By inputting a High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection high-definition picture source to the HDMI IN terminals of
this Projection Display, high-definition pictures can be displayed on the screen in their digital form. (This terminal is
for use with HDMI equipped DVD players, Set top boxes and D-VHS machines.)

• The HDMI IN terminals can only be used with 1080i, 1080p, 720p, 480p and 480i picture signals.
• If there is no audio, check if the source equipment has PCM output. If not, please use analog connections.
• Be sure HDMI is securely connected. If not, picture noise and/or incorrect picture display may result.
• With HDMI connection, depending on the signal, the picture may be displayed with unnatural colors (as if red and blue are
reversed). Refer to “Color corr.” on page 46.
• If the external device has only a DVI output, connect to the HDMI terminal via a DVI to HDMI adaptor cable* 1 .
• When the DVI to HDMI adaptor cable* 1 is used, connect the audio cable to the audio input terminal.

HDMI is the first all digital consumer electronics A/V interface that supports several uncompressed standards,
enhanced and high definition video formats as well as all existing multi-channel audio formats. One jack supports
both video and audio information. The HDMI/HDCP* 1 input can be connected to an EIA/CEA 861/861B* 2 compliant
consumer electronic device, such as a set top box or DVD player equipped with a HDMI output connection. By
inputting a High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) high definition picture source to the HDMI terminal
of this unit, high definition pictures can be displayed on the screen in their digital form. The HDMI input terminal is
not intended to be used with personal computers. This unit is compatible with 1080i, 1080p, 720p, 480p and 480i
formats. Select the output of the connected device to match that of the unit.
