You can connect your projector to a DVD player with component outputs or Video output. To do so, simply:
1. Turn off the power to your projector and DVD player.
2. If your DVD player has the component video (Y,Cb,Cr) output, use a commercially available component video cable (RCA
3)
and the optional 15-pin-to-RCA (female) 
3 cable to connect your DVD player to the RGB INPUT connector on the projector.
For a DVD player without component video (Y,Cb,Cr) outputs, use common RCA cables (not provided) to connect a composite
VIDEO output of the DVD player to the Video Input of the projector.
3. Turn on the projector and DVD player.
NOTE: Refer to your DVD player’s owner’s manual for more information about your DVD player’s video output requirements,

the top of the screen longer or shorter to be the same as the bot-
tom.
Use the
