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
computers, MacBook, PowerBook and iBook systems, and hand-held
devices.
■ To connect to your computer’s video port, see the instructions
below.
■ To control your presentation using the remote control as a
“wireless mouse,” see page 41.
Connecting to the Video Port
You can connect to your computer 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. Connect one end of the VGA computer cable to the projector’s
blue
Computer (Component Video) port, and the other end to
your computer’s monitor port.
2. You can connect an optional stereo mini-jack audio cable to play
sound through the projector (see page 47), or connect a USB
cable to use the remote control as a mouse (see page 41).
note
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.
note
Make sure the Input Signal
setting in the Signal menu is
set to Auto or RGB (see
page 55).
