Connecting a Computer
The projector ships with an analog computer cable. If your com-
puter has a digital output, you can order the optional digital com-
puter cable for use with the CD-455m and CD-555m only.
1 Plug the end of the computer cable with one cable into the
connector on the projector.
NOTE: Many laptop computers
do not automatically turn on their
external video port when a sec-
ondary display device such as a
projector is connected. Refer to
your computer manual for the
command that activates the exter-
nal video port. Activation com-
mands for some laptop computers
are listed in the Appendix of this
manual on page 44 and in the
Technical Support section of our
website.
2 Plug the blue end of the computer cable into the video connec-
tor on your computer.
