Connecting a computer or monitor
Connecting a computer
The projector provides two VGA input sockets that allow you to connect them
to both IBM
® compatibles and Macintosh ® computers. A Mac adapter is
needed if you are connecting legacy version Macintosh computers.
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 VGA1-IN/YPbPr or
VGA2-IN/YPbPr signal input socket on the projector.
Important
„ 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.
Connecting a monitor
If you want to view your presentation close-up on a monitor as well as on the
screen, you can connect the VGA OUT signal output socket on the projector
to an external monitor with a VGA cable following the instructions below:
To connect the projector to a monitor:
1. Connect the projector to a computer as described in
“Connecting a
computer” on page 18 .
2. Take a suitable VGA cable (only one supplied) and connect one end of
the cable to the D-Sub input socket of the video monitor.
Or if your monitor is equipped with a DVI input socket, take a VGA to DVI-A cable and connect
the DVI end of the cable to the DVI input socket of the video monitor.
3. Connect the other end of the cable to the VGA OUT socket on the
projector.
Important
„ The VGA OUT output only works when VGA1-IN/YPbPr or VGA2-IN/
YPbPr is made to the projector.
