Using the Home Theater Kit

HDTV Modes

The Compaq Microportable Projector is capable of displaying various High Definition TV (HDTV) display modes. A variety of sources can be used to provide HDTV data to the projector for display. Some of these sources are:

■Digital-VHS (D-VHS) player

■HDTV-DVD player

■Satellite Dish HDTV receiver

■A variety of DTV tuners (to receive programming over the airwaves)

■Game stations

Most of these sources will provide an analog component video output, a standard VGA output, or a standard digital DVI output. The color information can be either in YPrPb (default) format or RGB format. The user can switch between these using the on-screen display menu adjustments by selecting “A/V & HDTV Control.” Refer to “Introducing the On-Screen Display Menu” in Chapter 3 for more information.

The projector is capable of processing HDTV data provided either on the standard VGA connector or the DVI interface. Use the VGA-to-HDTV/Component video cable that comes with the optional Home Theater Kit to feed the component outputs to the VGA input connector.

The following modes are supported on the DVI interface:

■HD0

❏640 x 480p (480 progressive)

❏640 x 480i (component video)

❏1280 x 720p
