Setting Up the Projector
Connecting to a Desktop Macintosh
To connect the projector to your desktop Macintosh, you need to:

remote control as a mouse or use the EMP Link V software)
■
Connect the audio cable (if you’ll be projecting with audio)
Follow the steps in each section for the cables you need to connect. 
Before beginning, turn off the projector and computer if they are on.
