power to the notebook PC. In most cases signal cannot be output from RGB output unless the notebook PC is turned on after
connecting with the projector.
* If the screen goes blank while using your remote control, it may be the result of the computer's screen-saver or power
management software.

Connecting your PC or Macintosh computer to your projector will enable you to project your computer's screen image
for an impressive presentation.
To connect to a PC or Macintosh, simply:
1. Turn off the power to your projector and computer.
2. Use the supplied VGA cable to connect your PC or Macintosh to the projector.
3. Connect the supplied power cord. See page
4. Turn on the projector and the computer.
5. If the projector goes blank after a period of inactivity, it may be caused by a screen saver installed on the computer
you've connected to the projector.
NOTE: Use an audio cable without a built-in resistor. Using an audio cable with a built-in resistor turns down the sound.
Enabling the computer’s external display
Displaying an image on the notebook PC’s screen does not necessarily mean it outputs a signal to the projector.
When using a PC compatible laptop, a combination of function keys will enable/disable the external display.
Usually, the combination of the ‘Fn” key along with one of the 12 function keys gets the external display to come on
or off. For more details, refer to your computer’s owner’s manual.
