							13Step 2: Connecting the Projector
Connections and PreparationsStep 2: Connecting the Projector
When making connections, be sure to do the following:
• Turn off all equipment before making any connections.
• Use the proper cables for each connection.
• Insert the cable plugs properly; plugs that are not fully inserted often generate noise. When pulling out a cable, be sure to pull it out from the plug, 
not the cable itself.
• Refer to the operating instructions of the connected equipment.
To connect to a DVD player/recorder or digital tuner equipped with 
component video connectors
Tip
To connect the projector to a DVD player/recorder, hard disk video recorder, digital 
tuner, etc. which is not equipped with component video connectors, it is recommended 
to connect to the S-video output of the DVD player/recorder, hard disk video recorder, 
digital tuner, etc. using the S video cable. If the connected equipment is not equipped 
with the S-video output connector, use the video cable to connect to the video output 
jack on the equipment.

							14Step 2: Connecting the Projector
To connect to a DVD player/recorder equipped with HDMI 
output
You can enjoy better picture quality by connecting a DVD player/recorder 
equipped with HDMI output to the HDMI input of the projector.
When the 720p signals (signals preset with memory Nos. 10 and 11) are input, noise 
may appear around the projected picture in rare cases. This noise is from the 720p 
signals. If you do not want to display the noise, use component video connectors to 
connect the equipment instead.
