Connecting to Video Sources

You can connect a DVD player, VCR, camcorder, laser disc player, digital camera, or any other compatible video source to your projector.

The projector supports HDTV, NTSC, PAL, and SECAM, and automatically detects the video format.

The projector can receive composite video, S-Video, and component video. You can connect the projector to one or two of these video sources at the same time; however, you can only use audio from one source at a time.

The type of cable you use depends on whether you have composite video, S-Video, or component video.

■For composite video, use the RCA AV cable included with the projector.

■For component video, you will need the optional EPSON component video cable (D-sub 15-pin to 3BNC, ELPKC19).

■For S-Video, use the S-Video cable supplied with your video device or obtain one from your electronics dealer.

See the following illustration if you’re unsure of which type of connectors you have.

If more than one type of connector is available, S-video and component video provide higher quality than composite video.

Follow the instructions below for your type of connection.
