Connecting to a Video Source
You can connect a VCR, a camcorder, a laser disc player, 
DVD player, or any other compatible video image source to 
your projector.
The projector can receive composite video or S-Video. Your 
equipment has composite video if your video source has a 
one-pin RCA video jack. Your equipment has S-Video if your 
video source has a four-pin (mini-DIN) video jack.
♦Note: The projector is not compatible with a cable TV-style F 
connector.
You can connect the projector to an S-Video source and a 
composite video source at the same time.
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 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 RCA audio and RCA 
video cable supplied with the projector. For S-Video, use the 
S-Video cable supplied with your video device or obtain one 
from your computer or video equipment dealer. 
To connect a video source to the projector:
1. Turn off the projector and video source if they are on.

2. If your video source uses a small, round, one-prong 
composite (RCA) video connector, you’ll need the RCA 
video cable that comes with the projector. If your video 
source uses a large, round, four-prong S-Video connector, 
you will need to purchase the appropriate cable or use the 
cable that came with your video source.
3. For Composite Video, connect the yellow RCA plug on 
one end of the RCA video cable to the projector’s Video 
jack. Connect the other yellow RCA plug to the video-out 
jack of your video source. 
4. Connect the RCA audio cable to the Audio jacks of the 
projector: insert the white plug into the L jack and the red 
plug into the R jack. Connect the plug at the other end of 
the RCA audio cable to the audio output jacks of the 
video source. 
5. For S-Video, insert one end of an S-Video cable into the 
projector’s S-Video connector. Insert the other end into 
the S-video out jack of your video source.
