Quick Setup
Your projector comes with the following items:
ProjectorPower cordRemote control
Batteries
Rubber feet
The projector has 5 connectors, as shown below. Each one is color-coded and requires
a different type of cable (not included). You can connect up to 5 video devices and
use the remote control to switch from one to the other.
1Check the connectors on your video equipment. If more than one 
connection is available, choose the one that provides the best quality. 
For example, component video produces higher quality images than 
S-video or composite video. 
2Make sure you have the right cable(s) for the connection(s) you want to use,
and the cables are long enough for your setup. If you need a cable longer 
than the standard 6 to 10 feet, you may need a distribution amplifier. 
3Before you connect your equipment, make sure everything is turned off.
4Connect your video equipment to the projector using any of the available 
connections shown below.
