Connecting to a Video Source
You can use this connection procedure to connect a video
tape deck, a camcorder, a laser disc player or any other
compatible video image source to the projector.
The projector can receive composite video or S-Video signals.
If your video source has a one-pin RCA video jack you have
composite video. If your video source has a four-pin video
jack you have S-Video. If your video source has a three-pin
video jack, you have G Sync-Video.
♦
Note:
The projector is not compatible with a cable TV-style F
connector.
You can connect to both an S-Video and a composite video
source at the same time. However, the projector automatically
selects the S-Video source. To display composite video you
must disconnect the S-Video source.
The projector supports NTSC, PAL and SECAM video
formats. By default, it automatically detects and identifies the
video format. However, you can set it to detect a single
broadcast format. (See “Video menu” in Chapter 3.)
Note that the projector will then be able to detect only one
type of video signal.
The type of cable you need to connect the video source to the
projector depends on whether you have composite video, S-
Video or G Sync-Video. For composite video, use the video/
audio cable supplied with the projector. For S-Video, use the
S-Video cable and audio cable supplied with your video device
or obtain one from your computer dealer. For G Sync-Video,
use the BNC type cable came with your video source.
