Quick Setup

Your projector comes with the following items:

Projector

Power cord

Remote control

Batteries

Rubber feet

The projector has 5 connectors, as shown below. Each one is color-coded and requires

a different type of cable (not included). You can connect up to 5 video devices and

use the remote control to switch from one to the other.

1

Check the connectors on your video equipment. If more than one

connection is available, choose the one that provides the best quality.

For example, component video produces higher quality images than

S-video or composite video.

2

Make sure you have the right cable(s) for the connection(s) you want to use,

and the cables are long enough for your setup. If you need a cable longer

than the standard 6 to 10 feet, you may need a distribution amplifier.

Before you connect your equipment, make sure everything is turned off.

Connect your video equipment to the projector using any of the available
