Connecting Video source devices
You can connect your projector to various Video source devices that provide any one
of the following output sockets:
• Component Video
•S-Video
• Video (composite)
You need only connect the projector to a Video source device using just one of the
above connecting methods, however each provides a different level of video quality.
The method you choose will most likely depend upon the availability of matching
terminals on both the projector and the Video source device as described below:
Best video quality
The best available video connection method is Component Video (not to be confused
with composite Video). Digital TV tuner and DVD players output Component Video
natively, so if available on your devices, this should be your connection method of
choice in preference to (composite) Video.
Better video quality
The S-Video method provides a better quality analog video than standard composite
Video. If you have both composite Video and S-Video output terminals on your Video
source device, you should elect to use the S-Video option.
Least video quality
Composite Video is an analog video and will result in a perfectly acceptable, but less
than optimal result from your projector, being the least video quality of the available
methods described here.
Connecting Audio
The projector has a built-in mono speaker which is designed to provide basic audio
functionality accompanying data presentations for business purposes only. It is not
designed for, nor intended for stereo audio reproduction use as might be expected in
home theatre or home cinema applications. Any stereo audio input (if provided), is
mixed into a common mono audio output through the projector speaker.
If you have a separate sound system, you will most likely want to connect the audio
output of your Video source device to that sound system, instead of to the mono audio
projector. The audio connections illustrated in the following sections are provided for
informational purposes only. You need not connect audio to the projector if there is an
alternate sound system available, or if audio is not required.
