Connecting a video device

You can connect video devices such as VCRs, DVD players, camcorders,

digital cameras, video game consoles, HDTV receivers, and TV tuners to the

projector. You can connect the audio directly to the projector to get sound

from the built-in speaker, or you can bypass the projector’s audio system

and connect the audio directly from your source to a stereo or home theater

system.

You can connect the projector to most video devices that can output video.

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.

Before connecting your projector, you should decide which aspect ratio you

want to use. The projector’s Aspect Ratio setting is accessed through the

Resize button on the remote or through the projector’s Basic Picture Menu

(on page 32).

Video device connections

No video cables are provided with the projector. You can order cables from

InFocus or provide your own.

Composite video connection

Plug the composite video cable’s yellow connector into the video-out

connector on the video device. Plug the other yellow connector into the

yellow Video 3 connector on the projector.
Plug the white connector of a Mini-plug audio Y-cable into the left audio

out connector on the video device and plug the red connector into the right

audio out connector on the video device. Plug the other end of the cable into

the Audio In Video connector on the projector.
Keep in mind that video output from composite connections is not as high

quality as S-video.

HDMI 1.3 connection

HDMI is a standard, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface.

HDMI provides an interface between sources, such as set-top boxes, DVD

players, and receivers and your projector. Plug an HDMI cable into the

video-out connector on the video device and into the HDMI connector on

the projector.
To take advantage of HDMI 1.3 Deep Color (30 bit) you must have a 1.3-

compatible source.

S-video connection

If your video device uses a round, four-prong S-video connector, plug an S-

video cable into the S-video connector on your video device and into the

Video 2

connector on the projector. Use the audio cable as described above.

Keep in mind that S-video delivers higher quality video output than

composite.

VGA connection

If your video device has a 15-pin VGA output, plug one end of the included

computer cable into the VGA connector on your video source. This

connector may be labeled “To Monitor” on the video source. Plug the

computer cable into the VGA 2 or VGA 1 connector on the projector.

Component video connection

If your HD video device has component connectors, an optional

Component to VGA adapter can be used. Plug the component cable into the

video device. Plug the other end of the component cable into the adapter

and plug the adapter into the VGA 2 or VGA 1 connector. Component offers

the highest quality analog video output. (Digital HDMI provides the

highest overall quality video output.)
