Connecting Video source devices

You can connect your projector to various Video source devices that provide any one
of the following output sockets:
• HDMI
• Component Video
• S-Video
• Video (composite)
You need only connect the projector to a Video source device using just one of the
above connecting methods, however each provides a different level of video quality.
The method you choose will most likely depend upon the availability of matching
terminals on both the projector and the Video source device as described below:
