Connecting a Video Source

If your video source uses a round, one-prong composite video

connector, you’ll need only the audio cable, audio adapter, and composite video cable that shipped with the projector.

Note: HDTV sources are connected to the projector using the

M1-DA computer cable. See the previous pages for details.

If your video source uses a round, four-prong S-video connector, you’ll need an S-video cable in addition to the audio cable and audio adapter. The S-video cable is sold separately.

To connect to a video source:

1. Plug the composite video cable’s yellow connector into the “video-out” connector on your video source. This connector may be labeled “To Monitor.”

• If you’re using an S-video cable, connect it to the “S-video

out” connector on the video source.
