screen with a VCR?
- Disconnect and reconnect the video cable from both ends (VCR and projector).
- Make sure to use the correct video cable. The supplied RCA video cable
(the most commonly used) is a thin, light gray cable with a single gold-colored
pin. A store-bought cable is likely color-coded yellow. The black cable
with red and white plugs is audio only, and will not work for video.
- To use S-Video, use the black cable with four gold pins. Note: Most
VCRs do not accept S-Video. Look for an "S-Video out" jack
on the back of the VCR.
- Make sure the cables are correctly hooked into the VCR. Most VCRs
will have a section of jacks labeled "out" and a section of
jacks labeled "in." The cables must be hooked up to the VCR
"out" video jacks. RCA video jacks will be color-coded yellow.
If it is unclear which set of jacks is "in" or "out,"
try every yellow jack until one works.
- Make sure the cable is correctly hooked into the projector. If using
the standard RCA cable (most likely), connect to the yellow "video
in" jack. If using S-video, connect to the "S-Video in"
jack.
- Make sure the VCR is on. Some VCRs have a "sleep" or "timer"
mode. Turn the VCR’s power off and on a couple times.
- If the projector displays a blue screen, hit "play."
- Try another cable. Video cables can be easily purchased in hardware,
electronics, or many department stores.
- Note: Many TV/VCR combination units do not have any video out. Consult
the owner’s manual. If the TV/VCR combination does not have video
out, it cannot be used with the projector.
