Connecting to Video source devices

You can connect the projector to any of the following video source device with an output
jack:
• HDMI (PA501S does not have this interface)
• Component Video
• S-Video
• Video (composite video)
Only one of the aforementioned connection methods is required to connect the projector to
the video source device. However, different connection methods would provide a different
video quality. The connection method selected would be determined by the presence of
matching jacks on the projector and Video source device:
Best video quality
HDMI is the best video connection method available. If the source device comes with
HDMI jacks, you will be able to acquire uncompressed digital video quality.
Please refer to "Connecting to HDMI devices"
HDMI devices.
If you don't have any usable HDMI source, the next best video signal would be Component
Video (not to be confused with Composite Video). Digital TV tuners and DVD players are
provided with Component Video output sockets. If your device includes Component Video,
then this would be your primary choice of connection to the (composite) video.
Please refer to "To connect the projector to a Component Video source device:"
on how to connect your projector to Component Video devices.
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.
Please refer to "Connecting to composite video source devices"
connect your projector to composite video devices.
Connecting audio
You can use the speakers of the projector in the presentation or connect other individual
speakers to the audio output jack of the projector. Audio output is controlled by the volume
and mute setup of the projector.
