Note to CATV System Installer:
This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer’s attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC that provides
1) Read these instructions before using, connecting or adjusting this product.
2) Keep these instructions for future reference.
3) Heed all warnings on the product and in this Operating Instructions manual.
4) Follow all instructions carefully.
5) Do not use this apparatus near water. For example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in
a wet basement or near a swimming pool, and the like. Do not place objects filled with water, such as a vase or
the like, on top of this unit.
6) Clean only with a dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.
7) Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
Openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation to ensure reliable operation and to protect it from
overheating. Never block openings by placing the product on a bed, sofa or similar surfaces.
8) Do not install near any heat source such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus
(including amplifiers) that produces heat. Do not install in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack,
unless proper ventilation is provided or the manufacturer’s instructions have been adhered to.
9) Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two
blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding
prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit
into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
10) Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles,
and the point where they exit from the apparatus.
11) Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
12) Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or
sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus
combination to avoid injury from tip-over.
13) Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
14) Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been
damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects
have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate
normally, or has been dropped.
15) Because the temperature of the lamp unit is elevated immediately after its use, a direct touch to it may cause
burns. Replace the lamp unit only after it has cooled.

How to connect the HDMI input terminal
About HDMI
HDMI is the first all digital consumer electronics A/V interface that supports several uncompressed standard,
enhanced and high definition video format as well as all existing multi-channel audio formats. One jack supports
both video and audio information. The HDMI/HDCP*1 input can be connected to an EIA/CEA 861/861B*2 compliant
consumer electronic device, such as a set top box or DVD player equipped with a HDMI output connection. By
inputting a High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) high definition picture source to the HDMI terminal of
this unit, high definition pictures can be displayed on the screen in their digital form. The HDMI input terminal is not
intended to be used with personal computers. This unit is compatible with 1080i, 720p, 480p and 480i formats. Select
the output of the connected device to match that of the unit.

Procedure
1 Connect the HDMI output from the set top box or a DVD player to the HDMI input on the back of the unit.
• If you cannot display the picture because your Digital Set Top Box does not have a Digital Out terminal setting, use the
Component Video Input (or the S-Video Input or Video Input). In this case, the picture will be displayed as an analog signal.
2 Press TV/VIDEO to select HDMI input.
By inputting a High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection high-definition picture source to the HDMI IN terminals of
this Projection Display, high-definition pictures can be displayed on the screen in their digital form. (This terminal is
for use in the future when High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection DVD players and D-VHS are put on the market.)
Notes:
• Select the HDMI input position by pressing the TV/VIDEO button. (P. 32)
• The HDMI IN terminals can only be used with 1080i, 720p, 480p and 480i picture signals.
• If there is no audio, check if the source equipment has PCM output. If not, please use analog connections.
• Be sure HDMI is securely connected. If not, picture noise and/or incorrect picture display may result.
