    Connecting a Component Video Source
    You will need a special cable to connect your component video 
    equipment to the HD15 (VGA-style) connector on the projector. You 
    can order the HD15 to component cable (ELPKC19) from Epson; see 
    page 11 for more information. 
    1. Locate an HD15 to component video cable or adapter. 
    2. Connect the cable to your player and the 
    Computer 1 or 
    Computer 2 connector on the projector. 
    3. You may need to change the 
    Computer1 Input or Computer2 
    Input
     setting in the projector’s Signal menu to Component 
    (see page 53).
    4. If you want to play sound through the projector, see page 44 for 
    instructions on connecting audio cables.
    5. If you don’t need to make any other connections, see page 15 for 
    instructions on turning on the projector and adjusting the image. 
    Once the projector is turned on, select the image source: press the 
    Search button on the remote control or press the Source 
    Search 
    button on the projector’s control panel repeatedly until 
    the image appears. 
    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 
    Computer Input setting in 
    the Signal menu is set to 
    Auto or Component Video 
    (see page 53).

    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 port (see page 36). Then connect your 
    monitor to the projector’s 
    Monitor Out port, as shown:
     
    note
    The monitor cannot display 
    component video, nor 
    computer images via the 
    Computer2 port.
    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.

    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 
    Audio jack on 
    the projector.
    ■If you have equipment connected to the Computer 1 or 
    Computer 2 port, use a stereo mini-jack cable. Connect the 
    cable to the 
    Audio1 port (for Computer1) or the Audio2 
    port (for Computer2).
    ■If you have equipment connected to the Video or S-Video 
    port, connect an RCA-style audio cable to 
    L-Audio-R.
      
    2. Connect the other end of the cable to the audio output 
    connector(s) on your computer or video equipment.  
    						
    							Connecting to Computers and Other Equipment45
    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.
    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. 
    The projector’s internal speaker system is disabled while sound is 
    output to external speakers. You can use the remote control to adjust 
    the volume.
