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 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.
Although the aspect ratio is automatically selected by the projector based on the 
signal input, you can change the aspect ratio, if desired. The projector’s Aspect 
Ratio setting is accessed through the Resize button on the remote or through the 
projector’s Basic Picture Menu. See page 27 for more information.
Video device connections
You can order cables from InFocus or use your own.
Composite video connection
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 Composite 
connector on the projector.
Keep in mind that video output from composite connections is not as high quality as 
S-video.
HDMI 1.3 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 either the HDMI 1 or HDMI 2 connector on the projector.
To take advantage of HDMI 1.3 Deep Color (30 bit) you must have a 1.3-
compatible source.
S-video connection
If your video device uses a round, four-prong S-video connector, plug an S-video 
cable into the S-video connector on your video device and into the S-video 
connector on the projector.
Keep in mind that S-video delivers higher quality video output than composite.
VGA connection
If your video device has a 15-pin VGA output, plug one end of the included 
computer cable into the VGA connector on your video source. This connector may 
be labeled “To Monitor” on the video source. Plug the computer cable into the VGA 
connector on the projector.
Component video connection
Plug the component cable into the video device. Plug the other end of the 
component cable into the Component 1Component 2 or Component 3 
connectors.
In addition, a Component to VGA adapter can be used in conjunction with the VGA 
connectors. 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 VGA connector.
Component offers the highest quality analog video output.
