Connecting video and audio to the projector

Connecting video from a VCR

The projector connected to a VCR

This section describes how to connect audio and video to your projector. The Polaview Model 305 Projector has multi- ple inputs for audio and video. If you are connecting only one audio or video source to your projector, use the VIDEO 1 and AUDIO 1 ports. Make sure that you connect your audio and video to the corresponding group. If you connect video to group 1 and audio to group 2, you cannot hear the audio. Even though you connect both COMPUTER AUDIO IN and AUDIO IN, only one of them is active:

•If you select computer video, COMPUTER AUDIO IN is active.

•If you select NTSC/PAL/SECAM/S-video, AUDIO 1 IN is active.

The projector can project video from NTSC, PAL or SECAM sources (i.e., VCRs, laserdisc players and video cameras).
