Connecting a monitor
If you want to view your presentation close-up on a monitor as well as on the screen, you can connect the
MONITOR-OUT
signal output jack on the projector to an external monitor.
To connect the projector to a monitor:
1.
Take the supplied Computer cable and connect one end to the D-Sub output terminal of the computer.
2.
Connect the other end of the Computer cable to the
COMPUTER-1
signal input terminal of the
projector.
3.
Take another Computer cable and connect one end to the monitor and the other end to the
MONITOR-OUT
output terminal of the projector.
4.
If you wish to make use of the projector speaker in your presentations, take a suitable audio cable and
connect one end of the cable to the audio output terminal of the computer, and the other end to the
AUDIO IN
terminal of the projector.
5.
If you wish, you can use another suitable audio cable and connect one end of the cable to the
AUDIO
OUT
terminal of the projector, and the other end to your external speakers (not supplied).
Once connected, the audio can be controlled by the projector On-Screen Display (OSD) menus. See
"Adjusting the sound" on page 47
for details.
The final connection path should be like that shown in the following diagram:

Connecting Video source devices
You can connect your projector to various Video source devices that provide any one of the following
output sockets:
•
HDMI/MHL
•
Component Video
•
S-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:
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) supports uncompressed video data transmission between
compatible devices like DTV tuners, DVD players and displays over a single cable. It provides pure
digital viewing experience. See
"Connecting an HDMI device" on page 28
for how to connect the
projector to an HDMI device.
Digital TV tuner and DVD players output Component Video natively, so if available on your devices, this
should be your connection method of choice in preference to (composite) Video. See
Component Video source device" on page 29
for how to connect the projector to a component video
device.
If you have both composite Video and S-Video output terminals on your Video source device, you should
elect to use the S-Video option. See
"Connecting an S-Video source device" on page 30
for how to
connect the projector to an S-Video device.
