Connecting to an HDMI Video Source
If your video source has an HDMI port, you can connect it to the projector using an optional HDMI cable.
The HDMI connection provides the best image quality.
1. Connect the HDMI cable to your video source's HDMI output port.
2. Connect the other end to one of the projector's HDMI ports.
Note: The projector converts the digital audio signal sent from your video source into a mono analog
signal for the internal speaker or a stereo analog signal if you are connecting to external speakers.
Note: If you have problems hearing audio through the HDMI connection, you can use one of the
projector's audio ports instead to play sound. Connect one end of an optional 3.5 mm stereo mini-jack
audio cable to one of the projector's audio ports and the other end to your computer's audio out port.
Then select the audio port you connected to as the
HDMI1 Audio Output or HDMI2 Audio Output
setting in the Extended menu.

Connecting to an MHL-Compatible Device
If you have an MHL-compatible smartphone or tablet, you can connect it to the projector using either an
MHL cable or an HDMI cable with a device-compatible MHL adapter. If you have a device with a built-in
MHL connector, plug it directly into the
HDMI1/MHL port.
Note: Some connected devices may not charge when using an MHL adapter.
