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.
