Connecting to Video Equipment
Before connecting, ensure the power cord of the projector from the AC outlet is unplugged,
and that the devices to be connected are turned off. After making all connections, turn on the
projector and then the other devices.
The projector has a DVD digital terminal, computer -RGB/component  terminal, S-video terminal
and  video  terminal for video input. Refer to the listed illustrations on how to connect audio-
visual equipment.
If your audio-visual equipment has an RGB output terminal or component outpu\
t terminal,
use the computer-RGB/component terminals (INPUT 1 or 2) on the projector for video con-
nection.
Connecting to Video Equipment That Has an HDMI Out-
put Terminal with a DVI to HDMI Cable
Use a DVI to HDMI cable when connecting HDMI video equipment such as DVD players to the
INPUT 3 terminal.
Note
• Select the input signal type of the video equipment. See page  63.
• While the projector is connected to video equipment that has an HDMI out\
put terminal, only the video
signal can be input to the projector. (Connect the AUDIO input (2, 3) terminal for audio input.)
• Depending on specifications of video equipment or DVI to HDMI digital cable, the signal transmission
may not work property. (The HDMI specification does not support all connections to video equipment that
has HDMI digital output terminal using a DVI to HDMI digital cable.)
• For details on compatibility for connection, see support information on DVI connection provided by the
video equipment manufacturer.

Connecting to Video Equipment That Has Component
Output Terminals
When connecting the video equipment that has component output terminals \
to the INPUT 1
terminal, use the 3 RCA to 15-pin D-sub cable (optional: AN-C3CP2).
When connecting the video equipment that has component output terminals \
to the INPUT 2
terminals, use the BNC to RCA adaptors (commercially available).
Note
•ø3.5 mm stereo minijack to RCA audio cable (commercially available) is required for audio input.
• Select “480P/525P” or “576P/625P” for “Special Modes” on the “Fine Sync” menu, if necessary. (See page
69 .)
• When you connect video equipment with a 21-pin RGB output (Euro-scart) to the projector, use a com-
mercially available cable that fits in the projector terminal you want to connect.
• The projector does not support RGBC signals via the Euro-scart.

Connect the video equipment to the INPUT 4 or 5 terminal using the S-vid\
eo cable or com-
posite video cable (commercially available).
Note
•The S-video signal input to the S-VIDEO terminal is separated into color and luminance signals for real-
izing a higher-quality image.
• An RCA audio cable (commercially available) is required for audio input.
• When you connect video equipment with a 21-pin RGB output (Euro-scart) to the projector, use a com-
mercially available cable that fits in the projector terminal you want to connect.

Controlling the Projector by a Computer
When the RS-232C terminal on the projector to the RS-232C serial terminal on the computer,
or when the LAN terminal on the projector to the LAN terminal on the computer, the com-
puter can be used to control the projector. Refer to the “SETUP MANUAL” contained on the
supplied CD-ROM for details.
When connecting to a computer using an RS-232C serial control cable
Note
•The RS-232C function may not operate if your computer terminal is not correctly set up. Refer to the
operation manual of the computer for details.
• Refer to “SETUP MANUAL” contained on the supplied CD-ROM for the RS-232C specifications and
commands.
Info
•Do not connect the RS-232C cable to a terminal other than the RS-232C terminal on the computer. This
may damage your computer or projector.
• Do not connect or disconnect an RS-232C serial control cable to or from the computer while it is on. This
may damage your computer.
When connecting to the LAN terminal using a LAN cable
Note
•When connecting to a hub, use straight-through  Category 5 (CAT.5) type cable (commercially available).
• When connecting to a computer, use cross-over  Category 5 (CAT.5) type cable (commercially available).

Connecting to a Monitor That Has an RGB Input Terminal
You can display computer images on a monitor using the RGB cables.
Note
• RGB signals and component signals input from the INPUT 1 or INPUT 2 terminals can be output to the
monitor.
• For inputting video signals from the INPUT 1 terminal, another RGB cable (commercially available) is
required.
Connecting to an Amplifier or Other Audio Equipment
A udio signals input from equipment connected to each audio input terminal of the projector
can be output to audio equipment.
Note
• ø3.5 mm stereo minijack to RCA audio cable (commercially available) is required for audio input.
• When turning off the power in the case of connecting an amplifier or other audio equipment, firs\
t turn off
the power of the amplifier and then turn off the power of the projector.
• By using external audio components, the volume can be amplified for better sound.
• For details on Variable Audio Output (VAO) and Fixed Audio Output (FAO), see page  72.

Power cord
Supplied 
accessoryConnecting the Power Cord
Plug the supplied power cord into the
AC
 socket on the rear of the projector.
Then plug into the AC outlet.
Turning the Projector On
Before performing the steps in this section,
connect any equipment that you use with the
projector. (See pages  27–36 .)
Remove the lens cap and press  on the
projector or  
 on the remote control.
• The power indicator illuminates green.
• After the lamp indicator illuminates, the projec-
tor is ready to start operation.
• When System Lock is set, the keycode input
screen appears. Enter the right keycode to
start projection. See page  79 for details.
Note
• The lamp indicator illuminates or blinks, in-
dicating the status of the lamp.
Green:  The lamp is on.
Blinking green: The lamp is warming up.
Red:
  The lamp is shut down abnor-
mally or the lamp should be
replaced.
•When switching on the projector, a slight flicker-
ing of the image may be experienced within the
first minute after the lamp has been illuminated.
This is normal operation as the lamp’s control
circuitry is stabilizing the lamp output charac-
teristics. This does not indicate malfunction.
• If the projector is put into standby mode and
immediately turned on again, the lamp may
take some time to illuminate.
Turning the Power Off (Put-
ting the Projector into Standby Mode)
