Connecting a video device
You can connect video devices such as HDTV receivers, HD-DVD players, VCRs,
camcorders, digital cameras, video game consoles, and TV tuners to the projector.
Connect the audio from your video device to your stereo system to get sound.
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.
Video connectors
The first step for connecting video is determining what type of output connectors
your video device has. If there is more than one output, select the one with the
highest quality. The best quality ranking, with 1 being the highest, is:
1 HDMI or M1-DA/DVI (both are digital inputs)
2 component RGB video (RCAs)
3 S-video
4 composite video (RCA)
If your device has a VGA connector, you can use an optional M1-DA/DVI connec-
tor for a high quality image. You can use the included M1-DA to HDMI adapter to
connect a second HDMI source.
For detailed information on supported video formats, see page 30.
Digital connections
The M1-DA/DVI and HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) connectors are
digital and yield the highest quality image. It is common for these signals to be
encrypted with HDCP (high-bandwidth digital-content protection). Your new pro-
jector ships standard with decryption codes so you can enjoy these high quality, all
digital images.
This projector features the M1-DA connector, which has the following advantages:
• allows connection to a second DVI source
• allows connection to second component source
• allows connection to an analog computer source (VGA)
• has output pins that can power accessories.
This is an HDTV (High Definition Television) monitor, meaning it has vertical scan-
ning lines of 720 progressive, 1080 interlaced or higher.
