In order to send signal from your VCR to projector, you need to connect video cable to Video out of VCR and Video in of the projector.

If you connect video cable to video in, then you are seting up VCR to receive signal not for sending.

Is the problem that your VCR doesn't have S-Video out and the projector doesn't accept normal A/V input?

If the answers are "yes", I was looking at something a few weeks ago that I THINK might help you. The intended purpose of this device is to act as an A/B switch for NON coaxial A/B switches.

I believe that one of the output options is S-Video. Plug the VCR's video outputs into this device and then make the appropriate connection from the device to the projector.
