Setting Up the Projector 29
Connecting to a PowerBook
Your PowerBook must have video-out capability in order to connect
to the projector.
To connect the projector to your PowerBook, you need to:
■ Connect the computer video cable
■ Connect the mouse and/or serial cable (if you want to use the
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.
Connecting the Video Cable
This illustration shows the connections you’ll be making. For details,
follow the steps below.
1. Connect one end of the computer video cable to the projector’s
Computer 1 (VGA) port, as shown.
2. Make sure the DVI/VGA
switch on the back panel is
flipped to the right, as shown.
If necessary, use the tip of a
ballpoint pen to slide it over.
