Connecting to video equipment having a DVI-D terminal
You can project high-quality images by connecting the DVI-D terminal of this projector to video equipment having a
DVI-D output terminal. In addition, this projector supports HDCP and is able to receive encrypted digital video data
that are output from DVD players.
• For connection to the DVI-D terminal, use a commercially available DVI cable.
• Select DVI as the input source.
• Only RGB signals are supported. Component video signals are not supported.
• HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection), developed by Intel Corporation, is a method to encrypt digital
video data for the purpose of copy protection.
• When DVI is selected as the input source, settings of COLOR, TINT, FINE SYNC., TRACKING, HOLD, etc. are
unavailable.
• Use AUDIO IN-1 terminal for audio input.
When you connect this projector and a DVI-Digital device (such as a DVD player) via the DVI-D (HDCP)
terminal, black color may appear dark and deep, depending on the type of the connected device.
• This depends on the black level setting of the connected device. There are 2 kinds of methods to digitally transfer
image data, in which different black level settings are employed respectively. Therefore, the specifi cations of the
signals output from DVD players differ, depending on the type of the digital data transfer method they use.
• Some DVD players are provided with a function to switch the methods to output DVI-digital signals. When your
DVD player is provided with such function, set it as follows.
EXPAND or ENHANCED
→
NORMAL
• See the users guide of your DVD player for details.
• When your digital device does not have such function, set INPUT LEVEL to ENHANCED in the ADVANCED
MENU of the IMAGE menu of this projector, or adjust the black color by viewing the image.
