Connecting to a Computer
Before connecting, ensure that the power cord of the projector from the \
AC outlet is un-
plugged, and that the devices to be connected are turned off. After making all connections,
turn on the projector and then the other devices. When connecting a comp\
uter, ensure that
it is the last device to be turned on after all the connections are made\
.
Ensure that you have read the owner’s manuals of the devices to be connected before making connections.
Note
•See page  97 “Computer Compatibility Chart” for a list of computer signals comp\
atible with the projector.
Use with computer signals other than those listed may cause some of the \
functions to not work.
• Connecting computers other than the recommended types may result in dama\
ge to the projector, the
computer, or both.
• A Macintosh adaptor may be required for use with some Macintosh computer\
s. Contact your nearest
Macintosh Dealer.
• Depending on the computer you are using, an image may not be projected u\
nless the signal
output setting of the computer is switched to the external output.  Refer to the computer owner’s
manual for switching the computer signal output settings.

■ This projector is compatible with VESA-standard DDC 1/DDC 2B. The projector and a VESA DDC com-
patible computer will communicate their setting requirements, allowing f\
or quick and easy setup.
■ Before using the “Plug and Play” function,  be sure to turn on the projector first and the connected
computer last.
Note
• The DDC “Plug and Play” function of this projector operates only w\
hen used in conjunction with a VESA

Connecting with a 5 BNC to 15-pin D-sub Cable
The projector employs a 5 BNC computer input to prevent deterioration of image quality.
When connecting the input terminals on the projector to the computer directly, Connect the
R (P
R), G/G sync (Y), B (PB), HD/C sync and VD cables of the 5 BNC to 15-pin D-sub cable
(commercially available) to the INPUT 2 terminals on the projector.
Note
•When connecting the projector to a compatible computer other than a PC (VGA/SVGA/XGA/SXGA/UXGA)
or Macintosh (i.e. Workstation), a separate cable may be needed. Please contact your dealer for more
information.
•When using the ø3.5 mm mono audio cable, the volume level will be half of when using the ø3.5 mm
stereo audio cable.
•The HD/C sync terminal is only for TTL signal.

Connecting to Video Equipment
Before connecting, ensure the power cord of the projector from the AC outlet is unplugged,
and that the devices to be connected are turned off. After making all connections, turn on the
projector and then the other devices.
The projector has a DVD digital terminal, computer -RGB/component  terminal, S-video termi-
nal and  video terminal for video input. Refer to the listed illustrations on how to co\
nnect audio-
visual equipment.
If your audio-visual equipment has an RGB output terminal or component o\
utput terminal,
use the computer-RGB/component terminals (INPUT 1 or 2) on the project\
or for video con-
nection.
Connecting to Video Equipment That Has an HDMI Out-
put Terminal with a DVI to HDMI Cable
Use a DVI to HDMI cable when connecting HDMI video equipment such as DVD\
 players to the
INPUT 3 terminal.
Note
• Select the input signal type of the video equipment. See page  63.
• While the projector is connected to video equipment that has an HDMI out\
put terminal, only the video
signal can be input to the projector. (Connect the AUDIO input (2, 3) terminal for audio input.)
• Depending on specifications of video equipment or DVI to HDMI digital ca\
ble, the signal transmission
may not work properly. (The HDMI specification does not support all connections to video equ\
ipment that
has HDMI digital output terminal using a DVI to HDMI digital cable.)
• For details on compatibility for connection, see support information on \
DVI connection provided by the
video equipment manufacturer.

and DTV* decoders to the INPUT 2 terminals.
*DTV is the umbrella term used to describe the new digital television system in the United
States.
Note
•When connecting the projector to the video equipment in this way, select “RGB” for “Signal Type” in the
“Picture” menu. See page 63.
•The HD/C sync and VD terminals may be used depending on the specifications of the DTV decoder
connected to this projector. Please refer to the owner’s manual of the DTV decoder for details.
•The HD/C sync terminal is only for TTL signal.

posite video cable (commercially available).
Note
•The S-video signal input to the S-VIDEO terminal is separated into color and luminance signals for real-
izing a higher-quality image.
•An RCA audio cable (commercially available) is required for audio input.
•When you connect video equipment with a 21-pin RGB output (Euro-scart) to the projector, use a com-

or when the LAN terminal on the projector to the LAN terminal on the computer, the com-
puter can be used to control the projector. Refer to the “SETUP GUIDE” contained on the
supplied CD-ROM for details.
When connecting to a computer using an RS-232C serial control cable
Note
•The RS-232C function may not operate if your computer terminal is not correctly set up. Refer to the
owner’s manual of the computer for details.
•Refer to “SETUP GUIDE” contained on the supplied CD-ROM for the RS-232C specifications and
commands.
Info
•Do not connect the RS-232C cable to a terminal other than the RS-232C terminal on the computer. This
may damage your computer or projector.
•Do not connect or disconnect an RS-232C serial control cable to or from the computer while it is on. This
may damage your computer.
