2. Make sure you have the right cable(s) for the connection(s) you want to use, and the cables are long enough for your setup. If you need a cable longer than the standard 6 to 10 ft, you may need a distribution amplifier.
3. Before you connect your equipment, make sure everything is turned off.
4. Connect your video equipment to the projector.
