Here's a list of the available AV connections on your projector.

1. Power Cord

2. S-Video Cable (optional)

3. SCART to RGB & S-Video Adapter (optional)

4. RCA Type audio cable (optional)

5. VGA Cable

6. Component Cable (optional)

7. RGB to Component Adapter (optional)

8. Audio-out—RCA Type cable (optional)

9. Composite Video Cable (optional)

No. 6 would give you best picture. You will have to use the connectors according to whats available on the dvd player. When you make the connection be sure to change the projector to the proper input/sorce of the connection.

I hope this is helpful to you!
