When connecting to equipment with HDMI output teminal (INPUT6)
HDMI is a new specialized interface capable of delivering a video and audio signal to
the terminal using just one cable. Since this projector does not support an audio signal
by itself, use an amplifier or other audio device.
For video connection, use a cable that conforms to HDMI standards. Using cables that
do not conform to HDMI standards may result in a malfunction.
