Mitsubishi DLP home theater projectors are capable of receiving high-definition video information from a video source and then projecting that information out onto a screen or wall at the same high quality. If you want to connect your Dish Network dual receiver box to your Mitsubishi DLP projector, use either an HDMI or component video cable. These two cables are capable of transmitting the high-definition video information and taking advantage of the high quality of your projector.
Instructions
1. Plug your Mitsubishi DLP projector into an electrical outlet in a surge protector, power strip or wall.
2. Plug one end of either an HDMI video cable or a component video cable into your Mitsubishi DLP projector. If you're using an HDMI video cable, you only need to plug one cable into the HDMI video input on the projector. A component video cable actually splits off into three plugs at each end--one red, one green and one blue. Plug each of these three plugs into the color-coded inputs on the back of the Mitsubishi DLP projector.
3. Plug the other end of the video cable you've chosen to use into the appropriate video output on your Dish Network dual receiver box. As with before, an HDMI video cable only features one plug that gets inserted into the output, while a component video cable actually has three distinct plugs that need to be plugged into the correctly colored outputs for the cable to function properly.
4. Turn on your Mitsubishi DLP projector. Let it warm up for a few seconds before turning on your Dish Network dual receiver box.
5. Turn on your Dish Network dual receiver box. You now see the image being received from your television service provider through the box projected via the DLP projector. Switch to a different channel by using the receiver's remote control the same way you would if the device were connected to a regular television set.
