Connecting Video source devices
You can connect your projector to various Video source devices that provide any one 
of the following output sockets:
•HDMI
• Component Video
• Video (composite)
You need only connect the projector to a Video source device using just one of the 
above connecting methods, however each provides a different level of video quality. 
The method you choose will most likely depend upon the availability of matching 
terminals on both the projector and the Video source device as described below:
Connecting an HDMI source device
Examine your Video source device to determine if it has a set of unused HDMI output 
jacks available:
• If so, you can continue with this procedure.
• If not, you will need to reassess which method you can use to connect to the device.
To connect the projector to an HDMI source device:
1. Take an HDMI cable and connect one end to the HDMI output jack of the HDMI 
source device.
2. Connect the other end of the HDMI cable to the HDMI jack on the projector.
Connecting a Component Video source device
Examine your Video source device to determine if it has a set of unused Component 
Video output sockets available:
• If so, you can continue with this procedure.
• If not, you will need to reassess which method you can use to connect to the device.

1. Take a VGA (D-Sub) to HDTV (RCA) cable and connect the end with 3 RCA type 
connectors to the Component Video output sockets of the Video source device. 
Match the color of the plugs to the color of the sockets; green to green, blue to 
blue, and red to red.
2. Connect the other end of the cable (with a D-Sub type connector) to the COM-
PUTER IN socket on the projector.
Important
• If the selected video image is not displayed after the projector is turned on and the 
correct video source has been selected, check that the Video source device is turned on 
and operating correctly. Also check that the signal cables have been connected 
correctly.
Connecting a composite Video source device
Examine your Video source device to determine if it has a set of unused composite 
Video output sockets available:
• If so, you can continue with this procedure.
• If not, you will need to reassess which method you can use to connect to the device.
To connect the projector to a composite Video source device:
1. Take a Video cable and connect one end to the composite Video output socket of
the Video source device.
2. Connect the other end of the Video cable to the VIDEO socket on the projector.

Video and S-Video inputs are unavailable for use. See Connecting Video source 
devices on page 16 for details.
Playing sound through the projector
You can make use of the projector (mixed mono) speaker in your presentations, and 
also connect separate amplified speakers to the AUDIO OUT socket of the projector.
If you have a separate sound system, you will most likely want to connect the audio 
output of your Video source device to that sound system, instead of to the mono audio 
projector.
You can also use a microphone to output the sound through the projector speaker 
when the SYSTEM SETTING: ADVANCED > Audio Settings > Audio In 2 menu is 
set to Microphone. See Adjusting the Audio In 2 setting on page 42 for details.
Once connected, the audio can be controlled by the projector On-Screen Display 
(OSD) menus. See Adjusting the sound on page 41 for details.

About the microphone input
• If you wish to use a microphone, connect a 3.5 mini jack cable microphone to the 
projector.
• There are two ways to adjust microphone volumes.
• Directly set microphone volume levels in the SYSTEM SETTING: ADVANCED 
> Audio Settings > Microphone Volume menu.
• Set projector volume levels in the SYSTEM SETTING: ADVANCED > Audio 
Settings > Audio Volume menu, or press Volume keys (+, -) on the remote 
control. (The projector volume setting will affect the microphone volume.)
• To make the microphone input available when the projector is in standby mode, turn 
on the SYSTEM SETTING: ADVANCED > Audio Settings > Active Audio out 
menu.
• If the microphone is not working, check the volume setting and cable connection.
• You might get feedback noise from the microphone when you are too close to the 
speaker of the projector. Move the microphone away from the speaker of the 
projector. The greater volume you require, the greater distance you need to be 
away from the Speaker to prevent the noise.
