Caution

• Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type.

• Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.

• Make sure the plus and minus terminals are correctly aligned when loading a battery.

Note

• Keep the batteries out of the reach of children. There is a danger of death by

accidentally swallowing the batteries.

• Remove batteries from remote control when not using for extended periods.

• Do not dispose of the used batteries along with household waste. Dispose of used

batteries according to local regulations.

• Danger of explosion may happen if batteries are incorrectly replaced. Replce all the

batteries with new ones.

• Batteries should not be in or near to fire or water, keep batteries in a dark, cool and dry

place.

• If suspect battery leakage, wipe out the leakage and then replace new batteries. If the

leakage adheres to your body or clothes, rinse well with water immediately.

Note

• Do not point the laser directly to the people's eyes (especially small children). There is a

danger of injury to the eyes.

• The remote control may not operate when there is sunlight or other strong light such as

a fluorescent lamp shining on the remote sensor.

• Operate the remote control from a position where the remote sensor is visible.

• Do not drop the remote control or jolt it.

• Keep the remote control out of locations with excessively high temperature or humidity.

• Do not get water on the remote control or place wet objects on it.

• Do not disassemble the remote control.

Connection

When connecting a signal source to the projector, be sure to:

1. Turn all equipment off before making any connections.

2. Use the correct signal cables for each source.

3. Ensure the cables are firmly inserted.

1. VGA cable (D-Sub to D-Sub) 2. VGA to DVI-A cable

3. USB cable (mini-B type to A type) 4. VGA (D-Sub) to HDTV (RCA) cable

5. Component Video cable 6. Audio L/R cable

7. S-Video cable 8. Composite Video cable

9. Audio cable 10. HDMI cable

11. Microphone 3.5 mini jack cable 12. USB flash drive

Important

• In the connections shown above, some cables may not be included with the projector

(see "Package Contents" on page 2). They are commercially available from electronics stores.

• The connection illustrations above are for reference only. The rear connecting jacks

available on the projector vary with each projector model.

• For detailed connection methods, see pages 13-16.

Connecting a computer or monitor

Connecting a computer

The projector provides two VGA input sockets that allow you to connect them to both IBM® compatibles and Macintosh® computers. A Mac adapter is needed if you are connecting legacy version Macintosh computers.

To connect the projector to a notebook or desktop computer:

1. Take the supplied VGA cable and connect one end to the D-Sub output socket of

the computer.

2. Connect the other end of the VGA cable to the Computer in 1 or Computer in 2

signal input socket on the projector.

3. If you wish to use the USB display, take a USB cable and connect the A type end

to the USB port of the computer, and the other end to the USB B socket on the projector.

Important

• Many notebooks do not turn on their external video ports when connected to a

projector. Usually a key combo like FN + F3 or CRT/LCD key turns the external display on/off. Locate a function key labeled CRT/LCD or a function key with a monitor symbol on the notebook. Press FN and the labeled function key simultaneously. Refer to your notebook's documentation to find your notebook's key combination.

Connecting a monitor

If you want to view your presentation close-up on a monitor as well as on the screen, you can connect the Monitor Out signal output socket on the projector to an external monitor with a VGA cable following the instructions below:

To connect the projector to a monitor:

1. Connect the projector to a computer as described in "Connecting a computer" on

page 13.

2. Take a suitable VGA cable (only one supplied) and connect one end of the cable to

the D-Sub input socket of the video monitor.

Or if your monitor is equipped with a DVI input socket, take a VGA to DVI-A cable and connect the DVI end of the cable to the DVI input socket of the video monitor.

3. Connect the other end of the cable to the Monitor Out socket on the projector.

Important

• The Monitor Out output only works when Computer in 1 or Computer in 2 is made to the

projector.

Connecting Video source devices

You can connect your projector to various Video source devices that provide any one of the following output sockets:

• 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 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 15 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 15 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 16 for how to connect the projector to a composite Video device.
