In addition, workstations pass the sync (synchronization) signal differently, so the VGA-13W3 computer cable (Epson Recommended) has a DIP switch to control sync routing. Contact your audio/video dealer for information on connecting your workstation.

Connecting to a Video Source

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

The projector can receive composite video, S-Video, or component 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 (mini-DIN) video jack. Your equipment has component video if your video source has a three-connector (Y, R-Y, B-Y) video jack.

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

You can connect the projector to an S-Video source, a composite video source, and a component video source at the same time.

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 Chapter 3.) Note that the projector will then be able to detect only one type of video signal.

The type of cable you use to connect the video source to the projector depends on whether you have composite video, S-Video, or component video. For composite video, use the RCA audio and RCA video cable supplied with the projector. For S-Video, use the S-Video cable supplied with your video device or obtain one from your computer or video equipment dealer.
