Connecting a Component Video source device
Examine your Video source device to determine if it has a set of unused Component Video
output sockets available:
• If so, you can continue with this procedure.
• If not, you will need to reassess which method you can use to connect to the device.
To connect the projector to a Component Video source device:
1. Take a Component Video to VGA (D-Sub) adaptor cable and connect the end with 3
RCA type connectors to the Component Video output sockets of the Video source
device. Match the color of the plugs to the color of the sockets; green to green, blue to
blue, and red to red.
2. Connect the other end of the Component Video to VGA (D-Sub) adaptor cable (with a
D-Sub type connector) to the COMPUTER IN 1 or COMPUTER IN 2 socket on the
projector.
3. If you wish to make use of the projector (mixed mono) speaker in your presentations,
take a suitable audio cable and connect one end of the cable to the audio output socket
of the device, and the other end to the AUDIO IN socket of the projector.
4. If you wish, you can use another suitable audio cable and connect one end of the cable
to the AUDIO OUT socket of the projector, and the other end to your external
speakers
Once connected, the audio can be controlled by the projector On-Screen Display
(OSD) menus.
The final connection path should be like that shown in the following diagram:
• The projector is only capable of playing mixed mono audio, even if a stereo audio input is
connected. See "Connecting audio" on page 15 for details.
• If the selected video image is not displayed after the projector is turned on and the correct
video source has been selected, check that the Video source device is turned on and
operating correctly. Also check that the signal cables have been connected correctly.
