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 the (optional accessory) 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 color of the sockets;
green to green, blue to blue, and red to red.
2. Connect the other end of the Component Video to VGA (D-Sub) adaptor cable (with
a D-Sub type connector) to the D-SUB socket on the projector.
The final connection path should be like that shown in the following diagram:
If you connect the projector to a Digital TV (DTV) tuner, the following resolution is
supported:
• Component Video is the only video output that delivers native 16:9 aspect ratio picture.
• If the selected video picture 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.
