Using the Gateway 210 Projector

Cable Description

Composite video cable. When the video adapter is connected to the projector, connect this cable to send the video signal from a 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.

S-Video cable. When the video adapter is connected to the projector, 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. When the video

adapter is connected to the projector, 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.
