    Connection
    When connecting a signal source to the projector, be sure to:
    1. Turn all equipment off before making any connections.
    2. Use the correct signal cables for each source.
    3. Ensure the cables are firmly inserted. 
    In the connections shown below, some cables may not be included with the 
    projector (see Shipping contents on page 6). They are commercially available 
    from electronics stores.
    Connecting a computer or monitor
    Connecting a computer
    The projector provides a VGA input socket that allows you to connect it to a laptop or 
    desktop computer. 
    To connect the projector to a laptop or desktop computer:
    1. Take the supplied VGA cable and connect one end to the D-Sub output socket of the 
    computer.
    2. Connect the other end of the VGA cable to the D-SUB/COMP IN signal input socket 
    on the projector.
    3. If you wish to make use of the projector (mixed mono) speaker, take a suitable audio 
    cable and connect one end of the cable to the audio output socket of the computer, 
    and the other end to the Audio socket of the projector.
    The final connection path should be like that shown in the following diagram:
    Many laptops do not turn on their external video ports when connected to a projector. Usually 
    a key combo like FN + F3 or CRT/LCD key turns the external display on/off. Locate a function 
    key labeled CRT/LCD or a function key with a monitor symbol on the laptop. Press FN and the 
    labeled function key simultaneously. Refer to your laptop’s documentation to find your

    Connecting Video source devices
    You can connect your projector to various Video source devices that provide any one of the 
    following output sockets:
    • Component Video
    •S-Video
    •Video (composite)
    You need only connect the projector to a Video source device using just one of the above 
    connecting methods, however each provides a different level of video quality. The method 
    you choose will most likely depend upon the availability of matching terminals on both the 
    projector and the Video source device as described below:
    Best video quality
    The best available video connection method is Component Video (not to be confused with 
    composite Video). Digital TV tuner and DVD players output Component Video natively, so 
    if available on your devices, this should be your connection method of choice in preference 
    to (composite) Video.
    See Connecting a Component Video source device on page 20 for how to connect the 
    projector to a component video device.
    Better video quality
    The S-Video method provides a better quality analog video than standard composite Video. 
    If you have both composite Video and S-Video output terminals on your Video source 
    device, you should elect to use the S-Video option.
    See Connecting an S-Video source device on page 21 for how to connect the projector to 
    an S-Video device.
    Least video quality
    Composite Video is an analog video and will result in a perfectly acceptable, but less than 
    optimal result from your projector, being the least video quality of the available methods 
    described here.
    See Connecting a composite Video source device on page 22 for how to connect the 
    projector to a composite Video device.
    Connecting Audio
    The projector has a built-in mono speaker which is designed to provide basic audio 
    functionality accompanying data presentations for business purposes only. It is not designed 
    for, nor intended for stereo audio reproduction use as might be expected in home theatre or 
    home cinema applications. Any stereo audio input (if provided), is mixed into a common 
    mono audio output through the projector speaker. 
    If you have a separate sound system, you will most likely want to connect the audio output 
    of your Video source device to that sound system, instead of to the mono audio projector. 
    The audio connections illustrated in the following sections are provided for informational 
    purposes only. You need not connect audio to the projector if there is an alternate sound 
    system available, or if audio is not required.

    Connecting a Component Video source device
    Examine your Video source device to determine if it has a set of unused Component Video 
    output sockets 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 Component Video source device:
    1. Take the (optional accessory) Component Video to VGA (D-Sub) adaptor cable and 
    connect the end with 3 RCA type connectors to the Component Video output sockets 
    of the Video source device. Match the color of the plugs to the color of the sockets; 
    green to green, blue to blue; and red to red.
    2. Connect the other end of the Component Video to VGA (D-Sub) adaptor cable (with 
    a D-Sub type connector) to the D-SUB/COMP IN socket on the projector.
    3. If you wish to make use of the projector (mixed mono) speaker, take a suitable audio 
    cable and connect one end of the cable to the audio output socket of the computer, 
    and the other end to the Audio socket of the projector.
    The final connection path should be like that shown in the following diagram:
    If you connect the projector to a High Definition TV (HDTV) tuner, the following standards 
    are supported:
    • The projector is only capable of playing mixed mono audio, even if a stereo audio input is 
    connected. See Connecting Audio on page 19 for details.
    • Component Video is the only video output that delivers native 16:9 aspect ratio picture.
    • If the selected video image is not displayed after the projector is turned on and the correct 
    video source has been selected, check that the Video source device is turned on and 
    operating correctly. Also check that the signal cables have been connected correctly.
    • 480i • 480p
    • 576i • 576p

    Connecting an S-Video source device
    Examine your Video source device to determine if it has an unused S-Video 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 an S-Video source device:
    1. Take the (optional accessory) S-Video cable and connect one end to the S-Video 
    output socket of the Video source device.
    2. Connect the other end of the S-Video cable to the S-VIDEO socket on the projector.
    The final connection path should be like that shown in the following diagram:
    • The projector is only capable of playing mixed mono audio, even if a stereo audio input 
    is connected. See Connecting Audio on page 19 for details.
    • If the selected video image is not displayed after the projector is turned on and the 
    correct video source has been selected, check that the Video source device is turned on 
    and operating correctly. Also check that the signal cables have been connected 
    correctly.
    • If you have already made a Component Video connection between the projector and this 
    S-Video source device using Component Video connections, you need not connect to 
    this device using an S-Video connection as this makes an unnecessary second 
    connection of poorer picture quality. See Connecting Video source devices on page 19 
    for details.

    Switching input signal
    The projector can be connected to multiple devices at the same time. However, it can only 
    display one at a time. 
    When SOURCE on the projector control panel or the remote control is pressed, information 
    of current signal and resolution will display at the lower right corner. Press SOURCE again 
    to display  a source selection bar. You can manually press SOURCE repeatedly until your 
    desired signal is selected or let the projector automatically search for the available signal.
    Once detected, the selected source information 
    will display at the lower right corner of the 
    screen for 3 seconds. If there is multiple 
    equipment connected to the projector, you can 
    press the button again to search for another 
    signal.
    Be sure the Source Scan function in the 
    Advanced menu is activated if you want the 
    projector to automatically search the signals. See 
    Source Scan (on) on page 41 for details.
    If no input is detected after auto searching for 
    two rounds, a message of No Signal will be 
    shown on the screen.
    The brightness level of the projected image will change accordingly when you switch between 
    different input signals. Data (graphic) PC presentations using mostly static images are 
    generally brighter than Video using mostly moving images (movies).
    The input type affects the options available for the Application Mode. See Selecting a picture 
    mode on page 29 for details.
    Adjusting the projected image
    Adjusting the projection angle
