The projector provides a VGA input socket that allows you to connect it to both IBM® compatibles and
Macintosh® computers. A Mac adapter (an optional accessory) is needed if you are connecting legacy version
Macintosh computers.
Additionally, you can also connect the projector to a computer via the USB cable so you can perform paging
operations of the application on the PC or notebook.
To connect the projector to a notebook or desktop computer:
The final connection path should be like that shown in the following diagram:
•With a VGA cable: •With a DVI-D cable:
Your computer must be equipped with a
DVI-D input socket.
1. Take the supplied VGA cable and connect one end
to the D-Sub output socket of the computer.
Connect the other end of the VGA cable to the D-
SUB/COMP. IN signal input socket on the
projector.
1. Take a DVI-D cable and connect one end to the
DVI-D output socket of the computer. Connect
the other end of the cable to the DVI-D signal
input socket on the projector.
2. If you wish to use the remote paging function, take a USB cable and connect the larger end to the USB port
of the computer, and the smaller end to the (USB) socket on the projector. See "Remote paging
operations" on page 34 for details.
3. If you wish to make use of the projector (mixed mono) speakers in your presentations, take a suitable audio

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.
