Additional Components
Depending on how you plan to use the projector, you may need to obtain the following additional components:
• To receive an S-Video signal, you need an S-Video cable compatible with your device. See your local computer or electronics dealer for purchase information.
• To receive a component video signal, you need a D-sub, 15-pin, component-to-VGA video cable. You can purchase one from Epson or an authorized EPSON reseller.
• To receive an HDMI signal, you need a compatible HDMI cable. See your local computer or electronics dealer for purchase information.
Note: To connect a Mac that includes only a Mini DisplayPort or Mini-DVI port for video output, you need to obtain an adapter that allows you to connect to the projector's HDMI port. Contact Apple for compatible adapter options. Older Mac computers (2009 and earlier) may not support audio through the HDMI port.
• If you did not purchase a mount that included a VGA cable, you need a VGA computer cable. You can purchase one from Epson or an authorized EPSON reseller.
