Making Connections
The 3M MP180 projector will display informational icons depending on the input
device and signal being detected. If no devices or input cables are connected to the
projector, the home screen will display. The 3M MP180 was designed to operate
with the 3M VGA and AVcablesonly.
Connecting to a Composite Video Device
Use the AV cable to input video from camcorders, digital cameras, DVD players and
digital media players into the VGA-AV input on the projector.
1 Connect the AV cable to the projector’s VGA-AV input.
2 Connect the other end of the AV cable to the video device’s audio and video
outputs.
Tip: Some video devices do not have the standard audio and video connections
and may require an AV cable specified by the manufacturer. The AV cable
allows you to connect your video device to your TV monitor or your projector
and may be purchased from the video device manufacturer. Once you have
the AV cable, use the cable adapters to connect the video device cable and the
projector cable.

English
Connecting to a Component Video Device
For component video input, you must purchase the optional 3M MP180 Component
AV Cable. This cable sends a higher quality video signal for the best possible image.
1 Connect the component AV cable to the projector’s VGA-AV input.
2 Connect the other end of the AV cable to the video device’s audio and video
outputs.
Important Note: There are two red connectors on the Component AV cable.
One is for the right audio channel and the other is for the Pr component video
signal. Be careful to connect the red audio to red audio and red video to red
video. If these connectors are switched, the projected image will appear green
and an abnormal noise will come from the rightspeaker.
Tip: Some video devices do not have the standard audio and video connections
and may require an AV cable specified by the manufacturer. The AV cable
allows you to connect your video device to your TV monitor or your projector
and may be purchased from the video device manufacturer. Once you have
the AV cable, use the cable adapters to connect the video device cable and the
projector cable.
Some video devices, by default, will not output a video signal. The video
device’s manual should provide instructions on how to change the video
output setting.
