Not quite sure what you are asking here.
Via and Hdmi are outputs for MythTV - choose the one supported by your TV or display and connect it.
HDMI will probably give better quality.
CD is an input device - you can copy data from it, or play DVDs if the reader is at all recent.

The common MythTV solution would be to hook the projector to the mythfrontend PC via HDMI and play the disk with mythfrontend.
