Connecting a Component Video Source
1. Locate a component video cable (one may be included with your 
video equipment). 
Look at the connectors at one end of the cable. If they are 
bayonet-style (BNC) connectors, continue on to the next step. If 
they are RCA-style connectors, you’ll need to attach commercially 
available BNC adapters to plug the cable into your projector.  
2. Connect the cable to your player and the cable (with the adapters) 
to the 
BNC
 connectors on the projector. Match the Y/Cb/Cr (or 
Y/Pb/Pr) connectors on your player to the corresponding 
connectors on the projector.
3. If you want to play sound through the projector, see page 65 for 
instructions on connecting an audio cable.
4. If you don’t need to make any other connections, see Chapter 1 
for instructions on turning on the projector and adjusting the 
image. Once the projector is turned on, do the following:
Enter the projector’s Setting menu, then change the BNC 
Input setting to 
YCbCr
 or 
YPbPr
, as needed (see page 137).
After exiting the menu system, press the remote control’s 
BNC
 button or repeatedly press the projector’s 
Video/BNC
 
button to select 
BNC
 as the image source.

note
Be sure your video player is 
not an RGB video source. If 
you set the wrong source, 
image quality may suffer. 
Check your video player’s 
documentation.
