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. (However, if you’re using a

60-hertz PAL system, you’ll need to select PAL60 in the Video menu, as described on page 45.)

The projector can receive composite video, S-Video, and component video. You can connect the projector to one or more of these video sources at the same time. If all three are connected, the projector automatically selects S-Video as the video source.

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

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

■For component video, use the BNC-style cable that came with your video device.

■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.
