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 page 20 for details.

• 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.
