to the RGB 1 IN or 2 IN connector on the projector.
For a DVD player without a component video (Y,Cb,Cr) output, use an

DVD player to the S-Video input of the projector. Use an appropriate
type of audio cable (not supplied) to connect the desired type of
audio from your DVD player to your audio equipment.

3. Turn on the projector and DVD player.

NOTE: Refer to your DVD player's owner's manual for more information
