EnglishConnecting HDMI source devices
The projector provides a HDMI input jack 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 Video source device to determine if it has a set of unused HDMI output jacks 
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 HDMI source device:
1. Take a HDMI cable and connect one end to the HDMI output jack of the HDMI 
source device. Connect the other end of the ca ble to the HDMI signal input jack on the 
projector. Once connected, the audio can be controlled by the projector On-Screen 
Display (OSD) menus. See  Audio Settings on page 50  for details.
The final connection path should be li ke that shown in the following diagram:
In the unlikely event that you connect the projector to a DVD player and the projected picture 
displays wrong colors, please change the color  space to a suitable selection (RGB/YUV). See 
Changing Color Space on page 29  for details.

EnglishConnecting Component Video source devices
Examine your Video source device to determine if it has a set of unused Component Video 
output jacks 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 a Component Video cable and connect the end with 3 RCA type connectors to 
the Component Video output jacks of the Video source device. Match the color of the 
plugs to the color of the jacks; green to green, blue to blue, and red to red.
2. Connect the other end of the Component Video cable to the  COMPONENT jack on 
the projector. Match the colors of the plugs to the colors of the jacks-green to green, 
blue to blue, and red to red.
To connect the projector to an Audio source device:
1. Take a suitable audio cable and connect  one end to the audio L/R input of the AV 
device. Connect the other end of the cable  to the audio L/R input on the projector. 
Once connected, the audio can be controlled by the projector On-Screen Display 
(OSD) menus. See  Adjusting the sound on page 42  for details.
The final connection path should be li ke that shown in the following diagram:
• 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 an HDMI Video connection between the projector and this  Component Video source device using HDMI Vi deo connections, you need not connect to 
this device using a Component Video conn ection as this makes an unnecessary second 
connection of poorer picture quality. See  Connecting Video source devices on page 20 
for details.

EnglishAdjusting the projected image
Adjusting the projection angle
Remove the Back Foot Holder on the rear adjuster foot before adjusting the projection angle.
The projector is equipped with 1 quick-release adjuster foot and 1 rear adjuster foot. These 
adjusters change the image height and proj ection angle. To adjust the projector:
1. Press the quick-release button and lift the front 
of the projector. Once the image is positioned 
where you want it, release the quick-release 
button to lock the foot in position.
2. Rotate the rear adjuster foot to fine tune the horizontal angle.
To retract the foot, hold up the projector while 
pressing the quick-release button, then slowly 
lower the projector. Screw the rear adjuster foot in 
a reverse direction.
If the projector is not placed on a flat surface or the screen and the projector are not 
perpendicular to each other, the projected image becomes trapezoidal. To correct this 
situation, see Correcting keystone on page 31  for details.
• Do not look into the lens while the lamp is on. The strong light from the lamp may cause 
damage to your eyes.
• Be careful when you press the adjuster button  as it is close to the exhaust vent where hot 
air comes from.
Auto-adjusting the image
In some cases, you may need to optimize the 
picture quality. To do this, press  AUTO on the 
projector or remote control. Within 3 seconds, 
the built-in Intelligent Au to Adjustment function 
will re-adjust the values of Frequency and Clock 
to provide the best picture quality. 
The current source information will be displayed 
in the upper left corner of the screen for 3 
seconds. 
• The screen will be blank while AUTO is functioning.
• This function is only available when PC signal (analog RGB) is selected.
