Connecting a composite Video source device

Examine your Video source device to determine if it has a set of unused composite Video output sockets available:

If so, you can continue with this procedure.

If not, you will need to reassess which method you can use to connect to the device.

To connect the projector to a composite Video source device:

1.Take a Video cable and connect one end to the composite Video output socket of the Video source device.

2.Connect the other end of the Video cable to the VIDEO socket on the projector.

• If the selected video image is not displayed after the projector is turned on and the correct video source has been selected, check that the Video source device is turned on and operating correctly. Also check that the signal cables have been connected correctly.

You need only connect to this device using a composite Video connection if Component Video and S-Video inputs are unavailable for use. See "Connecting Video source devices" on page 18 for details.

Playing sound through the projector

You can make use of the projector (mixed mono) speaker in your presentations, and also connect separate amplified speakers to the AUDIO OUT socket of the projector.

If you have a separate sound system, you will most likely want to connect the audio output of your Video source device to that sound system, instead of to the mono audio projector.

You can also use a microphone to output the sound through the projector speaker.

Once connected, the audio can be controlled by the projector On-Screen Display (OSD) menus. See "Audio Settings" on page 52 for details.

The table below describes the connection methods for different devices, and where the sound is from.

The selected input signal determines which sound will be played by the projector speaker, and which sound will be output from the projector when AUDIO OUT is connected. If you select a PC signal, the projector can play the sound received from AUDIO IN 1/MIC.

About the microphone input

If you wish to use a microphone, connect a 3.5 mini jack cable microphone to the projector.

You can use a wireless microphone as long as a wireless module is attached to the projector’s microphone input jack and it works well with the associated devices. To
