Connections

Before connecting to the projector

zzRead carefully the instruction manual for the device to be connected. zzTurn off the power switch of the devices before connecting cables.

zzIf any connection cable is not supplied with the device, or if no optional cable is available for connection of the device, prepare a necessary system connection cable to suit the device.

zzVideo signals containing too much jitter may cause the images on the screen to randomly wobble or wafture. In this case, a time base corrector (TBC) must be connected.

zzThe projector accepts the following signals: VIDEO, S-VIDEO, analogue-RGB (with TTL sync. Level) and digital signal.

zzSome computer models are not compatible with the projector.

zzWhen using long cables to connect with each of equipment to the projector, there is a possibility that the image will not be output correctly unless a compensator is used.

zzFor details on what video signals the projector supports, see “List of compatible signals”. (Æpage 109 to 113)

Attention

zz When connecting with a video deck, be sure to use the one with a built-in time base corrector (TBC) or use a TBC between the projector and the video deck.

zz If nonstandard burst signals are connected, the image may be distorted. If this is the case, connect a TBC between the projector and the video deck.

Note

zz When using an HDMI cable, check that it is compliant with the HDMI standard. Using a cable that is not compliant with the HDMI standard may result in problems such as the image cutting out or not appearing.

When connecting the 1 080p signal using HDMI, use a cable compliant with 1 080p signal. zz This projector does not support the Viera link (HDMI).

zz For the specifications of the RGB signals that can be applied from the PC, refer to “List of compatible signals”. (Æpage 109 to 113)
