Connecting with video equipment

You can connect the projector to any type of video equipment, such as a VCR, DVD player, digital tuner, cable or satellite decoder, video game console or digital camera. You can also connect it to a desktop or laptop PC or Apple Macintosh system. You need only connect the projector to a source device using just one of the 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:

Preparations

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

1.Turn off all equipment before making any connections.

2.Use only the correct type cables for each source with proper type plugs.

3.Ensure that all cable plugs are firmly fitted to the equipment jacks.

Note that all cables shown in the following connection diagrams may not be supplied with the projector (See "Shipping contents" on page 6 for details). Most cables are commercially available from electronics stores.

Connecting HDMI devices

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) supports uncompressed video data transmission between compatible devices like DTV tuners, DVD players and displays over a single cable. It provides pure digital viewing and listening experience. You should use an HDMI cable when making connection between the projector and HDMI devices.

HDMI device: DVD player, digital tuner, etc.

To make sure you select a correct input source type for the HDMI signal, see "HDMI Settings" on page 49 for details.
