Video device connections
No video cables are provided with the projector. You can order cables from 
InFocus or provide your own.
Composite video connection
Plug a composite video cable’s yellow connector into the video-out connector on 
the video device. Plug the other yellow connector into the yellow Video connector 
on the projector.
Plug the white connector of a Mini-plug audio Y-cable into the left audio out 
connector on the video device and plug the red connector into the right audio out 
connector on the video device. Plug the other end of the cable into the Audio In 
connector on the projector.
Keep in mind that video output from composite connections is not as high quality as 
HDMI.
HDMI 1.4 connection
HDMI is a standard, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface. HDMI 
provides an interface between sources, such as set-top boxes, DVD players, and 
receivers and your projector. Plug a HDMI cable into the video out connector on the 
video device and into the HDMI connector on the projector.
To take advantage of HDMI 1.4 Deep Color (30 bit) and Blu-Ray 3D, you must 
have an 1.4-compatible source.
VESA connection
If your video device has a 15-pin VGA output, plug one end of the included 
computer cable into the VGA connector on your video source. This connector may 
be labeled “To Monitor” on the video source. Plug the computer cable into the 
Computer connector on the projector.
Component video connection
If your HD video device has component connectors, an optional Component to 
VESA adapter can be used. Plug the component cable into the video device. Plug 
the other end of the component cable into the adapter and plug the adapter into the 
Computer connector. Keep in mind that video output from component connections 
is not as high quality as HDMI.

Shutting down the projector

detected for 30 minutes.  This black screen helps preserve  the life of the projector. 
The image returns when an active source is  detected or a remote or keypad button is 
pressed.
Auto Off Time
The projector also has an Auto Off Time  feature that automatically turns the 
projector off after no active sources are de tected and no user interaction with the 
projector is performed for 30 minutes. By default, this feature is off. You can 
change the length of time, see  page 30.
