Connecting HDMI source devices

The projector provides a HDMI input jack that allows you to connect it to a HDMI source device like a DVD player, a DTV tuner or a display.

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.

Examine your Video source device to determine if it has a set of unused HDMI output jacks 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 an HDMI source device:

1.Take a HDMI cable and connect one end to the HDMI output jack of the HDMI

source device. Connect the other end of the cable to the HDMI signal input jack on the projector. Once connected, the audio can be controlled by the projector On-Screen Display (OSD) menus. See "Audio Settings" on page 53 for details.

The final connection path should be like that shown in the following diagram:
