Connecting a Component Video Source
1. Look at the connectors at one end of your component video cable. 
If they are bayonet (BNC) connectors, go on to step 2. If they are 
RCA connectors, you’ll need to attach commercially available 
BNC adapters to plug the cable into your projector, then 
continue with step 2.
2. Connect the cable to your player and the BNC connectors on the 
projector. Match the Y/Cb/Cr (or Y/Pb/Pr) connectors on your 
player to the corresponding connectors on the projector.
3. You may need to change the 
Input Signal setting in the 
projector’s Signal menu to 
Component (see page 118).
4. If you want to play sound through the projector, see page 46 for

note
If the component video cable 
was not provided with your 
video device, you can 
purchase one from an 
electronics dealer.
note
Be sure your video player is 
not an RGB video source. 
If you select the wrong 
source, image quality may 
suffer. Check your video 
player’s documentation.
Also, make sure the Input 
Signal setting in the Signal 
menu is set to 
Auto or 
Component (see 
page 118).
note
If you have a 
component-to-VGA video 
cable, you can use it to 
connect a component video 
source. Connect the VGA 
connector to the projector’s 
Computer1 or 
Computer2 (G5550NL/
G5650WNL/G5950NL 
only) port, then connect the 
other end of the cable to your

Connecting an External Monitor
If you want to monitor your computer presentation close-up (on a 
monitor placed beside the projector) as well as on the screen, you can 
connect an external monitor. You can use it to check on your 
presentation even if you’ve pressed the 
A/V Mute button or switched 
to a different picture source. 
First make sure your computer’s VGA cable is connected to the 
projector’s 
Computer1, Computer2 (G5550NL/G5650WNL/
G5950NL only), or 
BNC ports (see page 34). Then connect your 
monitor to the projector’s 
Monitor Out port, as shown:
 
note
The monitor cannot display 
component video, nor signals 
connected via the 
Video1, 
Video2, S-Video, or 
HDMI ports.
Some LCD monitors may 
not be able to display the 
image correctly. If you have 
trouble displaying the 
image, connect a multiscan 
monitor. If you’re projecting 
computer images, make sure 
the computer’s refresh rate is 
set to 65 Hz or greater.
The projector must be 
turned on in order for the 
Monitor Out port to send a 
signal to the monitor.

Playing Sound Through the Projector
You can play sound through the projector’s speaker system or attach 
an external speaker system.
To play sound through the projector, follow these steps:
1. Locate the appropriate cable and connect it to the appropriate 
jack on the projector, as described below.
■If you have equipment connected to the Computer1 port, 
use a stereo mini-jack cable. Connect the cable to the 
Audio1 
port.
■If you have equipment connected to the Computer2 port 
(G5550NL/G5650WNL/G5950NL only), use a stereo 
mini-jack cable. Connect the cable to the 
Audio2 port.
note
If you have equipment 
connected to the 
LAN port, 
in most cases you do not 
need to connect an 
additional cable for sound. 
You can, however, connect 
an audio cable to the 
Audio1, Audio2, or 
Audio3 port (as described 
in this section) and output 
the sound by adjusting the 
Audio Input setting. With 
the PowerLite G5550NL/
G5650WNL/G5950NL, 
you can also adjust this 
setting for equipment 
connected to the HDMI 
port. See page 119.
If you are using a 
DVI/HDMI conversion 
cable to connect your 
DVI-D source through the 
HDMI port on the 
PowerLite G5550NL/
G5650WNL/G5950NL, 
you will need to connect an 
additional audio cable and 
adjust the 
Audio Input 
setting as described above. 
						

							Setting Up the Projector47
■If you have equipment connected to the DVI-D port 
(G5450WUNL/G5750WUNL only), use a stereo mini-jack 
cable. Connect the cable to the 
Audio2 port.
■If you have equipment connected to the BNC ports, use a 
stereo mini-jack cable. Connect the cable to the 
Audio3 port.

connector(s) on your computer or video equipment.  
						

							Setting Up the Projector49
Connecting External Speakers
You can output sound to external speakers with built-in amplifiers. 
When you play sound through external speakers, the projector’s 
built-in speaker system is disabled. You can use the remote control or 
the projector’s menu system to adjust the volume.
1. Locate the appropriate cable to connect your speakers. 
Depending on your speakers, you may be able to use a 
commercially available audio cable with a stereo mini-jack 
connector on one end and pin jacks on the other end. For some 
speakers, you may have to purchase a special cable or use an 
adapter.
2. Connect the stereo mini-jack end of the audio cable to the 
Audio Out port on the projector.
 
3. Connect the other end of the cable to your speakers.

Connecting to a Digital Camera or 
Other USB Device
You can connect your digital camera, USB flash memory drive, USB 
hard drive, or multimedia storage viewer, such as the Epson P-7000 to 
the projector. Use the USB cable specified for your device, if

device, if necessary.
The indicator light turns orange when a USB device is connected and 
green when PC Free is running.note
Use a cable less than 10 feet 
(3 meters) long and connect 
the camera or other device 
directly to the projector. 
Your projector may not 
function correctly if you use 
a longer cable or connect 
your camera to a USB hub.
If you connect a USB hard 
drive, make sure you use the 
AC adapter to power the 
hard drive.
The slideshow function on 
some devices may not work 
with the USB connection.
