Commercial or supplied VGA cable (Input signal type: [ANALOG PC-2] - P54)
 If you use a commercial VGA cable, make sure to use a full connected VGA cable in 
which all pins are connected; otherwise, an image may be projected improperly.
 Use an audio cable without a built-in resistor. Using an audio cable with a built-in resistor 
turns down the sound.

■Outputting an Image and Audio
Outputting an Image (SX80 II)
Images can be output to an external monitor via [ANALOG PC-1], [ANALOG PC-2] and 
[COMPONENT].
Use an audio cable without a built-in resistor. Using an audio cable with a built-in resistor 
turns down the sound.
 You can connect one external monitor.
 It outputs an image of the analog PC or component video signal, whichever was previ-
ously selected

Outputting Audio to Speakers
It is possible to output sound of projected images to AV equipment or amplified speakers.
 The speaker outputs the audio signal corresponding to the selected image signal.
 Use an audio cable without a built-in resistor. Using an audio cable with a built-in resistor 
turns down the sound.

■Connecting to Analog Video Output Terminal (analog connection)
Video cable (Input signal type: [VIDEO] or [S-VIDEO] - P54)
Connect the projector and AV equipment using a video or S-VIDEO cable that fits to the 
terminal type of the AV equipment.
The input signal type is [VIDEO] or [S-VIDEO].
Sound is common to [VIDEO] and [S-VIDEO].
[S-VIDEO] is supported only in SX80 MarkII.
Use an audio cable without a built-in resistor. Using an audio cable with a built-in resistor 
turns down the sound.

Supplied component cable (Input signal type: [COMPONENT] - P54)
A Component video signal from AV equipment can be input to the projector by connect-
ing the supplied component cable to the ANALOG PC-2/COMPONENT IN terminal of the 
projector.
Use a commercial component cable that fits to the terminal type of the AV equipment to 
connect the supplied component cable. 
Use an audio cable without a built-in resistor. Using an audio cable with a built-in resistor 
turns down the sound.

Starting Projection
1Check the connection between the projector and a computer or AV equipment. (P38 – 
P48)
2Connect the power cord and make sure that the [POWER] indicator lights up red.
Flashing red [POWER] indicator indicates that the lamp is being cooled. Wait until the 
indicator turns a steady red.
 Fully insert the power cord plug into the socket.
 Connect the ground terminal on the power plug to ground. Otherwise, an electric 
shock may result or the computer may suffer electromagnetic radiation problems or 
be subject to poor reception by TV and radio.
 Wait at least 5 minutes before turning on the projector when you turn off the projector.
It may shorten the lamp life if you turn on the projector immediately after turning it off.
 To save power, unplug the power cord when not in use.
3Remove the lens cap and press the POWER button.
The POWER indicator flushes green, and then lights in green.
The countdown window is displayed for approximately 20 seconds, and then the pro-
jection is started. Press the OK button to make the countdown window disappear.
4Turn on the computer or AV equipment power.

For more details, refer to the page 52.
If the projector is projecting an image properly with [AUTO SETUP], the projection is 
complete.
In SX800, adjust the focus and correct the screen color manually.
For how to turn off the projector, refer to the page 68. Perform the appropriate opera-
tion depending on the following situations.
■When the Language Selection Screen Appears
A window appears when the projector is turned on for the first time. You can select a lan-
guage to be used by the projector for displaying menus and messages in the window. 
Select the desired language with the pointer buttons and press the OK button.
You can change the language from the menu at a later time. (P105)
If you cannot check the language selection screen due to the out of focus, press the 
FOCUS button to adjust the focus. (P59)
Changing Operations When Projector is Turned On
You can change operations when the projector is turned on as follows:
 You can turn on the projector by connecting the power cord without pressing the 
POWER button. (P104)
 You can specify whether to enable or disable the LED illumination lamp. (P106)
 You can change the countdown window. (P90)
 You can skip the countdown window. (P49)
Using the Power Saving Mode (power management)
When you enable the power management mode, the lamp is automatically turned 
off if the projector receives no signal input for a certain period of time. (P103)
An item highlighted in orange will be selected.
