Warni ng
•THIS APPARATUS MUST BE EARTHED.
•When installing the unit, incorporate a readily accessible disconnect device in the fixed
wiring, or connect the power plug to an easily accessible socket-outlet near the unit. If a
fault should occur during operation of the unit, operate the disconnect device to switch
the power supply off, or disconnect the power plug.
Safety instructions for ceiling mounting of the
projector
We want you to have a pleasant experience using your projector, so we need to bring this
safety matter to your attention to prevent damage to person and property.
If you intend to mount your projector on the ceiling, we strongly recommend that you use a
proper fitting projector ceiling mount kit and that you ensure it is securely and safely
installed.
If you use an inappropriate projector ceiling mount kit, there is a safety risk that the
projector may fall from the ceiling due to an improper attachment through the use of the
wrong gauge or length screws.
You can purchase a projector ceiling mount kit from the place you purchased your projector.
We recommend that you also purchase a separate security cable and attach it securely to
both the anti-theft lock slot on the projector and the base of the ceiling mount bracket. This
will perform the secondary role of restraining the projector should its attachment to the
mounting bracket become loose.

Connecting Video source devices
You can connect your projector to various Video source devices that provide any one of the
following output sockets:
• HDMI
• Component Video
•S-Video
• Video (composite)
You need only connect the projector to a Video source device using just one of the above
connecting methods, however each provides a different level of video quality. The method
you choose will most likely depend upon the availability of matching terminals on both the
projector and the Video source device as described below:
Best video quality
The best available video connection method is HDMI. If your source device is equipped
with an HDMI socket, you can enjoy uncompressed digital video quality.
See "Connecting an HDMI device" on page 16for how to connect the projector to an HDMI
source device and other details.
15
If no HDMI source is available, the next best video signal is Component video (not to be
confused with composite video). Digital TV tuner and DVD players output Component
video natively, so if available on your devices, this should be your connection method of
choice in preference to (composite) video.
See "Connecting a Component Video source device" on page 16 for how to connect the
projector to a component video device.
Better video quality
The S-Video method provides a better quality analog video than standard composite Video.
If you have both composite Video and S-Video output terminals on your Video source
device, you should elect to use the S-Video option.
See "Connecting an S-Video source device" on page 17 for how to connect the projector to
an S-Video device.
Least video quality
Composite Video is an analog video and will result in a perfectly acceptable, but less than
optimal result from your projector, being the least video quality of the available methods
described here.
See"Connecting a composite Video source device" on page 17for how to connect the
projector to a composite Video device.
Connecting audio
You can make use of the projector speaker in your presentations, and also connect separate
amplified speakers to the Audio Out socket of the projector. The audio output is controlled
by the projector Volume and Mute settings.
Connecting an HDMI device
You should use an HDMI cable when making connection between the projector and HDMI
devices.
1.Take an HDMI cable and connect one end to the HDMI output port of the video
device.
2.Connect the other end of the cable to the HDMI 1 input port on the projector.
In the unlikely event that you connect the projector to a DVD player via the projector’s HDMI
input and the projected picture displays wrong colors, please change the color space to YUV.
See "Changing HDMI input settings" on page 22 for details.
Connecting a Component Video source device
Examine your Video source device to determine if it has a set of unused Component Video
output sockets available:
• If so, you can continue with this procedure.
• If not, you will need to reassess which method you can use to connect to the device.
1.Take a VGA (D-Sub)-Component adaptor cable and connect the end with 3 RCA type
connectors to the Component Video output sockets of the Video source device. Match
the color of the plugs to the color of the sockets; green to green, blue to blue, and red
to red.
2.Connect the other end of the VGA (D-Sub)-Component adaptor cable (with a D-Sub
type connector) to the COMPUTER socket on the projector.
If the selected video image is not displayed after the projector is turned on and the correct
video source has been selected, check that the Video source device is turned on and
operating correctly. Also check that the signal cables have been connected correctly.
Examine your Video source device to determine if it has an unused S-Video output socket
available:
• If so, you can continue with this procedure.
• If not, you will need to reassess which method you can use to connect to the device.
1.Take an S-Video cable and connect one end to the S-Video output socket of the Video
source device.
2.Connect the other end of the S-Video cable to the S-VIDEO socket on the projector.
If the selected video image is not displayed after the projector is turned on and the correct
video source has been selected, check that the Video source device is turned on and
operating correctly. Also check that the signal cables have been connected correctly.
If you have already made a Component Video connection between the projector and this SVideo source device using Component Video connections, you need not connect to this
device using an S-Video connection as this makes an unnecessary second connection of
poorer picture quality. See"Connecting Video source devices" on page 15 for details.
Connecting a composite Video source device
Examine your Video source device to determine if it has a set of unused composite Video
output sockets available:
• If so, you can continue with this procedure.
• If not, you will need to reassess which method you can use to connect to the device.
