l
Measure the distance between the projector and the peripheral device that you want to
connect. Make sure that each cable has enough slack to be placed safely in your room
without presenting a trip hazard.
l
Do not disconnect cables from the ECP to connect peripheral devices because you could
disconnect controls for your interactive whiteboard.
l
Do not connect SBA-L projection audio system speakers to the RCA connector pod.
Connect these speakers to the projector connection panel using a dual-channel (left and
right) RCA plug-to-3.5mm phone connector (included with the speakers).
l
The composite video connector and associated dual channel audio inputs on the projector
and optional RCA connector pod are for input only. These RCA jacks don’t provide an
output signal.
