Hi there! New member, and I have a question I haven't seen on the forum in my searches nor on the connection matrix. I want to know if it is possible to hook up a basic cable signal from Charter Communications (coax cable) to my Infocus projector via my dvd player and/or receiver. I do not have a cable box, as it is not necessary for basic cable here and there is no TV.
Digital Projector: Infocus 530 with Enhanced Connectivity Module
Receiver: VR-606
DVD/VCR: Toshiba SD-V280
I can take digital photos of the connection sides of all three if that would help.
Mille grazie!

FelinaCiao Felina:
Per the the 530 brochure (http://www.projectorpoint.co.uk/images/pdf/InFocus/lp530_DS_E.pdf) with the ECM accepts S-VIDEO on the "Video 1" connection; RCA on "Video 2", and "component RCA on "Video 3". The V280 manual (http://www.amazon.com/Toshiba-SD-V280-DVD-VCR-Combo-Silver/dp/) shows that you have component video on RCA connectors, so I'd look at hooking it us using that scheme from the DVD/VCR to the projector. You'll still need to run your audio to an amplifier and speakers, of course, but if you have an AM/FM stereo with RCA inputs, that should not be a big deal (see page 19 of the V280 manual for more).
Best,
Jonathan
