If you have already made a Component Video connection between the projector and this S-Video source device using Component Video connections, you need not connect to this device using an S-Video connection as this makes an unnecessary second connection of poorer picture quality. See "Connecting Video source devices" on page 22 for details.

Connecting an S-Video source device

Examine your Video source device to determine if it has an unused S-Video output 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 an S-Video source device:

1.Take an S-Video cable and connect one end to the S-Video output socket of the Video source device.

2.Connect the other end of the S-Video cable to the S-VIDEO socket on the projector.

3.If you wish to make use of the projector (mixed mono) speaker in your presentations, take a suitable audio cable and connect one end of the cable to the audio output socket of the device, and the other end to the AUDIO socket of the projector.

Once connected, the audio can be controlled by the projector On-Screen Display (OSD) menus. See "Audio Settings" on page 53 for details.

The final connection path should be like that shown in the following diagram:
