Connecting to a Component-to-VGA Video Source
If your video source has component video ports, you can connect it to the
projector using an optional component-to-VGA video cable. Depending on
your component ports, you may need to use an adapter cable along with a
component video cable. You can play sound through the projector's speaker
system by connecting a commercially available stereo mini-jack audio cable
or an RCA audio cable.

Make sure the audio cable is labeled "No resistance".
