Some signal sources may have specially-shaped ports. In such cases, use the accessory or optional cables that are supplied with the signal source to make the connections. The cable that should be used to connect video equipment to the projector will depend on the type of video signal that the equipment outputs. Some kinds of video equipment output several different types of video signal. The image quality ranking of the video signal types is generally held to be as follows, in descending order of quality: Digital component video [HDMI ] > Analog component video [D4] [InputA] > S-Video [S-Video] > Composite video [Video] You should refer to the documentation provided with the video equipment being used to check what types of video signal formats the equipment can output. The composite video format is sometimes simply called "video output".
Preparing the Remote Control
Inserting batteries into the remote control
The remote control is not supplied with batteries already inserted. Insert the accessory batteries before using the remote control.
Remove the battery cover.
While pressing the knob, lift up.
Install the battery cover.
Insert the tab. Press down until the battery cover clicks into place.

Insert the batteries.

Check the (+) and (-) indications inside the battery compartment and insert the batteries so that they face correctly.
If delays in the responsiveness of the remote control occur or if it does not operate after it has been used for some time, it probably means that the batteries are becoming flat. If this happens, replace the batteries with two new batteries. Use two new AA batteries as replacement batteries.
