Connecting To A Video Source - Epson EMP-5500 Owner's Manual

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.
