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

Computer in 1

Computer in 2

signal input socket on the projector.

3. If you wish to use the remote paging function, take a USB cable and connect the A

type end to the USB port of the computer, and the other end to the

Service

socket

on the projector. See “Using the remote mouse control” on page 14 for details.

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 Monitor 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

Monitor Out

socket on the projector.

Important

 The Monitor Out output only works when Computer in 1 or Computer in 2

is made to the projector.
