							Connecting to a Video Source
You can also connect a video tape deck, a camcorder, a laser disc
player, or any other compatible video image source to the projector.
The projector can receive composite video or S-Video. You have
composite video if your video source has a one-pin RCA video jack.
You have S-Video if your video source has a four-pin video jack.
Note: The projector is not compatible with a cable TV-style F connector.
You can connect to both an S-Video and a composite video source at
the same time. However, the projector automatically selects the
S-Video source. To display composite video, you need to 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 “Using the
Option Menus” in 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 video/audio 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.
To connect a video source to the projector:1.Turn off the projector and video source if they are on.
