Connections
Before connecting to the projector
Read carefully the instruction manual for the device to be connected. 
z
Turn off the power switch of the devices before connecting cables. 
z
If any connection cable is not supplied with the device, or if no option\
al cable is available for connection of the  
z
device, prepare a necessary system connection cable to suit the device.
Video signals containing too much jitter may cause the images on the scre\
en to randomly wobble or wafture.   
 
z
In this case, a time base corrector (TBC) must be connected.
The projector accepts the following signals: VIDEO, S-VIDEO, analogue-RGB (with  TTL sync. Level) and 
 
z
digital signal.
Some computer models are not compatible with the projector.
 
z
When using long cables to connect with each of equipment to the projecto\
r, there is a possibility that the image  
z
will not be output correctly unless a compensator is used.
For details on what video signals the projector supports, see “List of compatible signals”. (

Attention
When connecting with a video deck, be sure to use the one with a built-in time base corrector (TBC) or use a  TBC between 
 
z
the projector and the video deck.
If nonstandard burst signals are connected, the image may be distorted. \
If this is the case, connect a TBC between the 
 
z
projector and the video deck.
Note
When using an HDMI cable, check that it is compliant with the HDMI stand\
ard. Using a cable that is not compliant with the 
 
z
HDMI standard may result in problems such as the image cutting out or no\
t appearing.   
When connecting the 1 080p signal using HDMI, use a cable compliant with\
 1 080p signal.
This projector does not support the Viera link (HDMI).
