Setting up User’s Guide 25 Connecting a sound system A high-quality 2.1 sound system is built into the projector. No connections are required when using the internal DVD player. If you connect an external video source to the projector, you can also connect its audio output to the projector’s audio input. ✎ If you want to listen to the audio in private, connect a stereo headphone to the headphone output. This disables the built-in speakers.
26 User’s Guide Setting up If you have a home theater system or external sound system, you can connect the audio output from the internal DVD player to that system. You can connect a 5.1 surround sound system with five speakers and a subwoofer for full surround sound (connection 1 in the following illustration). The digital audio output is active only when using the internal DVD player. A digital audio connection requires a digital coaxial cable, not an ordinary audio cable. Or you can connect a stereo sound system to the projector (connection 2 in the following illustration). ✎ If you connect an external sound system, turn off the internal speakers. Press the menu button, go to Sound > Internal speakers, and turn them off.
Setting up User’s Guide 27 Connecting several video sources If you have several video sources, connect them to an audio/video receiver or switch box, then connect the video output from the receiver or switch box to the projector using the highest quality connection available. Also connect the audio outputs from all sources to the receiver, switch box, or sound system. ✎ Connect the projector’s digital audio output or stereo audio output to the receiver, switch box, or sound system. This sends the audio from the internal DVD player to the sound system.
28 User’s Guide Setting up Connecting a computer You can connect a computer to the projector and show the computer display on the screen. This requires a DVI-to-VGA adapter (included with the projector) and a VGA cable (not provided). Requires: ■DVI-to-VGA adapter ■VGA cable See “Showing a computer screen” on page 43. ✎If the computer display does not appear on the projector, you might have to press a combination of keys on the computer to turn on the computer’s VGA output. For example, on some computers you must press Fn+F4 or Fn+F5. For instructions, refer to the user documentation provided with your computer.
Setting up User’s Guide 29 Turning the projector on and off Turning the projector on 1. Be sure the power cord is connected. 2. Open the lens by sliding the lens cover 1 to the left. 3. Press the power button 2 on the projector or on the remote control. The projector takes a minute or so to warm up. The power button blinks during warm-up. ✎It is normal for parts of the projector and the air coming out of the projector to be very warm. If the projector starts to overheat, the temperature warning light will turn on and the projector will shut down.
30 User’s Guide Setting up Turning the projector off 1. Press the power button on the projector or remote control to turn off the projector. Do not hold the button down. The power button blinks during the cool-down period, then the projector turns off. Even though the projector is off, it uses a small amount of power internally. 2. If you want, disconnect video and audio equipment from the projector during the cool-down period or after the power button stops blinking. Ä CAUTION: Do not disconnect power until the projector has cooled down (the fan stops) and the power button stops blinking. Otherwise, you might shorten the life of the lamp. 3. If you must unplug or remove the projector, wait until the power light stops blinking, then unplug the power cord. If you try to turn on the projector again or insert a disc in the DVD tray during the cool-down period, the projector does not turn on. Wait until the cool-down period ends and the power button stops blinking. Moving the projector When moving the projector: ■Allow the projector to cool down before moving it. Then disconnect all cables. ■Avoid bumps and jolts. Use a padded container when possible. ■Observe temperature and humidity limits (see “Specifications” on page 69). If the projector is cold, allow it to warm gradually to avoid condensation.
