Connecting
Before connecting
f Before connecting, carefully read the operating instructions for the external device to be connected.
f Turn off the power of all devices before connecting cables.
f Take note of the following points before connecting the cables. Failure to do so may result in malfunctions.
g When connecting a cable to a device connected to the projector or the projector itself, touch any nearby
metallic objects to eliminate static electricity from your body before performing work.
g Do not use unnecessarily long cables to connect a device to the projector or to the projector body. The longer
the cable, the more susceptible to noise it becomes. 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 the earthing end rst, then insert the connecting terminal of the connecting
device in a straight manner.
f Acquire any connection cable necessary to connect the external device to the system that is neither supplied
with the device nor available as an option.
f Some computer models or graphics cards are not compatible with the projector.
f Use a cable compensator when you connect devices to the projector using long cables. Otherwise the image
may not display properly.
f Only HDMI signals can be input to the projector. Refer to “List of compatible signals” (x page 149) for the
types of video signals that can be used with the projector.

Attention
f When connecting the projector to a computer or an external device, use the power cord supplied with each device and commercially
available shielded cables.
f When adjusting the orientation of the main unit while connected to an external device via connection cable, please be careful not to damage
the connection cable.
Note
f For an HDMI cable, use an HDMI High Speed cable that conforms to HDMI standards. If a cable that does not conform to HDMI standards
is used, images may be interrupted or may not be displayed.
f The <HDMI IN> terminal of the projector can be connected to an external device with a DVI terminal by using an HDMI/DVI conversion
cable, but the projector may not project the image properly or function properly with some devices.
f The projector does not support VIERA Link (HDMI).
f If you operate the projector using the computer with the resume feature (last memory), you may have to reset the resume feature to operate
the projector.
