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.
To connect the projector to a composite Video source device:
1. Take a Video cable and connect one end to the composite Video output socket of
the Video source device.
2. Connect the other end of the Video cable to the VIDEO socket on the projector.
Important
• 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.
• You need only connect to this device using a composite Video connection if Component
Video and S-Video inputs are unavailable for use. See "Connecting Video source
devices" on page 16 for details.
Playing sound through the projector
You can make use of the projector (mixed mono) speaker in your presentations, and
also connect separate amplified speakers to the AUDIO OUT socket of the projector.
If you have a separate sound system, you will most likely want to connect the audio
output of your Video source device to that sound system, instead of to the mono audio
projector.
You can also use a microphone to output the sound through the projector speaker.
Once connected, the audio can be controlled by the projector On-Screen Display
(OSD) menus. See "Audio Setting" on page 33 for details.
The table below describes the connection methods for different devices, and where
the sound is from.

The selected input signal determines which sound will be played by the projector speaker, and
which sound will be output from the projector when AUDIO OUT is connected. If you select a
PC signal; the projector can play the sound received from AUDIO IN 1/ AUDIO IN 2 or MIC.

About the microphone input
• If you wish to use a microphone, connect a 3.5 mini jack cable microphone to the
projector.
• You can use a wireless microphone as long as a wireless module is attached to the
projector's microphone input jack and it works well with the associated devices.
• To ensure a quality use of the wireless microphone, it is recommended that your
microphone conforms to the specifications listed in the table below.
Signal Parameter Min Type Max
Transducer Principle Dynamic
Microphone
• There are two ways to adjust microphone volumes.
• Directly set microphone volume levels in the Video/Audio > Audio Setting >
Microphone Volume menu.
• Set projector volume levels in the Video/Audio > Audio Setting > Volume
menu, or press Volume keys (+, -) on the remote control. (The projector volume
setting will affect the microphone volume.)
• To make the microphone input available when the projector is in standby mode, turn
on the Video/Audio > Audio Setting > Active Audio Out menu.
• If the microphone is not working, check the volume setting and cable connection.
• You might get feedback noise from the microphone when you are too close to the
speaker of the projector. Move the microphone away from the speaker of the
projector. The greater volume you require, the greater distance you need to be
away from the Speaker to prevent the noise.
Impedance 300 1K ohm
Frequency response 600 16K Hz
