Setting Up the Projector 27
Connecting to the Computer 1 or 2 Port
Follow these instructions to connect to one or both of the projector’s
Computer ports:
1. Locate the computer VGA computer cable that came with the
projector.
If your computer provides video output through BNC
connectors, you can use a BNC/VGA cable instead (commercially
available).
2. Connect one end of the cable to the projector’s Computer 1 or
Computer 2 port.
3. Connect the other end to your computer’s video-out or monitor
port.
4. Optionally, you can connect an external monitor (see page 32),
play sound through the projector (see page 33), or connect a USB
cable to use the remote control as a mouse (see page 31).
5. If you don’t need to make any other connections, see Chapter 2
for instructions on turning on the projector and adjusting the
image. Once the projector is turned on, be sure to:
■ Enter the projector’s Setting menu, then make sure the
Computer1 Input (or Computer 2 Input) is set to
Analog-RGB (this is the default setting; see page 75).
■ After exiting the menu system, select Computer 1 (or
Computer 2 ) as the source to see your image (see page 38).
