Connecting a video device

You can connect video devices such as VCRs, DVD players, camcorders, digital cameras,
video game consoles, HDTV receivers, and TV tuners to the projector. You can connect the
audio directly to the projector to get sound from the built-in speaker, or you can bypass the
projector's audio system and connect the audio directly from your source to a stereo or
home theater system.
You can connect the projector to most video devices that can output video. You cannot
directly connect the coaxial cable that enters your house from a cable or satellite company,
the signal must pass through a tuner first. Examples of tuners are digital cable boxes, VCRs,
digital video recorders, and satellite TV boxes. Basically, any device that can change channels
is considered a tuner.
Before connecting your projector, you should decide which aspect ratio you want to use.
The projector's Aspect Ratio setting is accessed through the Resize button on the remote or
through the projector's Basic Menu. See page 25 for more information.

Video device connections

No video cables are provided with the projector. You can order cables from InFocus or
provide your own.
HDMI connection
HDMI is a standard, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface. HDMI provides an
interface between sources, such as set-top boxes, DVD players, and receivers and your
projector. Plug an HDMI cable into the video-out connector on the video device and into the
HDMI connector on the projector.

Plug the composite video cable's yellow connector into the video-out connector on the
video device. Plug the other yellow connector into the yellow
projector.

VGA connection

into the VGA connector on your video source. This connector may be labeled "To Monitor"
on the video source. Plug the computer cable into either the Computer 1 or Computer 2
connector on the projector.

Component video connection

If your HD video device has component connectors, connect one end of an RCA
Component cable to the component video output connectors of the Video source device.
Plug the other end of the RCA Component cable to the Y Cb/Pb Cr/Pr connectors on the
projector.
You may use an optional Component to VGA adapter. Plug the component cable into the
video device. Plug the other end of the component cable into the adapter and plug the
adapter into the Computer 1 or Computer 2 connector.
