Connecting Image Sources
*1 If a DVD has been connected using an RGB SCART adapter, change the "InputA" setting to
"RGB-Video". s "Selecting the image source" page 15
*2 Some regions may not have the RGB SCART adapter included as an accessory.
•Turn the power off for both the projector and the signal source before connecting them.
If the power for either device is on at the time of connection, damage may result.
•Check the shapes of the cable connectors and the device ports before making the
connections. If you try to force a connector to fit a device port with a different shape or
number of terminals, a malfunction or damage to the connector or port may result.
•Some signal sources may have specially-shaped ports. In such cases, use the accessory or
optional cables that are supplied with the signal source to make the connections.
•The cable that should be used to connect video equipment to the projector will depend on
the type of video signal that the equipment outputs. Some kinds of video equipment output
several different types of video signal. The image quality ranking of the video signal types is
generally held to be as follows, in descending order of quality:
Component video
g > S-Video g > Composite videog
You should refer to the documentation provided with the video equipment being used to
check what types of video signal formats the equipment can output. The composite video
format is sometimes simply called "video output".
