Connecting Video source devices
You can connect your projector to various Video source devices that provide any one of the  following output sockets: 
• HDMI 
• Component Video
•S-Video 
• Video (composite) 
You need only connect the projector to a Vide o source device using just one of the above  connecting methods, however each provides a di fferent level of video quality. The method  you choose will most likely depend upon the avai lability of matching terminals on both the  projector and the Video source device as described below:
Best video quality
The best available video connection method  is HDMI. If your source device is equipped  with a HDMI socket, you can enjoy uncompressed digital video quality. 
See  Connecting an HDMI device on page 19 for how to connect the projector to a HDMI  source device and other details. 
If no HDMI source is available, the next best  video signal is Component video (not to be  confused with composite vi deo). Digital TV tuner and DVD players output Component  video natively, so if available on your devi ces, this should be your connection method of  choice in preference to (composite) video. 
See  Connecting a Component Video source device on page 19 for how to connect the  projector to a component video device.
Better video quality
The S-Video method provides a better quality an alog video than standard composite Video.  If you have both composite Video and S- Video output terminals on your Video source  device, you should elect  to use the S-Video option. 
See  Connecting an S-Video source device on page 20 for how to connect the projector to  an S-Video device.
Least video quality
Composite Video is an analog video and will result in a perfectly acceptable, but less than optimal result from your projector, being the  least video quality of the available methods  described here. 
See  Connecting a composite Video source device on page 20 for how to connect the  projector to a composite Video device.
Connecting audio
The projector has one built-in mono speaker  which is designed to provide basic audio  functionality accompanying data presentations  for business purposes only. They are not  designed for, nor intended for stereo audio repr oduction use as might be expected in home  theater or home cinema applications. Any stereo  audio input (if provided), is mixed into a  common mono audio output th rough the projector speaker. 
The table below describes where the sound is from when different source is connected.
Input source COMPUTER IN 1 COMPUTER IN 2 , VIDEO, S-VIDEO
The projector can play  
the sound from... AUDIO IN 1 AUDIO IN 2 
						

							19
If you wish, you can make use of the projector (mixed mono) speaker in your presentations,  and also connect separate amplified speakers  to the Audio Out socket of the projector. The  audio output is a mixed mono signal and c ontrolled by the projector Volume and Mute  settings. 
If you have a separate sound system, you will mo st likely want to connect the audio output  of your Video source device to  that sound system, instead of to the mono audio projector.
Connecting an HDMI device
You should use an HDMI cable when making connection between the projector and HDMI  devices.
To connect the projector to an HDMI device:
1. Take an HDMI cable and connect one e nd to the HDMI-output port of the video  
device.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the  HDMI-input port on the projector. 
• In the unlikely event that you connect the projector to a DVD player via the projector’s  HDMI input and the projected picture displays wrong colors, please change the color space to YUV. See  Changing Color Space on page 27 for details. 
• The projector is only capable of playing mixed mono audio, even if a stereo audio input is  connected. See  Connecting audio on page 18 for details. 
• The HDMI input port is only availa ble on the PJD6223/PJD6253/PJD6553w series.
Connecting a Component Video source device
Examine your Video source device to determine if it has a set of unused Component Video  output sockets available: 
• If so, you can continue with this procedure. 
• If not, you will need to reassess which method you can use to connect to the device.
To connect the projector to  a Component Video source device:
1. Take a Component Video to VGA (D-Sub) adaptor cable and connect the end with 3  
RCA type connectors to the Component Video output sockets of the Video source 
device. Match the color of the plugs to the co lor of the sockets; green to green, blue to  
blue, and red to red.
2. Connect the other end of the Component Vi deo to VGA (D-Sub) adaptor cable (with a  
D-Sub type connector) to the  COMPUTER IN 1 or COMPUTER IN 2 socket on the  
projector.
• The projector is only capable of playing mixed mono audio, even if a stereo audio input is  connected. See  Connecting audio on page 18 for details. 
• If the selected video image is not displayed after the projector is turned on and the correct  video source has been selected, check that the Video source device is turned on and  operating correctly. Also check that the  signal cables have been connected correctly.

• If the selected video image is not displayed after the projector is turned on and the correct  video source has been selected, check that the Video source device is turned on and  operating correctly. Also check that the  signal cables have been connected correctly. 
• If you have already made a Component Video connection between the projector and this  S-Video source device using Component Video  connections, you need not connect to this  device using an S-Video connection as th is makes an unnecessary second connection of  poorer picture quality. See  Connecting Video source devices on page 18 for details.
Connecting a composite Video source device
Examine your Video source device to determine if it has a set of unused composite Video  output sockets available: 
• If so, you can continue with this procedure. 
• If not, you will need to reassess which method you can use to connect to the device.
To connect the projector to a composite Video source device:
1. Take a Video cable and connect one end to the composite Video output socket of the 
Video source device.
2. Connect the other end of the Video cable to the  VIDEO socket on the projector.
• The projector is only capable of playing mixed mono audio, even if a stereo audio input is  connected. See  Connecting audio on page 18 for details. 
• If the selected video image is not displayed after the projector is turned on and the correct  video source has been selected, check that the Video source device is turned on and  operating correctly. Also check that the  signal cables have been connected correctly.
