Connecting

Before connecting

f Before connecting, carefully read the operating instructions for the external device to be connected.
f Turn off the power switch of the devices before connecting cables.
f Connect cables taking care of the following descriptions. Failure to do so may result in malfunctions.
g When connecting a cable to the projector or an external device connected to the projector, touch any nearby
metallic objects to eliminate static electricity from your body before performing work.
g Do not use unnecessarily long cables to connect to the projector or a device connected to the projector. The
longer the cable, the more it is susceptible to noise. Since using a cable while it is wound makes it act like an
antenna, it is more susceptible to noise.
g When connecting cables, connect GND first, then insert the connecting terminal of the connecting device
straightly.
f If any connection cable is not supplied with the device, or if no optional cable is available for connection of the
device, prepare a necessary system connection cable to suit the device.
f Image signals from the video devices containing too much jitter may cause the images on the screen to
randomly wobble or wafture. In this case, a time base corrector (TBC) must be connected.
f Some computer models or graphics cards are not compatible with the projector.
f Connect using an extension device, etc., when installing the projector away from the video equipment. The
projector may not display the image properly when it is connected directly using a long cable.
f For details on what image signals the projector supports, refer to "List of compatible signals" (x page 156).

Note
f For an HDMI cable, use an HDMI High Speed cable that conforms to HDMI standards. In addition, when 4K image signal is to be input,
please use HDMI cable that is compatible with 4K image signal. Images may be disrupted or may not be projected when an image signal
exceeding the supported transmission speed of the HDMI cable is input.
f The <HDMI IN 1> terminal /<HDMI IN 2> terminal can be connected to an external device with the DVI-D terminal by using an HDMI/DVI
conversion cable. However, this may not function properly for some external devices, and image may not be projected.
f To output audio, properly set the [PROJECTOR SETUP] menu → [AUDIO SETTING] → [AUDIO IN SELECT].
f When the <AUDIO OUT> terminal is connected with cable, the sound will not be output from the built-in speaker.
