly. Devices such as digital cameras and USB devices should be connected to the projector directly.

• When connecting and using a USB-compatible hard disk, make sure you connect the AC adaptor supplied with the hard disk.

• Connect a digital camera or hard disk to the projector using a USB cable supplied with or specified for use with the device.

• Use a USB cable less than 3 m in length. If the cable exceeds 3 m, Slideshow may not function correctly.

Removing USB devices

After finishing projecting, remove USB devices from the projector. For devices such as digital cameras or hard disks, turn off the device and then remove it from the projector.

Connecting a microphone

You can output microphone audio from the projector's speaker by connecting a commercially available dynamic microphone.

• Plug-in-power is not supported.

• Adjust Mic Input Level if the microphone audio is difficult to hear, or if it is too loud resulting in a crackling sound.

s Settings - Mic Input Level p.63

• Make the following settings to output audio from a microphone when the projector is turned off.

Set Standby Mode to Communication On. s Extended - Standby Mode p.64 Set Standby Microphone to On. s Extended - Standby Microphone p.64

Connecting Equipment

Connecting External Equipment

You can output images and audio by connecting an external monitor or speaker.

When outputting images to an external monitor

Connect the external monitor to the projector's Monitor Out port using the cable supplied with the external monitor.

When outputting audio to an external speaker

Connect the external speaker to the projector's Audio Out port using a commercially available audio cable.

• If you set Standby Mode to Communication On, you can output images to an external monitor even if the projector is in standby mode.

s Extended - Standby Mode p.64

• Only analog RGB signals from the Computer1 port can be output to an external monitor. You cannot output signals input from other ports or component video signals.

• Setting gauges for functions such as Keystone, Configuration menu, or Help screens are not output to the external monitor.

• When the audio cable jack is inserted into the Audio Out port, audio stops being output from the projector's built-in speakers and switches to external

output.

Connecting a LAN Cable

Connect a LAN port on network hubs or other equipment to the projector's LAN port with a commercially available 100BASE-TX or 10BASE-T LAN cable.

Connecting Equipment

To prevent malfunctions, use a category 5 shielded LAN cable.

Connecting Equipment
