Package Contents
Open the package and ensure that you have the following items:
Features
• Newly developed 0.95” 1080p DMD™ chip provides significantly improved optical efficiency
and excellent contrast ratio.
• Newly developed LVDS (Low voltage differential signal) chip eliminates Color Breaking
phenomena common with previous generation DLP™ LED projectors.
• Use of high-output LED realizes both high color purity and high brightness. Natural images
made possible by high color reproducibility can be created with high-brightness, powerful
expression capabilities.
• New i/p conversion algorithm enhances the performance of the motion detect i/p conversion.
• Extensive improvements on the jagged edges or slanted lines in moving images.
• New Edge Up-Scaling.
• As a result of reducing jagged edges and flickering when up-scaling edges of slanted lines,
even signals not reaching a panel resolution of 480i/p can be projected by converting them to
1920X1080 resolution images.
• New Film Mode Function.
• 3:2 pull down enhancement for 480i and 2:2 for 576i signals, and HDTV 1080i signals as well.
• Use of an HDMI/HDCP terminal enables all processes from input to signal processing and
projection to be performed digitally, resulting in the realization of all-digital projection without
any data loss due to analog conversion. This also supports the building of home theaters
using HTPC.

Cable
Using an S-Video or a Composite video cable,
a VCR, laser disc player or other video
equipment can be connected to INPUT 3 input
terminals.
Note
• The INPUT 3 (S-VIDEO) terminal uses a
video signal system in which the picture is
separated into color and luminance signals
to realize a higher-quality image. To view a
higher-quality image, use a commercially
available S-Video cable to connect the
INPUT 3 terminal on the projector and the
S-Video output terminal on the video
equipment.

CONNECTIONS AND SETUP
Connecting to an EE Color
Processor
Use two HDMI to HDMI cables when connecting
an HDMI video equipment to the projector with
an EE color processor.
Connecting the Projector to a Computer
Note
• For users using DVD player, DTV decoder
or other devices without HDMI outputs, it is
recommended to connect to a HDMI scaler.
The HDMI scaler is able to convert majority
of signals like DVI signals, PC generated
RGB signals, HD Component signals, SVideo and Composite Video signals into
HDMI signals.
Connecting to a Computer
Connect the projector to the computer
using the HD 15-pin VGA to VGA cable.
• Secure the connectors by tightening the
thumbscrews.
Note
• See page 48 “Computer Compatibility
Chart” for a list of computer signals
compatible with the projector. Use with
computer signals other than those listed
may cause some of the functions not to
work.
• A Macintosh adaptor may be required for
use with some Macintosh computers.
Contact your nearest Authorized Service
Center or Dealer.
• Depending on the computer you are using,
an image may not be projected unless the
signal output setting of the computer is
switched to the external output. Refer to the
computer operation manual for switching
the computer signal output settings.
