12-volt DC output 
 
The 3.5mm mini-jack trigger provides a 12-volt DC output. It provides a constant output while the 
projector is on. It has numerous uses. For example, if you connect your projection screen to the 
12-volt DC output with the cable that came with your screen, when you turn on the projector the 
screen will move down; when you turn the projector off, the screen will return to the storage 
position. To use the 12-volt DC output, you must first remove the safety plug.

1. component video (RCA) 
2. S-video
