Connection
When connecting a signal source to the projector, be sure to:
1. Turn all equipment off before making any connections.
2. Use the correct signal cables for each source.
3. Ensure the cables are firmly inserted.
In the connections shown below, some cables may not be included with the projector (see
"Shipping contents" on page 8 ). They are commercially available from electronics stores.
Connecting a computer or monitor
Connecting a computer
The projector provides a VGA socket that allow you to connect it to both IBM® compatibles
and Macintosh® computers. A Mac adapter (an optional accessory) is needed if you are
connecting legacy version Macintosh computers.
Additionally, you can also connect the projector to a computer via the USB cable so you can
perform paging operations of the application on the PC or notebook.
To connect the projector to a notebook or desktop computer
1. Take the supplied VGA cable and connect one end to the D-Sub output socket of the
computer.
2. Connect the other end of the VGA cable to the D-SUB IN signal input socket on the
projector.
3. If you wish to use the remote paging function, take a USB cable and connect the larger
end to the USB port of the computer, and the smaller end to the USB socket on the
projector. See
"Remote paging operations" on page 42 for details.
4. If you wish to make use of the projector (mixed mono) speaker in your presentations,
take a suitable audio cable and connect one end of the cable to the audio output socket
of the computer, and the other end to the AUDIO socket of the projector.
Once connected, the audio can be controlled by the projector On-Screen Display
(OSD) menus. See
"Audio Settings" on page 53 for details.

Many notebooks do not turn
on their external video ports
when connected to a
projector. Usually a key
combo like FN + F3 or CRT/
LCD key turns the external
display on/off. Locate a
function key labeled CRT/
LCD or a function key with a
monitor symbol on the
notebook. Press FN and the
labeled function key
simultaneously. Refer to
your notebook's
documentation to find your
notebook's key combination.
