Connect your computer or other analog RGB equip-
ment  such  as  IBM  compatible  or  Macintosh  com-
puters.  Use  the  supplied  VGA  cable  to  connect  to 
your  computer.  This  also  ser ves  as  a  component 
input  connector  that  allows  you  to  connect  a  com-
ponent  video  output  of  component  equipment  such 
as a DVD player. See page 15, 18, 20.

ment  such  as  IBM  compatible  or  Macintosh  comput-
ers.
Use  the  supplied  VGA  cable  to  connect  to  your  com-
puter. This also serves as a component input connec-
tor that allows you to connect a component video out-
put  of  component  equipment  such  as  a  DVD  player. 
See page 15, 16.

AUDIO IN Mini Jack (Stereo Mini) (LV-7365/LV-7265)
This  is  where  you  connect  the  audio  output  from 
your  computer  or  DVD  player  when  connected  to 
the  COMPUTER  input.  A  commercially  available 
audio cable is required. See page 15, 20.
 .

You can use this connector to loop your computer im-
age to an external monitor from the RGB input source.
T h i s  c o n n e c t o r  o u t p u t s  R G B  s i g n a l  i n  s t a n d b y

(When  audio  equipment  is  connected,  the  projector 
speaker is disabled.)
When a cable mini-plug is inserted into this jack, both the 
right and left audio signals are not mixed, but separate.
For  example,  when  a  cable  mini-plug  is  inserted  into 
the left AUDIO IN jack only, only left sound is output.
6.  VIDEO IN Connector (RCA)
Connect  a  VCR,  DVD  player,  laser  disc  player,  or 
document camera here to project video. See page 21.

These are your left and right channel audio inputs for 
stereo sound from a Video/S-Video source.
These jacks support an analog RGB audio source on 
LV-7260/LV-X7. See page 18, 21.
9.  SERVICE PORT (Mini DIN 8 Pin)
Use  this  port  to  connect  a  PC  or  control  system  to

remote sensor on projector cabinet
7m/22 feet
•  The  infrared  signal  operates  by  line-of-sight  up  to  a  distance  of  about  7  m  (22  feet)  and  within  a  60-degree 
angle of the remote sensor on the projector cabinet.
•  The projector will not respond if there are objects between the remote control and the sensor, or if strong light 
falls on the sensor. Weak batteries will also prevent the remote control from properly operating the projector.
NOTE: The LV-7260 and LV-X7 do not have the remote sensor on the rear panel.
