Connecting Image Sources •Turn the power off for both the projector and the signal source before connecting them. If the power for either device is on at the time of connection, damage may result. •Check the shapes of the cable connectors and the device ports before making the connections. If you try to force a connector to fit a device port with a different shape or number of terminals, a malfunction or damage to the connector or port may result.

TIP •The cable that should be used to connect video equipment to the projector will depend on the type of video signal that the equipment outputs. Some kinds of video equipment output several different types of video signal. The image quality ranking of the video signal types is generally held to be as follows, in descending order of quality: Component video > S-Video > Composite video You should refer to the documentation provided with the video equipment being used to check what types of video signal formats the equipment can output. The composite video format is sometimes simply called "video output". 12
