Using the Gateway 205 Projector
Cable |
Description |
Composite video cable. Use this cable to connect a video component, such as a DVD player or VCR, to the projector.
The video signal is carried through a single video (yellow) connection.
The two additional connectors carry the left (white) and right (red) channel audio signals to an audio receiver.
S-Video cable. Use this cable to connect a video component, such as a DVD player or VCR, to the projector.
The video signal is split into two signals, black-and-white and color. This type of cable produces a better picture than the single-connector from the composite video cable.
This cable provides no audio output.
Component video cable. Use this cable to connect a video component, such as a progressive-scan DVD player or satellite dish, to the projector.
The video signal is split into three signals, one black-and-white and two color. This type cable provides the best possible picture.
This cable provides no audio output.
