Notes on connections
B
Read the instruction manual for each peripheral device carefully before connecting it.
B
Turn off the power supply for all peripheral devices before making any connections.
B
If the cables necessary for connection are not included with the peripheral device or
available as an option, you may need to prepare a proper cable for the device concerned.
B
If there is a lot of jitter in the video signal, the projected image may flicker. In such cases,
it will be necessary to connect a TBC (time base corrector).
B
Refer to the list on page 62 for details on compatible signals which can be input to the
projector.
B
Only one audio system circuit is available for the AUDIO IN L-R connectors, so if you
change the audio input source, you will need to remove and insert the appropriate plugs.
