video natively, so if available on your devices, this should be your connection method of choice in preference to (composite) video. See "Connecting a Component Video source device" on page 19 for how to connect the projector to a component video device. Least video quality Composite Video is an analog video and will result in a perfectly acceptable, but less than optimal result from your projector, being the least video quality of the available methods described here. See "Connecting a composite Video source device" on page 20 for how to connect the projector to a composite Video device. Connecting audio The projector has built-in mono speaker(s) which is designed to provide basic audio functionality accompanying data presentations for business purposes only. It is not designed for, nor intended for stereo audio reproduction use as might be expected in home theater or home cinema applications. Any stereo audio input (if provided), is mixed into a common mono audio output through the projector speaker. If you wish, you can make use of the projector (mixed mono) speaker in your presentations, and also connect separate amplified speakers to the Audio Out socket of the projector. The audio output is a stereo signal and controlled by the projector Volume and Mute settings. If you have a separate sound system, you will most likely want to connect the audio output of your Video source device to that sound system, instead of to the mono audio projector. Connecting an HDMI device You should use an HDMI cable when making connection between the projector and HDMI devices. 1. Take an HDMI cable and connect one end to the HDMI output port of the video device. 2. Connect the other end of the cable to the HDMI input port on the projector. In the unlikely event that you connect the projector to a DVD player via the projector's HDMI input and the projected picture displays wrong colors, please change the color space to YUV. See "Changing HDMI input settings" on page 25 for details. The projector is only capable of playing mixed mono audio, even if a stereo audio input is connected. See "Connecting audio" on page 19 for details. Connecting a Component Video source device Examine your Video source device to determine if it has a set of unused Component Video output sockets available: • If so, you can continue with this procedure. • If not, you will need to reassess which method you can use to connect to the device. 1. Take a VGA (D-Sub)-Component adaptor cable and connect the end with 3 RCA type connectors to the Component Video output sockets of the Video source device. Match the color of the plugs to the color of the sockets; green to green, blue to blue, and red to red. 2. Connect the other end of the VGA (D-Sub)-Component adaptor cable (with a D-Sub type connector) to the COMPUTER IN socket on the projector. The projector is only capable of playing mixed mono audio, even if a stereo audio input is connected. See "Connecting audio" on page 19 for details. 19
