26 Setting Up the Projector
Connecting to a Computer
You can connect the PowerLite projector to any computer that has a
standard video output (monitor) port, including desktop models,
PC notebooks, Macintosh PowerBooks and iBooks, and hand-held
devices. You can connect up to three computers at the same time:
■ To connect to the Computer port (standard VGA cable
connection), see page 27.
■ To connect using the BNC ports, see page 28.
■ To connect using the DVI (Digital Video Interface) port, see
page 29.
After connecting to the computer, you may also want to:
■ connect a USB cable so you can use the remote control as a
mouse; see page 31
■ connect a monitor to the projector so you can view your
presentation close-up as well as on-screen (not necessary if you’re
using a notebook); see page 32
■ connect an audio cable to play computer audio; see page 33
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.
note
If you want to connect an
external monitor to the
Monitor Out port, your
computer must be connected
to either the
Computer or
BNC ports. The Monitor
Out port does not support a
DVI connection.
