hello

does your dvd player have a scart socket ?...if so, you should be able to use a scart to component adapter

check that your player can output component via scart

you say your projector doesn't accept component so you will probably need a scart to composite adapter

looking at the specs of the PJ you need to get either svideo to svideo if your dvd has svideo out or if not get a scart to svideo lead this is better than using the composite video signal.

hope that helps

what dvd player is it?

If it has component option in the menu then the scart to component adapter will give the best pic.
