Video connections
You can connect VCRs, DVD players, camcorders, digital cameras, video
games, HDTV receivers, and TV tuners to the projector. (You cannot directly
connect the coaxial cable that enters your house from a cable or satellite
company; the signal must pass through a tuner first. Examples of tuners are
digital cable boxes, VCRs, digital video recorders, and satellite TV boxes.
Basically, any device that can change channels is considered a tuner.) If there
is more than one output, select the highest quality one. DVI, Component
video and RGB (M1, HD15) have the best quality, followed by S-video, and
then composite video
.
NOTE: If you want to use RGB video, see page 8.
