In addition, workstations pass the sync (synchronization)
signal differently, so the VGA-13W3 computer cable (Epson
Recommended) has a DIP switch to control sync routing.
Contact your audio/video dealer for information on
connecting your workstation.
Connecting to a Video Source
You can connect a VCR, a camcorder, a laser disc player,
DVD player, or any other compatible video image source to
your projector.
The projector can receive composite video, S-Video, or
component video. Your equipment has composite video if
your video source has a one-pin RCA video jack. Your
equipment has S-Video if your video source has a four-pin
(mini-DIN) video jack. Your equipment has component video
if your video source has a three-connector (Y, R-Y, B-Y) video
jack.
Note: The projector is not compatible with a cable TV-style F
connector.
You can connect the projector to an S-Video source, a
composite video source, and a component video source at the
same time.
The projector supports NTSC, PAL, and SECAM video
formats, and automatically detects and identifies the video
format. However, you can specify that a single broadcast
format be detected. (See Chapter 3.) Note that the projector
will then be able to detect only one type of video signal.
The type of cable you use to connect the video source to the
projector depends on whether you have composite video,
S-Video, or component video. For composite video, use the
RCA audio and RCA video cable supplied with the projector.
For S-Video, use the S-Video cable supplied with your video
device or obtain one from your computer or video equipment
dealer.
