Connecting to Video source devices
You can connect the projector to any of the following video source device with an output jack:
• HDMI
• Component video
• S- video
• Video (composite video)
Only 1 of the aforementioned connection methods is required to connect the projector to
the video source device. However, different connection methods would provide a different
video quality. The connection method selected would be determined by the presence of
matching jacks on the projector and Video source device:
Bestvideoquality
HDMI is the best video connection method available. If the source device comes with
HDMI jacks, you will be able to acquire uncompressed digital video quality.
Please refer to “Connecting to HDMI devices” for details on how to connect the projector to
HDMI devices.
If you don’t have any usable HDMI source, the next best video signal would be Component
Video (not to be confused with Composite Video). Digital TV tuners and DVD players are
provided with Component Video output sockets. If your device includes Component Video,
then this would be your primary choice of connection to the (composite) video.
Please refer to “To connect the projector to a Component Video source device:” for details
on how to connect your projector to Component Video devices.
Bettervideoquality
S-video method provides slightly better simulation video compared to standard composite
videos. If the video device is provided with both composite video and s-video output jacks,
you should try to choose S-video connection rst.
Please refer to “To connect the projector to a S-Video source device:” for details on how to
connect your projector to S-video devices.
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.
Please refer to “Connecting to composite video source devices” for details on how to
connect your projector to composite video devices.
Connecting audio
The projector includes built-in dual-channel speakers that is designed to provide basic
audio functionality accompanying data presentations for business purposes. It is not
designed for, nor intended for stereo audio reproduction use as might be expected in home
theater or home cinema applications.
