Sadly, Jan, no, none of the leads provided plug into to the projector and then provide component connection.
But one lead does plug into the projector to provide what seems to be a VGA connection, so, as both yourself and Joe suggest, an additional component to VGA lead might just do it.
I think the 30-pin on the projector is so that you can have all sorts of external control over it for presentations with a laptop, etc.
The menu system on the projector can be mouse driven for example, so this socket allows you to take full control of the projector from a laptop, or with an external mouse, etc.
Not much interest if you just want to watch movies , but at the time I bought it, it was the only DLP machine available (which I'm a big fan of) and it has served me very well for the last 6 years...
The S-Video input is pretty good and being a native 4:3 chip projector, it currently has a 16:9 anamorphic lens infront of it for widescreen movies which works a treat, providing a very nice smooth image.
Just thought that if I can squeeze that little bit extra out of it with a component connection...
