CONNECTING VIDEO AND AUDIO TO THE PROJECTOR

This section shows how to connect audio and video to your projector. The DP9100 has multiple inputs for audio and video. If you are connecting only one audio or video source to your projector, use the VIDEO 1 and AUDIO 1 ports. Make sure that you connect your audio and video to the corresponding group. If you connect video to group one and audio to group two, you won’t hear the audio. Although both COMPUTER AUDIO IN and AUDIO IN may be connected simultaneously, only one is active:

•If computer video is selected, COMPUTER AUDIO IN is active.

•If NTSC/PAL/SECAM/S-Video are selected, AUDIO 1 IN is active.

Connecting video from a VCR

The Desktop Projector 9100 can project video from NTSC, PAL or SECAM sources (i.e., VCRs, laserdisc players and video cameras).
