Connection
Before connection, read carefully the instruction manual for the device to be connected.
Turning off the power switch of the devices before connecting cables.
If any connection cable is not supplied with the device, or if no optional cable is available for connection of the
device, prepare a necessary system connection cable to suit the device.
Video signals containing too much jitter may cause the images on the screen to randomly wobble or wafture.  In
this case, a time base corrector (TBC) must be connected.
The projector accepts the following signals: video, S-Video, analogue RGB and digital signals from the PC.
Some PC models cannot be connected to the projector.
The pin-out and signal names of the S-VIDEO IN terminal are shown in the diagram below.
The pin-out and signal names of the RGB2 input terminal are shown in the diagram below.

Example of connecting with VIDEO devices
• When connecting with a video deck, be sure to use the one with a built-in time base corrector (TBC) or
use a TBC between the projector and the video deck.
• If nonstandard burst signals are connected, the image may be distorted.  If this is the case, connect a
TBC between the projector and the video deck.Attention

Note
• When multiple signals of the same type are switched and input to RGB1 IN (for example, when
switching multiple high-vision signals for usage), use a dedicated signal selector. When the signal
selector is connected to the projector with a RS-232C cable, signals can be used separately
according to the input terminal on the signal selector.
• Carefully read also the instruction manual for the signal selector.

HDCP is a specification for encoding digital image signals which was developed to protect digital content. The 
DVI/HDMI output signals from the HDCP-compliant equipment have been encoded by the HDCP 
specifications to ensure content protection, but the DVI input module is capable of displaying the digital images 
properly since it complies with the HDCP specification.

• Insert the input module suitable for the input signal specifications.
• Normally, use SYSTEM SELECTOR in “AUTO”. 
• Automatic detection may malfunction if any unstable signal is connected.  If this happens, switch to a
system that is compatible with the signal format using the SYSTEM SELECTOR button.
• Use the SYSTEM SELECTOR button to toggle the systems of the input module that supports two types of
signal specifications. Upon toggling, the input signals are displayed on the screen and cleared
automatically.

Installation of input module (optional)
• Insert the input module that meets the input signal specifications.
• Normally, use SYSTEM SELECTOR in “AUTO”.
• Any of the format systems can be selected using the SYSTEM SELECTOR button which supports 9 types
(15 formats) of HD signal standards (SMPTE292M) and 2 types of SD signal standards (SMPTE259M)
shown below by toggling between any one of the formats. During the selection process, the input signals
and other information appear on-screen and are cleared automatically.
• Automatic detection may malfunction if any unstable signal is connected.  If this happens, switch to a system
that is compatible with the signal format using the SYSTEM SELECTOR button.
• Use a 5CFB or superior cable for connection to transmit the image information without error.
(Example: 5CFB, 5CFTX, 7CFB etc.)
