36 Connecting to Computers, Cameras, and Other Equipment
Connecting to a Computer
You can connect the projector to any computer that has a standard
video output (monitor) port, including desktop models, PC notebook
and notebook computers, MacBooks, PowerBooks and iBooks, and
hand-held devices.
You can also connect a Windows computer to the Type B USB port
on the projector. This allows you to connect two computers to the
projector, one to the video port and one to the USB port.
To connect to the blue Computer/Component Video port
(standard VGA cable connection), see the instructions below.
To connect to the projector’s USB port, see page 38.
Connecting to the Computer Port
You can connect to the blue Computer/Component Video port
using the VGA computer cable that came with the projector (the
monitor port on your computer must be a mini D-sub 15-pin port).
1. If you’re using the VGA computer cable, connect one end to the
projector’s blue
Computer/Component Video port, and the
other end to your computer’s monitor port. Then go to step 3.
2. You can connect an optional stereo mini-jack audio cable to play
sound through the projector (see page 45), or connect a USB
cable to use the remote control as a mouse (see page 38).
note
If you connect a Windows-
based computer to the
projector, you may see a
New Hardware Wizard
saying your computer has
found a plug-and-play
monitor; if so, click Cancel.
caution
Don’t try to force a
connector to fit a port with a
different shape or number of
pins. You may damage the
port or connector.
