Connecting the 
Projector
When you connect the projector, 
make sure to:
• Turn off all equipment before making any 
connections.
• Use the proper cables for each connection.
• Insert the cable plugs firmly; loose 
connections may increase noise and 
reduce performance of picture signals. 
When pulling out a cable, be sure to pull it 
out by the plug, not the cable itself
When connecting to a wireless LAN using 
the Air Shot, see “Operating Instructions for 
Air Shot” stored on the CD-ROM (VPL-
