*2 Some regions may not have the D4 SCART adapter included as an accessory.

QTip: • 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:

12

Digital component video [HDMI ] > Analog component video [D4] [InputA] > 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".
