Measure the distance between the projector and the peripheral device you want to connect.
Make sure each cable is long enough, has plenty of slack and can be placed safely in your
room without presenting a trip hazard.
l
Do not disconnect cables from the ECP to connect peripheral devices because you could
disconnect controls for your interactive whiteboard.
l
Don’t connect SBA-L projection audio system speakers to the RCA connector pod. Connect
these speakers to the projector connection panel using a dual-channel (left and right) RCA
plug-to-3.5 mm phone connector (included with the speakers).
l
The composite video connector and associated dual channel audio inputs on the projector
and optional RCA connector pod are for input only. These RCA jacks don’t provide an output
signal.
