Connecting with a HDMI Cable
Connect an HD receiver, DVD, PC, Notebook, or external devices to the projector and
select an appropriate input mode.
With an HDMI cable, you can enjoy high quality picture and sound.
Using a HDMI cable, connect the port of the projector to the HDMI output port
of the device to connect. Both video and audio are output at the same time.

• External audio devices that support SIMPLINK and ARC must be connected
using port. ( )
• When connected with a high-speed HDMI® cable, external audio devices that
support ARC output or SPDIF work with the SIMPLINK function without the
need for an additional optical audio cable.
When connecting PC/laptop
• The projector supports Plug and Play. Your PC will automatically detect the
projector and requires no driver installation.

ConnectingwithaHDBaseTCable(LANCable)
HDBaseT is a connectivity standard that combines digital video and audio as well as
various control signals.
HDBaseT signals can be transmitted up to 100 m (328.0 feet) over a CAT.6 FTP cable.
An HDBaseT TX device allows you to connect multiple sources to the projector via the
HDbaseT connection.

ENGLISH
NOTE
When Using the HDBaseT
• For more information about how to connect an external device to an HDBaseT
TX device (the transmitter), refer to the operator’s manual provided with the
HDBaseT TX device (the transmitter).
• To comply with the specifications of the product, use a CAT.6 FTP cable.
• If you do not use a CAT.6 FTP cable, the screen may not display or a connection
error may occur.
• CAT.6 FTP can be used up to 100m (328.0 feet).
• CAT.5E lower rating is not supported HDBaseT. CAT.5E supports 70m (229.6
feet).
• If HDBaseT cable is used, the cable should not be bent or rolled, it should be
straight.
• HDBaseT cables should not touch the power 110 V/220 V cables. It should not
be in the water.
• Depending on the HDBaseT transmitting device, the screen of external devices
may not be displayed.
40
ENGLISH
The HDBaseT Cable Install
• LAN cables are fairly resilient. Yet, any rough handling, such as tight tie wraps,
clamping or stapling can damage the cable, compromising performance or even
preventing signal transmission. Tie cables loosely with appropriate cable wraps.
• Another important issue for cable integrity is the bend radius. Bend radius is
the inside curve of the cable during and after installation. It is best to keep the
minimum bend radius at least at four times the diameter of the cable.
• Cables should be kept at a distance of at least 30cm (11.8 inches) from power
cables. In an environment prone to high EMI, it is best to use shielded cables.
• If possible, avoid patch cords or cables altogether, as every connection
introduces losses in the transmission. If absolutely necessary, make sure to use
less than two per cable run and keep each less than five meters from the end.

Network Setting Warnings
• Use standard LAN cable (connect to Cat7 or higher with RJ45 connector, 10
Base-T, or 100 Base TX LAN port).
• Resetting the modem may fix some network connection problems. Turn the
power OFF, disconnect and reconnect it, and then turn the power on to solve
the problem.
• LG Electronics is not responsible for any network connection problems or any
faults, malfunctions, or errors caused by network connection.
• The network connection may not work properly because of network settings or
the Internet service provider.
• DSL service must use a DSL modem; and cable service must use a cable modem.
Since only a limited number of network connections may be available, projector
network setting may not be used depending on the contract with Internet
service provider. (If the contract does not allow more than one device per line,
only the already-connected PC may be used.)
• A wireless network can experience interference from other devices that use
the 2.4 GHz frequency (wireless phone, Bluetooth device, or microwave oven).
Although interference can also happen when using the 5 GHz frequency, it is
less likely to occur.
• The wireless environment can make wireless network service run slowly.
• Failure to turn off all local home networks may cause excessive traffic on some
devices.
• The access point device must support wireless connections and wireless
connection feature must be enabled on the device to have AP (access point)
connection. Contact the service provider for availability of wireless connections
on the access point.
• Check SSID and security settings of the AP. Refer to the appropriate
documentation for SSID and security settings of the AP.
• Invalid settings of network devices (wired/wireless line sharer, hub) can cause
the projector to operate slowly or not operate properly. Install the devices
correctly according to the appropriate manual and network.
• The connection method may differ depending on the AP manufacturer.
