Connecting to a High-End Workstation
The EMP-7350/7250/5350 are capable of remapping input resolutions up to 1280 × 1024 pixels. Since 1280 × 1024 pixels is the default resolution for most leading workstations, this capability makes these projectors the best portable solution for the display of workstation video output.
There is no standard for workstation video output. Those workstations that follow the SXGA standard and use the HD15 connector don’t need an adapter cable. The most popular workstations use a 13-pin 13W3 connector, which requires an adapter cable. Ask your dealer.
Audio 1 jack
audio cable
In addition, workstations pass the sync (synchronization) signal differently, so the VGA-13W3 computer cable (Epson Recommended) has a DIP switch to control sync routing.
Contact your dealer for information on connecting your workstation.
Connecting to a Video Source
You can connect a VCR, a camcorder, a laser disc player, DVD player, or any other compatible video image source to your projector.
The projector can receive composite video, S-Video, or component video. Your equipment has composite video if your video source has a one-pin RCA video jack. Your equipment has S-Video if your video source has a four-pin (mini-DIN) video jack. Your equipment has component video if your video source has a three-connector (Y, R-Y, B-Y) video jack.
♦ Note: The projector is not compatible with a cable TV-style F connector.
You can connect the projector to an S-Video source, a composite video source, and a component video source at the same time.
The projector supports NTSC, PAL, and SECAM video formats, and automatically detects and identifies the video format. However, you can specify that a single broadcast format be detected. (See Chapter 3.) Note that the projector will then be able to detect only one type of video signal.
For component video, use the BNC type cable that came with your video source. The illustration below shows the S-Video, component, and composite connectors.
To connect a video source to the projector:
1. Turn off the projector and video source if they are on.
2. If your video source uses a small, round, one-prong composite (RCA) video connector, you’ll need the audio/
video cable that comes with the projector. If your video source uses a large, round, four-prong S-Video connector or a BNC type connector, you will need to purchase the appropriate cable or use the cable that came with your video source.
3. For composite video, connect the yellow RCA plug on one end of the audio/video cable to the projector’s Video jack. Connect the other yellow RCA plug to the video-out jack of your video source.

4. Connect the other plugs on the audio/video cable to the Audio jacks of the projector: insert the white plug into the L jack and the red plug into the R jack. Connect the plug at the other end of the audio/video cable to the audio output jacks of the video source.
5. For S-Video, insert one end of an S-Video cable into the projector’s S-Video connector. Insert the other end into the S-video-out jack of your video source.
6. For component, insert three ends of a BNC cable into the projector’s R/R-Y, G/Y and B/B-Y jacks. Insert the opposite ends of the cable into the Y/Video, C/R-Y, and B-Y jacks on your component video source. (Don’t insert any of the cable ends into the HD/Sync and VD jacks.) 7. Make sure the Computer 2/BNC switch is set to BNC.
♦ Note: When the Computer 2/BNC switch is set to BNC, the projector is unable to project the Computer 2 image signal.
♦ Note: Use a standard BNC cable, which you can purchase from any computer store. The 5BNC video cable supplied by EPSON as an optional accessory does not work with component video.
S-Video connector S-Video cable
Connecting to an External Speaker or PA System
Although the projector’s internal speakers are enough for most small- or medium-size rooms, you can connect the projector to an external speaker or public address (PA) system for large rooms or to gain maximum benefit from the
projector’s built-in 3D sound function.
To connect the projector to an external sound system, you need to obtain an RCA-to-3.5 mm stereo audio cable. You can get one from your computer dealer.
1. Turn off the projector and speaker or PA system if they are on.
2. Connect the cable’s 3.5 mm stereo miniplug to the projector’s Audio Out jack.
3. Connect the RCA plugs to the external amplified speaker or PA system. Insert the cable’s red plug into the Audio R jack, and the white plug into the Audio L jack.
♦ Note: The internal speakers are disabled when an external audio system is used.
