Quick Setup
2 Connect your video source
The projector has 3 video connectors, as shown below. Each one
requires a different type of cable. A computer cable is included.
You can purchase optional video cables through EPSON or at local
electronics stores. You can connect up to 3 video devices and
use the remote control to switch among them.
1 Check the connectors on your video equipment. If more than one
connection is available, choose the one that provides the best
quality. (The projector connectors from highest to lowest quality
are Computer/Component, S-Video, and 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.
3 Before you connect your equipment, make sure everything
is turned off.
4 Connect your video equipment to the projector.
