Connecting to a video player, etc.

1.  Connect one end (yellow) of the supplied audio/video cable 

to the VIDEO IN terminal of the projector. 

2.  Connect one end (white and red) of the supplied audio/

video cable to the audio input terminals (L/MONO, R) of the 
projector. 

3.  Connect the other end (yellow) of the audio/video cable to 

the video output terminal of the video equipment. 

4.  Connect the other end (white and red) of the audio/video 

cable to the audio output terminals (L, R) of the video 
equipment. 

•  When connecting a monophonic video device, use the white (L) terminal to connect the audio cable. (The same 

audio signal is output from the channels L and R of the AUDIO OUT terminal.) 

•  Also read the instruction manual of the equipment to be connected. 
•  Contact your dealer for details of connection.

When a TV tuner or VCR is connected:

When you use this projector with a TV tuner or VCR connected, no image may appear or a message of NO SIGNAL 
may appear on the screen when you change the channel via any channel that is not being received. In such a case, 
set the channels of the TV tuner or VCR again. To avoid such symptom, use the TV tuner or VCR with its channel skip 
function (that is a function not to display channels that are not being received) enabled. 

When the video equipment is equipped with the S-video 
output terminal, make the connection as follows. 

1.  Connect one end of a commercially available S-video cable 

to the S-VIDEO IN terminal of the projector. 

2.  Connect the other end of the S-video cable to the S-video 

output terminal of the video equipment. 

3.  Connect one end (white and red) of the supplied audio/

video cable to the audio input terminals (L/MONO, R) of the 
projector. 

4.  Connect the other end (white and red) of the supplied 

audio/video cable to the audio output terminals (L, R) of the 
video equipment.
