Connecting to a Video Source
You can use this connection procedure to connect a video tape deck,
a camcorder, a laser disc player or any other compatible video image
source to the projector. The projector can receive composite video or
S-Video signals. If your video source has a one-pin RCA video jack
you have composite video. If your video source has a four-pin video
jack you have S-Video.
uNote: The projector is not compatible with a cable TV-style F connector.
You can connect to both an S-Video and a composite video source at
the same time. However, the projector automatically selects the
S-Video source. To display composite video you must disconnect the
S-Video source.

A/V cable
The projector supports NTSC, PAL and SECAM video formats. By
default, it automatically detects and identifies the video format.
However, you can set it to detect a single broadcast format. (See
ÒVideo menuÓ in Chapter 3.) Note that the projector will then be
able to detect only one type of video signal.
The type of cable you need to connect the video source to the projec-
tor depends on whether you have composite video or S-Video. For
composite video, use the video/audio cable supplied with the projec-
tor. For S-Video, use the S-Video cable and audio cable supplied with
your video device or obtain one from your computer dealer.
1. Switch off the projector and video source if they are on.
2.
If your composite video uses an RCA-type composite video
connector, you will need the audio/video cable supplied with the
EMP-7100/5100. If your video uses a large S-Video connector,
you will need to provide YOUR OWN S-Video cable or use the S-
Video cable that came with your video source.
3. For composite video, connect the yellow RCA plug at one end of
the video/audio cable to the projectorÕs Video In jack. Connect
the other yellow RCA plug to the video-out jack on the video
source. (The red and white plugs carry audio signals. For infor-
mation about audio, see page 17.)

Connecting to an Audio Source
The projector has three types of inputs for audio: two single-jack
inputs for a computer and one two-jack input for video audio. The
video audio source input has an L jack which contr ols the left speaker
and an R jack which controls the right speaker. If you are connected
to a video audio source with only one plug, connect it to the L Audio
In jack.
Connection of an audio cable from a computer source;
1. Switch off the projector and computer source if they are on.
2. Connect one end of the audio cable to the Computer Audio In
jack on the projector.
3. Connect the other end of the audio cable to the audio output
jack on the computer audio source.

Connecting to an External Speaker or PA System
Though the projectorÕs internal speakers are enough for most small-
size or medium-size rooms, an external speaker can be connected to
achieve the best results for large room presentations.
A commercially available RCA-to-3.5 mm stereo mini audio cable or
3.5 mm stereo mini audio cable is required to connect the projectorÕs
3.5 mm stereo mini jack to an external speaker or a PA system. These
items can be obtained from your computer dealer.
1. Check to ensure that both the projector and all sources are
turned off.
2. Connect the cableÕs 3.5 mm stereo mini-plug to the projectorÕs
Audio Out jack.
3. Connect the other end of the cable to the external speaker or PA
system.
¥Ensure you to connect the red RCA plug to the right channel
and the white RCA plug to the left channel.
¥The Spatializer function is only available for the internal speak-
ers. It has no ef fect on the audio output of external speakers.

							202 ¥ Using the Projector
Turning the Equipment On and Off
Always turn on the pr ojector and its attached equipment in the
following order.
1. Video source
2. Audio source (if different than computer or video source)
3. Projector
4. External speaker or PA system
5. Computer
Remove the projectorÕs lens cap befor e turning on projector. The
operation indicator will flash for a while and then light up to indicate
that power is on. If a computer or video equipment is attached to the
projector, the video signal or computer signal from the attached
equipment will be projected. It will take at least 30 seconds after
turning the power on before a normal image appears.
u
Warning: Never look into the lens when the lamp is on. This can
damage your eyes. It is especially important that children are not
allowed to look into the lens.
u
Note: Remove the projectorÕs lens cap when you project. The light
from the pr ojector may cause the lens cap to warp.
Reverse the order shown above to turn off the projector and other
equipment. After you press the Power button to turn off the projec-
tor, the fan will remain on and the operation indicator will flash
orange for about one minute as the projector cools. The indicator
stops blinking (and remains lit in orange) when the cooling operation
is complete. 
						

							21
uNote: The projector is designed so that it cannot be turned back on
while the power indicator is flashing green. Before pressing the Power
button again, wait until the lamp has cooled and the power indicator
is orange.
Adjusting the Screen Image
Focus and zoom
After an image appears on the screen, check to see if it is in focus and
whether it fits properly on the screen. To adjust the focus of the
image, rotate the focus ring, which is the outer ring on the
projectorÕs lens. To adjust the size of the image, rotate the inner
zoom ring. Rotate the zoom ring clockwise to make the image larger,
and counterclockwise to make it smaller.

Screen Image Position
If you need to raise or lower the image on the screen, extend or
retract the front foot on the bottom of the projector.
1. While standing behind the projector and supporting the front of
it by holding the handle located below the lens, press down on
the foot release button. This unlocks the front foot, allowing it to
move up and down freely. Take care that the projector does not
suddenly drop down at this time.
2. While pressing the foot release button, raise and lower the
projector until the screen image is positioned the way you want
it.
3. Release the foot release button to lock the front foot in its
present position.
4. Rotate the left foot at the back of the projector to fine-tune the
position of the projected image.
u
Note: This foot is locked. You will need to unlock it before it can be
rotated.
