Connecting with video equipment

You can connect the projector to any type of video equipment, such as a VCR, DVD player, digital tuner, cable or satellite decoder, video game console or digital camera. You can also connect it to a desktop or laptop PC or Apple Macintosh system. However, it has no built-in speakers and cannot be connected to audio equipment.

The projector can be connected to multiple video equipment at the same time by using different cables. All you need to do is select the appropriate input for the projector to display.

Best video quality

The best available video connection method is HDMI. HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) supports uncompressed video data transmission between compatible devices like DTV tuners, DVD players and displays over a single cable. It provides pure digital viewing and listening experience.

See "Connecting HDMI devices" on page 17 for how to connect the projector to a HDMI device.

The RGBHV also provides high video quality that transmits Red, Green, Blue, Horizontal and Vertical sync signals separately on its own conductor.

See "Connecting RGBHV devices" on page 17 for how to connect the projector to a RGBHV device.

The next best video signal is Component Video (not to be confused with composite Video). Digital TV tuner and DVD players output Component Video natively, so if available on your devices, this should be your connection method of choice in preference to (composite) Video.

See "Connecting component-video devices" on page 17 for how to connect the projector to a component video device.

Better video quality

The S-Video method provides a better quality analog video than standard composite Video. If you have both composite Video and S-Video output terminals on your Video source device, you should elect to use the S-Video option.

Least video quality

Composite Video is an analog video and will result in a perfectly acceptable, but less than optimal result from your projector, being the least video quality of the available methods described here.

See "Connecting S-Video or video devices" on page 18 for how to connect the projector to an S-Video or composite Video device.

Preparations

When connecting a signal source to the projector, be sure to:

1.Turn off all equipment before making any connections.

2.Use only the correct type cables for each source with proper type plugs.

3.Ensure that all cable plugs are firmly fitted to the equipment sockets.

Note that all cables shown in the following connection diagrams may not be supplied with the projector (See "Shipping contents" on page 6 for details). Most cables are commercially available from electronics stores.
