Positioning the projectorThere are a number of factors to consider when determining where to set up 
the projector, including the size and shape of your screen, the location of 
your power outlets, and the distance between the projector and the rest of 
your equipment. Here are some general guidelines.1

Video connectionsYou can connect VCRs, DVD players, camcorders, digital cameras, video 
games, HDTV receivers, and TV tuners to the projector. (You cannot directly 
connect the coaxial cable that enters your house from a cable or satellite 
company; the signal must pass through 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.) Audio 
must be provided by your own...

Connecting a video device If your video device has more than one output, select the highest quality 
one. DVI video has the best quality, followed by Component video, S-video, 
and then composite video. 
If the video device uses component cable connectors, plug the cable’s green 
connectors into the green component-out connector on the video device and 
into the green component connector (labeled “Y”) on the projector. Plug the 
component cable’s blue connectors into the blue component-out connector...
