							Connecting to a Video Source
You can connect a VCR, a camcorder, a laser disc player, or any other
compatible video image source to your PowerLite 5000 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 video jack.
Note: The PowerLite 5OOO projector is not compatible with a cable
TV-style F connector.
You can connect the projector to both an S-Video and a composite
video source at the same time. However, the projector automatically
selects the S-Video as the video source. To display composite video,
first 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 Chapter 3.)
Note that the projector will then be able to detect only one type of
video signal.
Th teypeof 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 audio/visual (A/V) 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.

If your video source uses a small, round, one-prong composite
(RCA) video connectors, you’ll need the audio/visual cable that
comes with the PowerLite 5000. If your video source uses a large,
round, four-prong S-video connector, you will need to purchase
an S-video cable.
For composite video, connect the yellow RCA plug on one end of
the audio/visual cable to the projector’s Video In jack. Connect
the other yellow RCA plug to the video-out jack of your video
source.
Connect the other plugs on the audio/visual cable to the Audio In
jacks of the projector: insert the white plug into the L Audio In
jack and the red plug into the R Audio In jack. Connect the plug
at the other end of the audio/visual cable to the audio output jacks
of the video source.

projector’s S-video jack. Insert the other end into the S-video-out
jack of your video source.
Connecting to an External Speaker or

or medium-size rooms, you can connect the projector to an external
speaker or public address (PA) y ts sem for large rooms or to gain
maximum benefit from the projector’s built-in Spatializer function.
To connect the projector to an external sound system, you need to
obtain an RCA-to-3.5 mm stereo audio cable. You can get one from
your computer dealer.1.Turn off the projector and speaker or PA system if they are on.

power indicator is orange, there may be a delay before a projected imageappears.Sleep Mode
Sleep mode conserves electricity by automatically turning off the lamp
after the projector has not been used for 30 minutes. In sleep mode,
the projector’s power indicator is orange and only a minimum amount
of the projector’s circuitry remains on. This conserves electricity, cools
the projector, and extends the life of the lamp. When the projector is
in sleep mode, you can press the Power button to start projecting
images, or you can unplug the projector’s power cord.
