Connecting to Video Equipment

Before connecting, be sure to unplug the power cord of the projector from the AC outlet and turn off the devices to be connected. After making all connections, turn on the projector and then the other devices.

Connecting Equipment with HDMI Output Terminal to the HDMI Terminal on the Projector

HDMI is a new specialized interface capable of delivering a video and audio signal to the terminal using just one cable. Since this projector does not support an audio signal by itself, use an amplifier or other audio device.

For video connection, use a cable that conforms to HDMI standards. Using cables that do not conform to HDMI standards may result in a malfunction.

Note

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is a digital AV interface that can deliver a high-definition video signal, multi-channel audio signal, and bi-directional control signal all in just one cable.

Because it is compatible with the HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) system, the digital video signal does not degrade when transmitted, and a high-quality image with a simple connection can be enjoyed.
