connect to the projector. Connect the yellow RCA plug on one end of RCA
cable to the projector's video jack, and connect the other end of the
yellow RCA plug to your video source.

If the video source uses S-Video connector, connect one end of the S­Video cable into the S-Video connector of the projector, the other end to
the S-Video-out jack of your video source.

Insert three ends of a BNC cable into the projector's B/B-Y, G-Y, R/R-Y
jacks. Insert the other ends of the cable into the
jacks on your component video source. (Don't insert any of the cable
ends into the H-Sync and V-Sync jacks.)
