Connecting an S-video or a composite Video source device
Examine your Video source device to determine if it has an unused S-Video or composite 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.
If you have already made a Component Video connection between the projector and the video source device, you
need not connect to this device again using an S-Video or composite Video connection as this makes an
unnecessary second connection of poorer picture quality. You need only connect using a composite Video
connection if both Component Video and S-Video are not supplied on the video source device (for example,
with some analog video cameras). If S-Video connectivity is available, you should use it in preference to using
composite Video.
See "Connecting Video source devices" on page20 for details.

To connect the projector to an S-Video or a composite Video source device (either through an S-

Video cable or a Video cable):

The final connection path should be like that shown in the following diagram:
• Do not connect both S-Video and composite Video cables from the same video source device at the
same time. You should only ever connect one or the other. See "Connecting Video source devices" on
page 20 for details.
• If the selected video image is not displayed after the projector is turned on and the correct video source
has been selected, please check that the video source device is turned on and operating correctly. Also
check that the signal cables have been connected correctly.
• With an S-Video cable: • With a Video cable:
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.
1. Take a Video cable and connect one end to the
Video output socket of the Video source device.
2. Connect the other end of the Video cable to the
VIDEO socket on the projector.
3. You should also connect the separate audio cable to a suitable audio amplifier.
