The first step for connecting video is determining what type of output connectors your video
Component RCA device has. If there is more than one output, select the one with the highest
quality. The best quality ranking, with 1 being the highest, is:
1. M1-DA/DVI or HDMI (both are digital inputs)
2. Component /SCART RGB video (RCAs)
3. S-video
4. Composite Video (RCA)
If your device has a VGA connector, you can use the M1-DA/DVI connector for a high-quality
image. Many PC game systems have VGA connectors.
Connecting a video device
You can connect video devices such as VCRs, DVD players, camcorders, digital cameras, video
game consoles, HDTV receivers, and TV tuners to the projector. Connect the audio from your
video device to your stereo system to get sound. You can connect the projector to most video
devices that can output video.
You cannot directly connect the coaxial cable that enters your house from a cable or
satellite company; the signal must pass through a tuner first. Examples of tuners are digital
cable boxes, VCRs, digital video recorders, and satellite TV boxes. Basically, any device that can
change channels is considered a tuner.
A composite video cable is provided with your projector so you can quickly and easily connect a
video source to the projector and see the amazing image that is displayed. Once you have
determined a more permanent location for your projector, we recommend purchasing higher
quality cables in the proper length to get the best image from your particular video equipment.
Composite (RCA) video connection
Plug the composite video cable’s yellow connector into the video-out connector on the video
device. Plug the other yellow connector into the yellow Composite connector on the projector.
