Connecting a video device

You can connect video devices such as VCRs, DVD players, camcorders, digital cameras, video game consoles, HDTV receivers, and TV tuners to the projector. You can connect the audio directly to the projector to get sound from the built-in speaker, or you can bypass the projector’s audio system and connect the audio directly from your source to a stereo or home theater system.

You can connect the projector to most video devices that can output video. You cannot directly connect the coaxial cable that enters your house from a cable or satellite company; the signal must pass through a tuner first.

Examples of tuners are digital cable boxes, VCRs, digital video recorders, and satellite TV boxes. Basically, any device that can change channels is considered a tuner.

Although the aspect ratio is automatically selected by the projector based on the signal input, you can change the aspect ratio, if desired. The projector’s Aspect Ratio setting is accessed through the Resize button on the remote or through the projector’s Basic Picture Menu. See page 27 for more information.

Video device connections

No video cables are provided with the projector. You can order cables from InFocus or use your own.

Composite video connection

Plug the composite video cable’s yellow connector into the video out connector on the video device. Plug the other yellow connector into the yellow Composite connector on the projector.

Plug the white connector of a Mini-plug audio Y-cable into the left audio out connector on the video device and plug the red connector into the right audio out connector on the video device. Plug the other end of the cable into the associated audio in connector on the projector.

Keep in mind that video output from composite connections is not as high quality as S-video.

S-video connection

If your video device uses a round, four-prong S-video connector, plug an S- video cable into the S-video connector on your video device and into the S- video connector on the projector. Use the audio cable as described above.

Keep in mind that video output from S-video connections is not as high quality as component.

VGA connection

If your video device has a 15-pin VGA output, plug one end of the included computer cable into the VGA connector on your video source. This connector may be labeled “To Monitor” on the video source. Plug the computer cable into the VGA 1 or VGA 2 connector on the projector.

Component video connection

A Component to VGA adapter can be used in conjunction with the VGA connectors. Plug the component cable into the video device. Plug the other end of the component cable into the adapter and plug the adapter into the VGA 1 or VGA 2 connector.

Component offers the highest quality video output.
