Connections
Connecting to Video Equipment
The image quality is highest in order of the Component signal, the RGB signal, the S-video signal and the
Video signal. If your audio-visual equipment has a component output terminal or RGB output terminal, use the
COMPUTER/COMPONENT terminal 1 or 2 on the projector for video connection.
When connecting video equipment with a DVI output terminal
Note
Select the input signal type of the video equipment. See page 47.
While the projector is connected to video equipment that has an HDMI output terminal, only the video
signal can be input to the projector. (Connect the AUDIO input terminal for audio input.)
Depending on specifications of video equipment or HDMI to DVI digital cable, the signal transmission
may not work property. (The HDMI specification does not support all connections to video equipment
that has HDMI digital output terminal using HDMI to DVI digital cable.)
For details on compatibility for connection, see support information on DVI connection provided by the
video equipment manufacturer.
When connecting video equipment with component video output terminal
(Connecting to COMPUTER/COMPONENT 1 or 2: The illustration shown below is for the former.)
Note
When you connect video equipment with a 21-pin RGB output (Euro-scart) to the projector, use a
commercially available cable that fits in the projector terminal you want to connect.
The projector does not support RGBC signals via the Euro-scart.

This projector may not be able to display images from notebook computers in simultaneous (CRT/LCD)
mode. Should this occur, turn off the LCD display on the notebook computer and output the display data
in ÒCRT onlyÓ mode. Details on how to change display modes can be found in your notebook computerÕs
operation manual.
When this projector receives 640 350 VESA format VGA signals, Ò640 400Ó appears on the screen.
When projecting the RGB interlace signal using COMPUTER/COMPONENT 1, 2 or DVI-D with ÒSignal TypeÓ
set to ÒAutoÓ or ÒRGBÓ, the image may not be projected as desired. In this case, use either Video or S-Video.
Depending on the computer you are using, the output signal may not be faithful to the ÒScreen resolutionÓ
adjustment. Check the settings of the computerÕs signal output. If the settings cannot be changed, it is recom-
mended that the resolution be set to the one that corresponds to Ò 1280 800Ó.
