Setup & Connections
Plug the supplied power cord into the AC socket on the back of the projector.
Power cord
• Make sure the power cord is firmly connected into the AC socket.
• The projector will enter the standby mode as you re-plug it into the AC socket, when unplugging the power cord after turning the power
off by pressing the
button. However, if the projector was turned off by disconnecting the power cord or by a power failure, the
projector will automatically turn on when plugging the power cord again.
Connect one end of the S-video cable (commercially
available) to the
terminal, or one end
of the video cable to the
terminal on
the projector.
Connect the other end of the S-video cable or the video
cable to the S-video output or Video output terminal of
the video source.
The S-video input terminal uses a video signal system where
the picture is separated into a colour and luminance signal
to realise a higher-quality image.
• For higher quality video, you may use the S-video input terminal on the
projector. An S-video cable is commercially available.
• If your video equipment does not have an S-video output terminal, use
the composite video output terminal.
You can connect your projector to a VCR, laser disc player, DVD player, DTV* decoder and other video equipment.
* DTV is the umbrella term used to describe the new digital television system in the United States.
• Make sure to turn both the projector and the video equipment off, before connecting.
• As this projector is not equipped with audio input terminals, commercially available audio equipment or your own equipment (such as
speakers or amplifiers) should be used.
