Connecting a HDMI source device

The projector provides a HDMI input socket 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 source device to determine if it has an unused HDMI output socket 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 a HDMI source device:

1.Take a HDMI cable and connect one end to the HDMI output socket of the HDMI source device. Connect the other end of the cable to the HDMI signal input socket on the projector.

Once connected, the audio can be controlled by the projector On-Screen Display (OSD) menus. See "Audio Settings" on page 44 for details.
