Setting up

Connecting your devices

Be sure to read the manuals for devices before connecting them to the projector. Make sure that all the devices are suitable to be connected with this product, and prepare the cables required to connect.

Please refer to the following illustrations to connect them.

PCVCR/DVD player

Speakers

(with an amplier)

Monitor

NOTE • The COMPUTER IN1 port can support a component signal also. For more information, please see the description of the COMPUTER IN item of the INPUT menu (29).

WARNING ►Do not disassemble or modify the projector and accessories.

►Be careful not to damage the cables, and do not use damaged cables.

CAUTION ►Turn off all devices and unplug their power cords prior to connecting them to projector. Connecting a live device to the projector may generate extremely loud noises or other abnormalities that may result in malfunction or damage to the device and the projector. ►Use appropriate accessory or otherwise designed cables. Ask your dealer about non-accessory cables which may have to be of a specic length or equipped with a core. For cables with a core only at one end, connect the end with the core to the projector. ►Make sure that devices are connected to the correct ports. An incorrect connection may result in malfunction or damage to the device and the projector.

Connecting your devices (continued)

Setting up

NOTE •

Be sure to read the manuals for devices before connecting them to the projector, and make sure that all the devices are suitable to be connected with this product. Before connecting to a PC, check the signal level, the signal timing, and the resolution.

- Some signal may need an adapter to input this projector.

- Some PCs have multiple screen display modes that may include some signals which

are not supported by this projector.

- Although the projector can display signals with resolution up to UXGA (1600X1200),

the signal will be converted to the projector’s panel resolution before being displayed. The best display performance will be achieved if the resolutions of the input signal and the projector panel are identical.

• While connecting, make sure that the shape of the cable's connector ts the port to connect with. And be sure to tighten the screws on connectors with screws.

• When connecting a laptop PC to the projector, be sure to activate the PC’s external RGB output. (Set the laptop PC to CRT display or to simultaneous LCD and CRT display.) For details on how this is done, please refer to the instruction manual of the corresponding laptop PC.

• When the picture resolution is changed on a pc depending on an input, automatic adjustment function may take some time and may not be completed. In this case, you may not be able to see a check box to select “Yes/No” for the new resolution on Windows. Then the resolution will go back to the original. It might be recommended to use other CRT or LCD monitors to change the resolution.

• In some cases, this projector may not display a proper picture or display any picture on screen. For example, automatic adjustment may not function correctly with some input signals. An input signal of composite sync or sync on G may confuse this projector, so the projector may not display a proper picture.

•

The HDMI port of this model is compatible with HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection)

and therefore capable of displaying a video signal from HDCP compatible DVD players or the like.
