Connecting to a Video Source

You can connect a VCR, camcorder, DVD player, or any other compatible video image source to your projector.

The projector can receive composite video or S-Video. Your equipment has composite video if your video source has a one-pin RCA video jack. Your equipment has S-Video if your video source has a four-pin video jack.

The type of cable you use to connect the video source to the projector depends on whether you have composite video or S-Video. For composite video, use the audio/video (A/V) cable supplied with the projector. For S-Video, use the S-Video cable supplied with your video device or obtain one from your computer dealer.

Note: The projector is not compatible with a cable TV-style F connector.

You can connect the projector to an S-Video source or a composite video source. However, the projector automatically selects the S-Video as the video source. To display composite video, first disconnect the S-Video source.

The projector supports NTSC, PAL, and SECAM video formats, and automatically detects and identifies the video format. However, you can specify that a single broadcast format be detected (see page 65). Note that the projector will then be able to detect only one type of video format.
