connector on the projector (as shown below). Or if your

cable has a bayonet connector (BNC), connect it to the

Video1

connector on the projector.

2. If you want to play sound through the projector, see page 27 for

instructions on connecting audio cables.

3. When you’ve finished making any connections, see page 30 for

instructions on turning on the projector and Chapter 2 for
instructions on displaying and adjusting the image.

from an electronics dealer.
