25 Connecting to a Video Source Projecting Composite Video Images Use a commercially-available RCA video cable to make the connection. CAUTION When connecting the projector to other video sources, take the following precautions. Turn the power off for both the projector and the video source before connecting them. If the power for either device is on at the time of connection, damage may result. Check the shapes of the cable connectors and the device ports before making the connections. If you try to force a connector to fit a device port with a different shape or number of terminals, damage to the connector or port may result. Do not bind the power cable and the connecting cable together. If the power cable and the connecting cable are bound together, image interference or errors in operation may result.

29 Playing Sound from the Video Equipment The projector has a built-in speaker with a maximum output of 7 W. You can output sound from the connected video equipment (such as a computer or video deck) through the projectors built-in speaker if the video equipment has an audio output port. The [Audio] port to use is the port that is in the same box as the port being used to input the video signals. The audio cable to use for the connection can be either of the following, depending on the shape of the [Audio] port. If the image signals are being input to the [DVI ], [Computer 1] or [Computer 2] port, use the accessory audio cable. If the video signals are being input to the [BNC], [S-Video] or [Video] port, use a commercially-available RCA audio cable.If the image signals are being input to the [Computer 1] port TIP You can adjust the volume after projection has started. p.56 If using a commercially-available 2RCA (L/R)/stereo mini-jack audio cable, use one that is marked as No resistance.
