Connecting Video source devices

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

•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. 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 a HDMI device" on page 20 for how to connect the projector to a HDMI device.

If no HDMI source is available, 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 a Component-Video source device" on page 21 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 an S-video or a composite Video source device" on page 22 for how to connect the projector to an S-Video or composite Video device.

Connecting a HDMI device

Examine your Video source device to determine if it has an unused HDMI socket available:

•If so, you can continue with this procedure.

•If not, you will need to reassess which method you can use to connect to the device.

To connect the projector to a HDMI device:

1.Take a HDMI cable and connect one end to the HDMI output socket of the Video source device.

2.Connect the other end of the HDMI cable to the HDMI input socket on the projector.

3.You should also connect the separate audio cable to a suitable audio amplifier.
