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.

Better video quality

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.

Least video quality
