Connecting to a Video Source You can connect a video tape deck, camcorder, laser disc player or any other compatible video image source to your projector. The projector can receive composite video or S-Video. If your video source has a one-pin RCA video jack, your equipment has composite video. If your video source has a four-pin video jack, your equipment has S-Video. If your video source has a three-pin video jack, your equipment has G Sync-Video. ♦ Note: The projector is not compatible with a cable TV-style F connector. You can connect the projector to both an S-Video and a composite video source at the same time. However, the projector automatically selects the S-Video as the video source. To display composite video, first disconnect the S-Video source. The projector supports NTSC, PAL, PAL 60 and SECAM video formats, and automatically detects and identifies the video format. However, you can specify that a single broadcast format being detected. (See "Video menu" in Chapter 3.) Note that the projector will then be able to detect only one type of video format. The type of cable you use to connect the video source to the projector depends on whether you have composite video, S-Video or G Sync-Video. For composite video, use the audio/video (A/V) cable supplied with the projector. For S-Video, use the S-Video cable and the audio cable supplied with your video device or obtain one from your computer dealer. For G Sync-Video, use the BNC type cable came with your video source. s s s s s 16
