• For connection to the DVI-D terminal, use a commercially available DVI cable.
• Select DVI as the input source.
• Only RGB signals are supported. Component video signals are not supported.
• HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection), developed by Intel Corporation, is a method to encrypt digital

When you connect this projector and a DVI-Digital device (such as a DVD player) via the DVI terminal, black
color may appear light and pale, depending on the type of the connected device.
• This depends on the black level setting of the connected device. There are two kinds of methods to digitally trans-
fer image data, in which different black level settings are employed respectively. Therefore, the specifi cations of the
signals output from DVD players differ, depending on the type of the digital data transfer method they use.
• Some DVD players are provided with a function to switch the methods to output DVI-Digital signals. When your
DVD player is provided with such function, set it as follows.
