Connecting Video source devices

You can connect your projector to various Video source devices that provide any one of the

following output sockets:

•

HDMI

•

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 HDMI. If your source device is equipped

with a HDMI socket, you can enjoy uncompressed digital video quality.

See

"Connecting an HDMI device" on page 15

for how to connect the projector to a HDMI

source device and other details.

If no

HDMI

source is available, the next best video signal 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 15

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 16

for how to connect the projector to

an S-Video device.

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.

See

"Connecting a composite Video source device" on page 16

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 wish, you can make use of the projector (mixed mono) speaker in your presentations,

and also connect separate amplified speakers to the Audio Out socket of the projector. The

audio output is a mixed mono signal and controlled by the projector Volume and Mute

settings.
