Connecting a video device
You can connect video devices such as VCRs, DVD players, camcorders, digital 
cameras, video game  consoles, HDTV receivers, and TV  tuners to the projector. 
You can connect the audio directly to th e projector to get sound from the built-in 
speaker, or you can bypass the projecto r’s audio system and connect the audio 
directly from your source to a st ereo or home theater system.
You can connect the projector to most video 
 devices that can output video. You 
cannot directly connect the coaxial cable  that enters your house from a cable or 
satellite company, the signal must pass thr ough a tuner first. Examples of tuners are 
digital cable boxes, VCRs,  digital video recorders, and satellite TV boxes. 
Basically, any device that can change  channels is considered a tuner.
Before connecting your projector, you should  decide which 
 aspect ratio you want to 
use. The projector’s Aspect  Ratio setting is accessed through the Resize button on 
the remote or through the projector’s Basic Menu. See  page 26  for more 
information.
Video device connections
No video cables are provided with the proj ector. You can order cables from InFocus 
or provide your own.
HDMI connection
HDMI is a standard, uncompressed, all- digital audio/video interface. HDMI 
provides an interface betwee n sources, such as set-top boxes, DVD players, and 
receivers and your projector. Plug an HDMI  cable into the video-out connector on 
the video device and into the  HDMI connector on the projector.
Composite video connection
Plug the composite video cabl e’s yellow connector into the video-out connector on 
the video device. Plug the other ye llow connector into the yellow Video connector 
on the projector.
NOTE:  Not available on 
 the IN118HDxc or IN119HDxc.
VGA connection
If your video device has a 15-pin VGA output, plug one end of the included 
computer cable into the VGA connector  on your video source. This connector may 
be labeled “To Monitor” on the video sour ce. Plug the computer cable into either 
the  Computer 1  or Computer 2  connector on the projector.
Component video connection
If your HD video device has component  connectors, an optional Component to 
VGA adapter can be used. Plug the compone nt cable into the video device. Plug the 
other end of the component cable into the adapter and plug the adapter into the 
Computer 1  or Computer 2  connector.
S-video connection
Plug the S-video cable’s connector into th e video-out connector on the video device. 
Plug the other connector into the  S-Video connector on the projector.
NOTE:  
Not available on the IN118HDxc or IN119HDxc.
Audio
For audio, connect a 3.5m m stereo cable to the Audio 1/Audio 2 connector on the 
projector and to your source. If your source  uses RCA audio connectors, a Y-cable 
or adapter may be used. (Note: A separate audio connection  is not required for 
HDMI source inputs.)

Shutting down the projector
Auto Off Time
The projector also has an Auto Off Time feature that automatically turns the 
projector off after no active sources are de tected and no user interaction with the

turns off and the Power LED blinks amber fo r 30 seconds while the fans continue to

off and when the lamp has cooled, the LE D blinks green and the fans stop. Unplug 
the power cable to completely power off the projector.
