Projector and Device Connector Guide

The following should help you find the connectors that you want to use to obtain the best resolution possible from your input devices, such as computers,
standard VCRs, DVD players (progressive and interlaced), HDTV sources (1080i, 1035i, and 720P HDTV formats), TV and satellite tuners, camcorders, video
games (progressive and interlaced), and laser disc players.

Computer connections

Computer connections involve attaching the computer cable included with the projector from a computer to the Computer In input. Optional connections
include attaching the included audio cable from computer to projector, connecting the computer monitor to the projector, and connecting a USB cable (not-
included) from the computer to the projector to advance slides in a PowerPoint™ presentation. See page 9 for setup computer/projector setup information.

Video connections

The first step for connecting video is deciding what type of output connector you want to connect to the projector has. If there is more than one output, select
the one with the highest quality. The best quality ranking, with 1 being the highest and 3 being the lowest, is:

1

Component video

2

S-video

3

Composite video

If you are connecting the projector to HDTV sources, the projector’s computer (VGA) connector, labeled Video In, should be used. Keep in mind that HDTV
and progressive sources should only be handled through the projector’s VGA connector. The S-video port does not function with progressive sources, even
with an the optional Component to S-video adapter. With progressive sources, the optional Component to VESA adapter must be used. Both of these adapt-
ers can be found in “Optional Accessories” on page 42 for ordering information.
