note

If the component video cable was not provided with your video device, you can purchase one from an electronics dealer.

Connecting a Component Video Source

1.Look at the connectors at one end of your component video cable. If they are bayonet (BNC) connectors, go on to step 2. If they are RCA connectors, you’ll need to attach commercially available BNC adapters to plug the cable into your projector, then continue with step 2.

2.Connect the cable to your player and the BNC connectors on the projector. Match the Y/Cb/Cr (or Y/Pb/Pr) connectors on your player to the corresponding connectors on the projector.

note

Be sure your video player is not an RGB video source. If you select the wrong source, image quality may suffer. Check your video player’s documentation.

Also, make sure the Input Signal setting in the Signal menu is set to Auto or Component Video (see page 99).

3.You may need to change the Input Signal setting in the projector’s Signal menu to Component (see page 99).

4.If you want to play sound through the projector, see page 32 for instructions on connecting audio cables.

5.If you don’t need to make any other connections, see page 37 for instructions on turning on the projector and Chapter 2 for instructions on displaying and adjusting the image.
