video cable or a composite
video cable (both commercially
available).
2Connect the projector to the
video equipment using an au-
dio cable (commercially avail-
able).
Note
•The INPUT 4 (S-VIDEO) terminal uses a
video signal system in which the picture
is separated into color and luminance sig-
nals to realize a higher-quality image. To
view a higher-quality image, use a com-
mercially available S-video cable to con-
nect the INPUT 4 terminal on the projec-
tor and the S-video output terminal on the
video equipment.

							Connecting to a
Computer Using a DIN-
D-sub RS-232C Adaptor
and an RS-232C Serial
Control Cable
When the RS-232C terminal on the projector
is connected to a computer with a DIN-D-sub
RS-232C adaptor and an RS-232C serial con-
trol cable (cross type, commercially available),
the computer can be used to control the pro-
jector and check the status of the projector.
See page 89 for details.
1Connect the supplied DIN-D-
sub RS-232C adaptor to an RS-
232C serial control cable (com-
mercially available).
2Use the above cables to con-
nect the projector and the com-
puter.
Note
•Do not connect or disconnect an RS-232C
serial control cable to or from the com-
puter while it is on. This may damage your
computer.
•The RS-232C function may not operate if
your computer terminal is not correctly set
up. Refer to the operation manual of the
computer for details.
