Picture (Screen) Size and Projection Distance

The projection screen size varies according to the distance from the lens of the projector to the screen. Install 

the projector so that projected images are projected onto the screen at the optimum size by referring to the 

table below. Use the values in the table as a reference when installing the projector.
When using a wide screen (16:9): In case of displaying the 16:9 picture on the whole of the 16:9 screen.

Before connecting, be sure to unplug the power cord of the projector from the AC outlet and turn off the devices 

to be connected. After making all connections, turn on the projector and then the other devices.

Connecting Equipment with HDMI Output Terminal to the HDMI Terminal on the Projector

HDMI is a new specialized interface capable of delivering a video and audio signal to the terminal using just one cable. 
Since this projector does not support an audio signal by itself, use an amplifi er or other audio device.
For video connection, use a cable that conforms to HDMI standards. Using cables that do not conform to HDMI 
standards may result in a malfunction.

Note

• HDMI (High-Defi nition Multimedia Interface) is a digital AV interface that can deliver a high-defi nition video 

signal, multi-channel audio signal, and bi-directional control signal all in just one cable.

• Because it is compatible with the HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) system, the digital 

video signal does not degrade when transmitted, and a high-quality image with a simple connection can 
be enjoyed.

Connecting Equipment with the HDMI Output Terminal to the DVI Terminal on the Projector

Connecting to Video Equipment

Note

• When connecting the projector to the video equipment in this way, select “Signal Type” in the “Options” 

menu. See page 

44.

• When a DVI to HDMI conversion cable is connected to the HDMI terminal, a proper picture may not be 

displayable.
