Connecting to a Video Source Projecting S-Video Images • Use a commercially-available S-Video cable to connect the video source to the S-Video port at the rear of the projector. • If you would like the sound to come out of the projector's built-in speaker, use the accessory A/V cable (red/white) to connect the video source to the Audio 2 port at the rear of the projector. Alternatively, use a commercially-available audio cable to connect the video source to the Audio 1 port at the rear of the projector.
Projecting Component Video Images • Use the optional component video cable to connect the video source to the Computer 2/Component Video port at the rear of the projector. See “Appendix: Optional Accessories” (P.100) • If you would like the sound to come out of the projector's built-in speaker, use the accessory A/V cable (red/white) to connect the video source to the Audio 2 port at the rear of the projector.
Connecting to a Video Source Projecting RGB Video Images RGB video is used when RGB signals that have copy protection added are input and projected. • Use the accessory computer cable to connect the video source to the Computer 2/Component Video port at the rear of the projector. Alternatively, use the optional DVI analog cable to connect the video source to the Computer 1 port at the rear of the projector. See “ Appendix: Optional Accessories” (P.
Tip : • RGB video is only compatible with sync-in-green signals. This can be checked by looking at SYNC Mode in the About menu. • After making the connections, change the Comp1 Input or Comp2 /YCbCr Input setting in the Setting menu to RGB Video. For separate sync (separate H-SYNC and V-SYNC) signals, set to Analog-RGB. (P.69) This can be checked by looking at SYNC Mode in the About menu.
Connecting to an External Speaker You can connect the projector's Audio Out port to speakers with a built-in amplifier in order to enjoy even fuller sound. Use a commercially-available audio cable with pin jack ⇔ stereo mini jack 0.14 inches (3.5 mm) plugs or similar. Use an audio cable with a connector that matches the port for the audio equipment.
Basic Operations This chapter describes basic operations such as turning projection on and off and adjusting the projected images. Turning On the Projector ..................................................36 • Connecting the Power Cord................................................................ 36 • Turning On the Power and Projecting Images ................................. 37 Turning Off the Projector..................................................39 Adjusting the Screen Image ...................
Turning On the Projector Turn on the power to start projecting images. Be sure to read the separate Safety Instructions/World-Wide Warranty Terms and check the points that must be noted before using the projector to project images. Connecting the Power Cord Procedure 1 Check that the power is turned off for the projector and all components connected to the projector. 2 Connect the computer or other video source to the projector. (P.19, 29) 3 Remove the lens cover.
Tip If the: projector cannot be set up so that it is perpendicular to the screen, you can Turning On the Power and Projecting Images •use The When [Auto] keystone button correction on the projector's is carried control out, the panel projected doesimage not work will while become a menu smaller. or help the keystone correction function which is described on the following page screen is being displayed.
Turning On the Projector 6 If more than one signal source has been connected, use the remote control or control panel buttons to select the port which the signal source that you would like to use is connected to, while referring to the following table.
Turning Off the Projector Follow the procedure below to turn off the power of the projector. Procedure 1 Turn off the power for the signal sources that are connected to the projector. Check that the power for all connected components has been tuned off. 2 Press the [Power] button on either the remote control or the projector's control panel. The following confirmation message will appear.
Turning Off the Projector 5 Unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet. Caution : Do not disconnect the power cord from the outlet while the operation indicator is still flashing orange. If you disconnect the power cord while the indicator is still flashing, it may result in errors in projector operation and reduce the lamp unit operating life. 6 Set the R/C switch on the remote control to the OFF position.
Adjusting the Screen Image You can adjust the screen image in order to obtain the best possible picture. Adjusting the Image Size The size of the projected image is basically determined by the distance from the projector to the screen. (P.18) The following procedures explain how to adjust the screen image once the projector itself has been set up. Tip : The E-Zoom function lets you enlarge parts of the image. (P.56) Procedure Turn the zoom ring on the projector to adjust the image.
Adjusting the Screen Image Adjusting the Image Angle You can change the projection angle for the projector. The projector should be as perpendicular to the screen as possible. Seen from the side Seen from above You can extend or retract the front adjustable foot to adjust the projection angle within a maximum range of 12°. Procedure While pressing the foot adjust button, lift up the front of the projector so that the front adjustable foot can extend.
If the projector cannot be set up so that it is perpendicular to the screen, you can use the keystone correction function which is described on the following page to adjust the projected images if the angle of the projector is within a range of approximately 30° vertically or approximately 10° horizontally from the perpendicular. The For values givensource, here are for when the image thevideo smallest zoom setting a video press the [Play] buttonisatatthe source to start (telephoto).
Adjusting the Screen Image Correcting Keystone Distortion In some cases it may not be possible to set up the projector so that the setting angle is perpendicular to the position of the screen. In such cases, a type of distortion known as "keystone distortion" may appear in the projected images. If keystone distortion occurs, you can correct it using the [Keystone] buttons on the projector's control panel.

Adjusting the Image Quality Adjusting the synchronization If flickering, fuzziness or interference appear in images that are input from the computer, and this cannot be fixed using automatic adjustment, you will need to adjust the synchronization manually using the following projection. Procedure While holding down the [Shift] button on the projector's control panel, press the [Sync +] button. The synchronization value will increase by one setting each time the [Sync +] button is pressed.
Adjusting the Volume You can adjust the volume for the sound from the projector's internal speaker or from the external speakers that are connected to the projector. Procedure Press the [Volume , ] button on either the remote control or the projector's control panel. When the button is pressed to [ ], the volume increases, and when the button is pressed to [ ], the volume decreases. The volume gauge appears on the screen when the volume has been adjusted.
