If you want to connect both a VCR and a DVD player to the projector, you must use the composite
video cable for the VCR and the S-video cable for the DVD player. If both are connected, pressing
the VCR/DVD Player button alternates the display source between the VCR and the DVD player.
There is a three-second delay before the alternate display source appears.
Although there is only one external audio connection, you can link the VCR and DVD player audio
connections to automatically use the audio signal from the active video source.
When you switch to another video source (such as the internal computer) and then press the
VCR/DVD Player button, the last active video source appears.
1. Connect an RCA composite video cable inside the cabinet to the VCR’s video output jack. This
jack may be labeled To Monitor.
NOTE: If the VCR has an S-video output, you can connect the S-video cable bundled inside
the cabinet to the VCR. However, if you use the S-video cable to connect to the VCR, you
won’t be able to use this cable to connect to a DVD player.
2. Connect the RCA cables inside the cabinet to the VCR’s RCA Audio (may also be labeled
Audio OUT) outputs. Keep the right and left channel connections correct for stereo sound.
NOTE: You can’t connect these audio cables to both the VCR and the DVD player. However,
you can link the audio connections of the DVD player and VCR (see page 9 for more
information).
3. Connect the VCR’s power cable to an available power outlet in the cabinet.
1. Connect the S-video cable inside the cabinet to the DVD player’s S-video OUT receptacle.
NOTE: Alternatively, you can connect the RCA composite video cable bundled inside the
cabinet to the DVD player. However, the S-video cable provides better image quality than the
composite video cable.
2. Connect the RCA audio cables inside the cabinet to the DVD player’s RCA Audio (or Audio
OUT) outputs. Keep the right and left channel connections correct for stereo sound.
NOTE: You can’t connect these audio cables to both the VCR and the DVD player. However,
you can link the audio connections of the DVD player and VCR (see page 9 for more
information).
3. Connect the DVD player’s power cable to an available power outlet in the cabinet.
