Connecting Video source devices
You can connect your projector to various Video source devices that provide any one
of the following output sockets:
„ Component Video
„ S-Video
„ Video (composite)
You need only connect the projector to a Video source device using just one of the
above
!connecting methods, however each provides a different level of video quality.
The method !you choose will most likely depend upon the availability of matching
terminals on both the !projector and the Video source device as described below:
Best video quality
The best available video connection method is Component Video (not to be confused
with composite Video). Digital TV tuner and DVD players output Component Video
natively, so if available on your devices, this should be your connection method of
choice in preference to (composite) Video.
See “Connecting a Component Video source device” on page 20 for how to connect
the projector to a component video device.
Better video quality
The S-Video method provides a better quality analog video than standard composite
Video. If you have both composite Video and S-Video output terminals on your Video
source device, you should elect to use the S-Video option.
See “Connecting an S-Video source device” on page 20 for how to connect the
projector to an S-Video device.
Least video quality
Composite Video is an analog video and will result in a perfectly acceptable, but less
than optimal result from your projector, being the least video quality of the available
methods described here.
See “Connecting a composite Video source device” on page 21 for how to connect the
projector to a composite Video device.
