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 only need to connect the projector to a single video source device; 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.
See "Connecting a Component video source device" on page 17
for how to connect the projector to a component video device.
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.
See "Connecting an S-Video source device" on page 18 for how to connect the
projector to an S-Video device.
Good video quality
Composite video is analog video and will result in a perfectly acceptable, but less than optimal result from your projector. The other methods described above provide better video quality.
See
"Connecting a composite video source device" on page 19
for how to connect the projector to a composite video device.
Connecting audio
The projector has one 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 theater 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 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.
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 IN1
/
COMPUTER IN2
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
jack of the projector, and the other end to your external speakers (not supplied).
Once connected, the audio can be controlled by the projector On-Screen
Display (OSD) menus. See "Adjusting the sound" on page 35 for details.
The built-in speaker will be muted when the
AUDIO OUT
jack is connected.
