Composite video cable.

 When the video 

adapter is connected to the projector, connect 
this cable to send the video signal from a 
component, such as a DVD player or VCR, to 
the projector.

The video signal is carried through a single 
video (yellow) connection.

The two additional connectors carry the left 
(white) and right (red) channel audio signals.

S-Video cable.

 When the video adapter is 

connected to the projector, use this cable to 
connect a video component, such as a DVD 
player or VCR, to the projector.

The video signal is split into two signals, 
black-and-white and color. This type of cable 
produces a better picture than the 
single-connector from the composite video 
cable.

This cable provides no audio output.

Component video cable.

 When the video 

adapter is connected to the projector, use this 
cable to connect a video component, such as 
a progressive-scan DVD player or satellite dish, 
to the projector.

The video signal is split into three signals, one 
black-and-white and two color. This type cable 
provides the best possible picture.

This cable provides no audio output.
