62 Connecting to Computers, Cameras, and Other Equipment
Connecting an RGB Video Source
Follow these instructions to connect the projector to a video player
that has an RGB video output port. Depending on the type of
connector on your player, you’ll need to use the appropriate cable:
■ If your player has a single VGA-style connector, see below.
■ If your player has three connectors labeled R/G/B, see
“Connecting Using a BNC-style Cable” on page 63.
Connecting Using a VGA-style Computer Cable
1. Locate the VGA computer cable provided with the projector.
2. Connect the cable between the video port on your player and the
Computer port on the projector.
3. If you want to play sound through the projector, see page 65 for
instructions on connecting an audio cable.
4. If you don’t need to make any other connections, see Chapter 1
for instructions on turning on the projector and adjusting the
image. Once the projector is turned on, be sure to:
■ Enter the projector’s Setting menu, then change the
Computer Input setting to
RGB-Video (see page 137).
■ After exiting the menu system, press the remote control’s
Comp button or the projector’s Computer/DVI button
repeatedly to select the image source. ( Computer (RGB
Video) should appear on the screen.)
note
Be sure your video player is
not a component video
source. If you set the wrong
source, image quality may
suffer. Check your video
player’s documentation.
