Connecting to Video Equipment or a Computer
You can enjoy high picture quality by connecting a DVD player/recorder, Blu-ray Disc player/recorder, or PlayStation®
equipped with HDMI output to the HDMI input of the unit.
When making connections, be sure to do the following:
• Turn off all equipment before making any connections.
• Use the proper cables for each connection.
• Insert the cable plugs properly; poor connection at the plugs may cause a malfunction or poor picture quality. When
pulling out a cable, be sure to pull it out from the plug, not the cable itself.
• Refer to the operating instructions of the connected equipment.

HDMI cable (not supplied)
: Video signal flow
Notes
• Use a Premium High Speed HDMI cable. If using a cable other than a Premium High Speed cable, 4K video images may not be properly
displayed.
• When connecting an HDMI cable to the unit, make sure the V mark on the upper part of the HDMI input of the unit and the v mark on the
connector of the cable are faced at each other.
• If the picture from equipment connected to the unit with an HDMI cable is not correct, check the settings of the connected equipment.
• If you set your computer, such as a notebook type, to output the signal to both computer’s display and this equipment, the picture of the
equipment may not appear properly. Set your computer to output the signal to only the external monitor. For details, refer to the computer’s
operating instructions supplied with your computer. For settings of the computer, consult with the manufacturer of the computer.
When you monitor and control the projector via the network, access the Setup page of the projector (page 33) via a Web browser and enable
the desired control protocol.

Watching 3D Video Images
You can enjoy powerful 3D video images, such as from 3D
games and 3D Blu-ray Discs, using the Active 3D Glasses.
1 Turn on the HDMI equipment for 3D compatibility
connected to the unit, then play the 3D content.
For details on how to play 3D content, refer to the
operating instructions for the connected equipment.
2 Turn on the unit and project the 3D video image.
For details on how to project the image, see
“Projecting the Picture” (page 11).
3 Turn on the 3D glasses, and then put them on so that
they fit comfortably.
For details on how to use the 3D glasses, see “Using
the 3D Glasses” (page 12).
Tip
The factory default setting for “2D-3D Display Sel.” is “Auto” to
allow projecting 3D video images automatically when the unit
detects 3D signals.
Notes
• It may not be possible to display 3D video image, depending on
the type of signal. Set the “2D-3D Display Sel.” to “3D,” and “3D
Format” to “Side-by-Side” or “Over-Under” to suit the format of
the 3D content you want to watch (page 27).
• Use the 3D glasses within the communication range (page 12).
• There are differences in perception of 3D video images among
individuals.
• When the temperature of the usage environment is low, the 3D
effect may be diminished.
Adjusting/Setting the 3D functions
You can adjust/set the 3D functions by pressing the 3D
button on the remote control or with the “3D Settings” of
the Function menu. For details, see “3D Settings”
(page 27).

Using the 3D Glasses
Using the Picture
1 Turn on the 3D glasses, and register them on the unit.
For details on how to register the 3D glasses, refer to
the operating instructions supplied with the 3D
glasses.
2 Put on the 3D glasses.
3 Turn toward the screen.
Precautions for use
Misoperation may occur if:
• The viewing position is too far from the projector
• There are other communication devices, such as a
wireless LAN (IEEE802.11 b/g/n) or a microwave with
a bandwidth of 2.4 GHz, near the unit
3D glasses communication range
The following figure indicates the communication range of
the 3D glasses. If you try to watch 3D video images from
a distance greater than the communication range or install
the unit outside the communication range, the 3D glasses
may not be able to display the images properly. Also, the
distance varies depending on the environment of the room
and installation environment of the unit.
