Connecting to a Video Source
You can use this connection procedure to 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 signals. If 
your video source has a one-pin RCA video jack you have a 
composite video. If your video source has a four-pin video 
jack, you have a S-Video. If your video source has a three-pin 
video jack, you have a component video (Y/Video, C/R-Y, 
and B-Y).
¨
Note: The projector is not compatible with a cable TV-style F 
connector.
You can connect to both a S-Video and a composite video 
source at the same time. However, the projector automatically 
selects the S-Video source. To display the composite video, 
you must disconnect the S-Video source.
The projector supports NTSC, PAL and SECAM video 
formats. By default, it automatically detects and identifies the 
video format. However, you can set it to detect a single 
broadcast format. (See “Video menu” in Chapter 3.) Note 
that the projector will then be able to detect only one type of 
video signal.
The type of cable you need to connect the video source to the 
projector depends on whether you have a composite video, S- 
Video or a component video (Y/Video, C/R-Y, and B-Y). 
For composite video, use the video/ audio cable supplied 
with the projector. For S-Video, use the S-Video cable and 
audio cable supplied with your video device or obtain one 
from your computer dealer. For a component video (Y/
Video, C/R-Y, and B-Y), use the BNC type cable came with 
your video source.

To connect a video source to the projector:
1. Switch off the projector and video source if they are on.
2. If your composite video uses an RCA-type composite 
video connector, you will need the audio/video cable 
supplied with the EMP-7300/7200/5300. If your video 
uses a S-Video or BNC type connector, you will need to 
provide YOUR OWN S-Video or BNC type cable, or use 
the S-Video or BNC type cable that came with your video 
source.
3. For composite video, connect the yellow RCA plug at one 
end of the video/audio cable to the projector’s Video 
jack. Connect the other yellow RCA plug to the video-out 
jack on the video source.
4. Connect the other plugs on the audio/visual 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 audio/visual cable to the audio 
output jacks of the video source.

5. For S-Video, insert one end of the S-Video cable into the 
projector’s S-Video jack. Insert the other end in the S-
Video Out jack on your S-Video source.
6. For G Sync-Video (BNC typy), insert the end of  the G 
Sync-Video cable into the projector’s R/R-Y, G/Y and 
B/B-Y jack. Insert the other end in the jack on your G 
Sync-Video source.
Connecting to an External Speaker or 
PA System
Though the projector’s internal speakers are enough for most 
small-size or medium-size rooms, an external speaker can be 
connected to achieve the best results for large room 
presentations.
A commercially available RCA-to-3.5 mm stereo mini audio 
cable or 3.5 mm stereo mini audio cable is required to 
connect the projector’s 3.5 mm stereo mini jack to an external 
speaker or a PA system. These items can be obtained from 
your computer dealer.
1. Check to ensure that both the projector and all sources are 
turned off.

make sure the type of your workstation. If you are not sure of 
the type of workstation, consult your dealer or local 
workstation company.

13W3(male)«HD D-Sub15(male) cable.
(Epson recommended, MS8158CA (1.8m) 6ft,
MS8128CA (0.9m) 3ft)
• If your workstation output is 5BNC, use a 
5BNC(male)«HD D-Sub15(male) cable
(Epson recommended, MS8102CA (1.8m) 6ft)
* You need to turn the Computer2/5BNC switch on the back of the projector to 
5BNC.
¨Note: If your computer contains the workstation function, refer 
the section of Connecting to a Computer to connect.
