Using the Projector
Turning On Your Equipment
Make sure your projector and other equipment are set up and
connected correctly, as described in Chapter 1 or Appendix A. Then
turn on your projector, as described below, followed by any
equipment you’ve connected to it. You can turn on your computer
and video equipment in any order, but if you have more than one
computer or video source connected, you may have to switch to the
desired source as described on page 28.
Turning On the Projector
Follow these steps to plug in and turn on the projector:
1. If you’re projecting video, first plug in and turn on your VCR,
DVD player, or other video source. (If you’re projecting from a
computer, go to step 2.)
2. Connect one end of the power cord to the power inlet on the back
of the projector.
3. Connect the other end to a grounded electrical outlet.
The
P power light on top of the projector turns orange,
indicating that the projector is receiving power but not yet turned
on.
4. Remove the lens cap.
