Connecting to a Macintosh laptop
Your Macintosh laptop must have video-out capability in order to
connect to the projector.
To connect the projector to your Macintosh, 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.

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.
