CAUTION

When connecting the projector to video equipments, take the following precautions.

•Turn off the power for both the projector and the video equipments before connecting them. If the power for either device is on at the time of connection, damage may result.

•Check the shapes of the cable connectors and the device ports before making the connections. If you try to force a connector to fit a device port with a different shape or number of terminals, a malfunction or damage to the connector or port may result.

•Do not bind the power cable and the connecting cable together. If the power cable and the connecting cable are bound together, image interference or errors in operation may result.
