Connecting to Video Equipment

 

You can connect several video sources to the projector at the same 
time. Before starting, look at your video equipment to determine its 
available video output connections: 

■

If your video player has a yellow RCA-style video output 
connector, see “Connecting a Composite Video Source” on 
page 42.

■

If your video player has an S-Video connector, see “Connecting 
an S-Video Source” on page 43.

■

If your video player has a component video port (three connectors 
labeled either Y/Cb/Cr or Y/Pb/Pr), see “Connecting a 
Component Video Source” on page 44.

■

If your video player has an RGB video port (either a single 
connector for a VGA-style monitor cable or three connectors 
labeled R/G/B), see “Connecting an RGB Video Source” on 
page 45.

After connecting video cables, you may also want to connect an audio 
cable to play sound through the projector; see page 47.
