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
* An accessory audio cable is not supplied with the EMP-9300. Use a 
commePrcially-available audio cable instead.
TIP
 You can adjust the volume after projection has started.   p.61
 If using a commercially-available 2RCA (L/R)/stereo mini-jack 
audio cable, use one that is marked as No resistance.

(3.5 mm) plugs or similar.
Use an audio cable with plugs that match the ports for the external audio 
equipment.To external audio equipment

port, the sound will be output to external speakers. No sound will be 
output from the projectors built-in speaker at this time.

Connecting to an External Monitor
If an external monitor is connected to the projector, you can operate the 
connected video equipment while viewing the images on the external 
monitor at the same time that they are being projected. This is useful when 
giving presentations. The signals being input from the video equipment 
can also be checked on the external monitor even when the projector itself 
is not projecting images (for example, when it is in standby mode) by using 
the standby monitor out function.
Connecting an External Monitor
Connect the external monitor using the cable that is provided with the 
monitor.
TIP
Some LCD monitors may not be able to display images when they are 
connected to the projector. In such cases, it may be possible for the 
images to be displayed if the following changes are made, depending 
on the image source. The same applies when using the Standby 
Monitor Out function.
When projecting computer images: 
Change the computers refresh rate to 65 Hz or greater. 
Alternatively, connect a multiscan CRT monitor.
When projecting video equipment images:
Connect a multiscan CRT monitor.

Connecting to an External Monitor
Checking Projected Images on an External Monitor 
While the Projector is at Standby (Standby Monitor Out)
Standby mode is the mode where the projectors power cable is 
connected to the projector but the [Power] button has not been pressed (the 
projection lamp is not turned on). 
If the image signals from the connected video source are still being input 
even though the projector is in standby mode, the images can be displayed 
on an external monitor so that you can check the signals, and you can also 
change the video source. When the projectors power is turned on, the 
images that are being displayed on the external monitor will then be 
projected.
To use the standby monitor out function, change the Standby Mode 
setting in the Advanced1 menu to Network ON.   p.91
TIP
 Setting gauges for functions such as keystone correction and 
configuration menu and help menu displays are also output to the 
external monitor.
 If the A/V mute function is operating and the projected images have 
been muted, the input signal images can still be displayed on the 
external monitor, and the [Source] buttons on the remote control and 
the projectors control panel can be used to change the signal source. 
To display the input signal images on the external monitor while the 
A/V mute function is active, change the A/V Mute setting in the 
Setting menu to Black. If the A/V Mute setting is Blue or 
Logo, the external monitor display will be the same as the image 
projected.
 When keystone correction is carried out, distortion will appear in the 
images displayed on the external monitor.
 The settings that have been made using the Color Mode, Color 
Adjustment, Black Level, White Level, Rear Proj. and 
Ceiling menus will not appear in the images that are displayed on 
the external monitor.
TIP
Any sound being output from the projectors built-in speaker or from 
external speakers will be muted while standby monitor out is being 
used.

Installing the Cable Cover
If the projector has been installed on a ceiling and then connected to a 
computer or other video source, you can then install the accessory cable 
cover. It covers the input and output ports and the cable connectors at the 
rear of the projector to provide greater protection.
Insert the cover tabs into the three cable cover mounting holes in the base 
of the projector, and then push the cable cover in until it clicks into place.Remove the cable cover when replacing the lamp and when connecting and 
disconnecting any of the cables.
Pull the cable cover lever in the [OPEN  ] direction to remove the cable 
cover.Installation

Preventing theft (Password Protect)(EMP-9300 only)
The Password Protect function is only available with the EMP-9300.
When the Password Protect function is activated, people who do not know 
the password cannot use the projector to project images when the power is 
turned on. Furthermore, the company logo and administrators name that 
are displayed when the power is turned on cannot be changed. This means 
that the projector cannot be used if it is taken without authorisation, and 
thus serves as a theft-prevention feature.

you press the [Num] button, the [Num] button will illuminate and the
