Selecting the Image Source

Selecting the image source lets you switch between images
input from different pieces of equipment connected to the
projector (such as a computer or DVD player).

If you don’t see the image you want, select it using the

Source

Search

button on the projector or the

Source

buttons on the

remote control.

The

Source

buttons work as follows:

❏ Use the

Source Search

button to switch between

equipment connected to the

Computer1

,

Computer2

,

Video

, and

S-Video

ports.

❏ The remote control has

four

Source

buttons. Use

them to switch between
equipment connected to
the port identified on each
button.

Note that the

Computer1

and

Computer2

ports can be set up

to use different input signals (for example, Analog RGB or
RGB Video)—so if you have equipment connected to one of
these ports, it’s important to make sure the correct signal is
selected to match the equipment you’re using. You can change
the input signal settings using the projector’s menu system; see
the User’s Guide for instructions.
