Connecting to a Video Source

You can connect a VCR, a camcorder, a laser disc player, or any other compatible video image source to your PowerLite 7000 projector.

The projector can receive composite video or S-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 video jack.

Note: The PowerLite 7000 projector is not compatible with a cable

TV-style F connector.

You can connect the projector to both an S-Video and a composite video source at the same time. However, the projector automatically selects the S-Video as the video source. To display composite video, first disconnect the S-Video source.

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 or S-Video. For composite video, use the audio/visual (A/V) cable supplied with the projector. For S-Video, use the S-Video cable supplied with your video device or obtain one from your computer dealer.
