Important:
•Use a commercially available HDMI (with HDMI logo) cable.
•You don’t have to connect any cable for audio input. You can input video and audio using an HDMI cable only.
•When HDMI audio isn’t output, it may be output by turning off the power of the video equipment with the projector and the video equipment connected to each other and then turning back on the power.
•Some cables may not be connected correctly depending on the size and shape of their connectors.
•To connect to the video device using a splitter, make sure to use the splitter compliant with the HDMI 1.3 Deep
Color Standard. If you use the splitter not compliant with the HDMI 1.3 standard, this projector may not display any image or not operate correctly.
When you connect this projector and a Digital device (such as a DVD player) via the HDMI terminal, black color may appear dark and deep, depending on the type of the connected device.
•This depends on the black level setting of the connected device. There are two kinds of methods to digitally transfer image data, in which different black level settings are employed respectively. Therefore, the specifications of the signals output from DVD players differ, depending on the type of the digital data transfer method they use.
•Some DVD players are provided with a function to switch the methods to output digital signals. When your DVD player is provided with such function, set it as follows.
EXPAND or ENHANCED NORMAL
• See the users guide of your DVD player for details.
•Set INPUT LEVEL of ADVANCED MENU in the IMAGE menu depending on the device to be used.
