Connecting to a Video Source
You can connect a VCR, camcorder, DVD player, or any other
compatible video image source to your projector.
The projector can receive composite video or S-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 video jack.
The type of cable you use to connect the video source to the
projector depends on whether you have composite video or S-Video.
For composite video, use the audio/video (A/V) cable supplied with
the projector. For S-Video, use the S-Video cable supplied with
your video device or obtain one from your computer dealer.
Note:
The projector is not compatible with a cable TV-style F
connector.
You can connect the projector to an S-Video source or a composite
video source. However, the projector automatically selects the
S-Video as the video source. To display composite video, first
disconnect the S-Video source.
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
page 65). Note that the projector will then be able to detect only one
type of video format.
