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.

Before connecting your projector, you should decide which aspect ratio you want to use. The projector’s Aspect Ratio setting is accessed through the Resize button on the remote or through the projector’s Basic Menu. See page 26 for more information.

Video device connections

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

Component video connection

If your HD video device has component connectors, an optional Component to VGA adapter can be used. 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 Computer 1 or Computer 2 connector.

S-video connection

Plug the S-video cable’s connector into the video-out connector on the video device. Plug the other connector into the S-Videoconnector on the projector.

Audio

For audio, connect a 3.5mm stereo cable to the Audio 1/Audio 2 connector on the projector and to your source. If your source uses RCA audio connectors, a Y- cable or adapter may be used. (Note: A separate audio connection is not required for HDMI source inputs.)
