Connections

You can connect your projector to various Video source devices that provide any one of the 

following output jacks:
• 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:

The best available video connection method is HDMI. If your source device is equipped 

with a HDMI jack, you can enjoy uncompressed digital video quality.
See 

 for how to connect the projector to a 

HDMI source device and other details.
If no HDMI source is available, the next best video signal is Component Video (not to be 

confused with composite Video). Digital TV tuners and DVD players output Component 

Video natively, so if available on your devices, they should be your connection method of 

choice in preference to S-Video or (composite) Video.
See 

 for how to connect the 

projector to a Component Video device.

The S-Video method provides a better quality analog video than standard composite Video. 

If you have both composite Video and S-Video output terminals on your Video source 

device, you should elect to use the S-Video option.

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.
See 

 and 

 for how to connect the projector to an S-Video or Video device.

The projector has a built-in mono speaker which is designed to provide basic audio 

functionality accompanying data presentations for business purposes only. They are not 

designed for, nor intended for stereo audio reproduction use as might be expected in home 

theater or home cinema applications. Any stereo audio input (if provided), is mixed into a 

common mono audio output through the projector speakers.
