Connecting Video source devices

You can connect your projector to various Video source devices that provide any one of the following output jacks:

•HDMI

•Component Video

•S-Video

•Video (composite)

You need only connect the projector to a Video source device using just one of the above connecting methods, however each provides a different level of video quality. The method you choose will most likely depend upon the availability of matching terminals on both the projector and the Video source device as described below:

Best video quality

The best available video connection method is HDMI. If your source device is equipped with a HDMI jack, you can enjoy uncompressed digital video quality.

See "Connecting HDMI source devices" on page 21 for how to connect the projector to a HDMI source device and other details.

If no HDMI source is available, the next best video signal is Component Video (not to be confused with composite Video). Digital TV tuners and DVD players output Component Video natively, so if available on your devices, they should be your connection method of choice in preference to S-Video or (composite) Video.

See "Connecting Component Video source devices" on page 22 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 source devices" on page 23 and "Connecting Composite Video source devices" on page 24 for how to connect the projector to an S-Video or Video device.

Connecting Audio

The projector has a built-in mono speaker which is designed to provide basic audio functionality accompanying data presentations for business purposes only. They are not designed for, nor intended for stereo audio reproduction use as might be expected in home theater or home cinema applications. Any stereo audio input (if provided), is mixed into a common mono audio output through the projector speakers.
