Connecting Video source devices
You need only connect the projector to a Video source device using just one of the
above connecting methods, however each provides a different level of video quality.
The method you choose will most likely depend upon the availability of matching
terminals on both the projector and the Video source device as described below:
Connecting a HDMI source device
The projector provides a HDMI input jack that allows you to connect it to a HDMI
source device like a DVD player, a DTV tuner or a display.
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) supports uncompressed video data
transmission between compatible devices like DTV tuners, DVD players and displays
over a single cable. It provides pure digital viewing and listening experience.
Examine your Video source device to determine if it has a set of unused HDMI output
jacks available:
• If so, you can continue with this procedure.
• If not, you will need to reassess which method you can use to connect to
the device.
To connect the projector to a HDMI source device:
1. Take a HDMI cable and connect one end to the HDMI output jack of the HDMI
source device. Connect the other end of the cable to the HDMI signal input jack
on the projector. Once connected, the audio can be controlled by the projector
On-Screen Display (OSD) menus. See "Audio" on page 44 for details.
2. Connect the other end of the HDMI cable to the HDMI 1 or HDMI 2 jack on
the projector.
• If the selected video image is not displayed after the projector is turned
on and the correct video source has been selected, check that the Video
source device is turned on and operating correctly. Also check that the
signal cables have been connected correctly.
• In the unlikely event that you connect the projector to a DVD player via
the projector's HDMI input and the projected picture displays wrong
colors, please change the color space to YUV.
