Connecting a video device

You can connect video devices such as VCRs, DVD players, camcorders, digital cameras, video game consoles, HDTV receivers, and TV tuners to the projector. Connect the audio from your video device to your stereo system to get sound. You can connect the projector to most video devices that can output video.

You cannot directly connect the coaxial cable that enters your house from a cable or satellite company; the signal must pass through a tuner first. Examples of tuners are digital cable boxes, VCRs, digital video recorders, and satellite TV boxes. Basically, any device that can change channels is considered a tuner.

An HDMI cable is provided with your projector so you can quickly and easily connect a video source to the projector and see the amazing image that is displayed. Once you have determined a more permanent location for your projector, we recommend purchasing higher quality cables in the proper length to get the best image from your particular video equipment.

Composite (RCA) video connection

Plug the composite video cable‟s yellow connector into the video-out connector on the video device. Plug the other yellow connector into the yellow Composite connector on the projector.

S-video connection

If your video device uses a round, four-prong S-video connector, plug the S-video cable into the S-video connector on your video device and into the S-videoconnector on the projector.

Component (RCA) connection

If your device uses component connectors, plug a component video cable with red, green, and blue RCA connectors into the source device‟s component connectors and the Component connectors on the projector. The HDP6000 has three component video inputs. Be sure to use the remote control to select the correct component input.

Digital connections

The two HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) connectors are digital and yield the highest quality image. It is common for these signals to be encrypted with HDCP (high-band width digital- content protection). Your new projector ships standard with decryption codes so you can enjoy these high quality, all digital images.

HDMI connection

HDMI is a standard, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface. HDMI provides an interface between sources, such as set-top boxes, DVD players, and receivers and your projector. Plug an HDMI cable into the video-out connector on the video device and into the HDMI connector on the projector. To display HDMI with its deep color and 30-bit detail, a HDMI source is needed. Please note the HDP6000 has no audio capabilities at all. The HDP6000 has two HDMI video inputs. Be sure to use the remote control to select the correct HDMI input.

Please note that the projector has no audio capabilities, so audio signals transferred through HDMI will not be audible.
