Connecting Image Sources

•Turn the power off for both the projector and the signal source before connecting them.

If the power for either device is on at the time of connection, damage may result.

•Check the shapes of the cable connectors and the device ports before making the

connections. If you try to force a connector to fit a device port with a different shape or

number of terminals, a malfunction or damage to the connector or port may result.

•Some signal sources may have specially-shaped ports. In such cases, use the

accessory or optional cables that are supplied with the signal source to make the

connections.

•The cable that should be used to connect video equipment to the projector will depend

on the type of video signal that the equipment outputs. Some kinds of video equipment

output several different types of video signal. The image quality ranking of the video

signal types is generally held to be as follows, in descending order of quality:

Digital component video [HDMI ] > Analog component video [Component] >

S-Video [S-Video] > Composite video [Video]

You should refer to the documentation provided with the video equipment being used to

check what types of video signal formats the equipment can output. The composite

video format is sometimes simply called "video output".
