    Connecting
    Before connecting
     fBefore connecting, carefully read the operating instructions for the external device to be connected.
     fTurn off the power switch of the devices before connecting cables.
     fTake note of the following points before connecting the cables. Failure to do so may result in malfunctions.
    -  When connecting a cable to a device connected to the projector or the projector itself, touch any nearby metallic objects to eliminate static electricity from your body before performing work.
    -  Do not use unnecessarily long cables to connect to a device connected to\
     the projector or to the projector body. The longer the cable, the more it is susceptible to noise. Since using a cable whil\
    e it is wound makes it act like an antenna, it is more susceptible to noise.
    -  When connecting cables, connect GND first, then insert the connecting terminal of the connecting device in a straight manner.
     fIf any connection cable is not supplied with the device, or if no option\
    al cable is available for connection of the device, prepare a necessary system connection cable to suit the device.
     fVideo signals containing too much jitter may cause the images on the scre\
    en to randomly wobble or wafture. In this case, a time base corrector (TBC) must be connected.
     fThe projector accepts Video signals, S-video signals and YCBCR/YPBPR signals and analog RGB signals (synchronous signals are TTL level), and digital signal.
     fSome computer models or graphics cards are not compatible with the proje\
    ctor.
     fWhen using long cables to connect with each of equipment to the projector , there is a possibility that the image will not be output correctly unless a compensator is used.
     fFor details on what video signals the projector supports, see “List of compatible signals”. (Æ page 106)

     fAlways use one of the following when connecting a VCR. 
    - A VCR with built-in time base corrector (TBC). 
    - A time base corrector (TBC) between the projector and the VCR.
     fIf nonstandard burst signals are connected, the image may be distorted. \
    In such case, connect the time base corrector 
    (TBC) between the projector and the external devices.
    Note
     fFor an HDMI cable, use an HDMI High Speed cable that conforms to HDMI standards. If a cable that does not conform to 
    HDMI standards is used, images may be interrupted or may not be displaye\

     fThis projector does not support the VIERA link (HDMI).
     fWhen the  terminal is connected with cable, the sound will not be output from the built-in speaker.
