Connecting to a Computer for HDMI Video and Audio
If your computer has an HDMI port, you can connect it to the projector using an optional HDMI cable.
Note: To connect a Mac that includes only a Thunderbolt port or Mini-DVI port for video output, you need
to obtain an adapter that allows you to connect to the projector's HDMI port. Contact Apple for
compatible adapter options. Older Mac computers (2009 and earlier) may not support audio through the
HDMI port.
1. Connect the HDMI cable to your computer's HDMI output port.
2. Connect the other end to the projector's HDMI port.
Note: The projector converts the digital audio signal sent from your computer into a mono analog signal
for the internal speaker or a stereo analog signal if you are connecting to external speakers.
Note: If you have problems hearing audio through the HDMI connection, you can use the Audio3 port
instead to play sound. Connect one end of an optional 3.5 mm stereo mini-jack audio cable to the
projector's Audio3 port and the other end to your computer's audio out port. Then select Audio3 for the
HDMI Audio Output setting in the Extended menu.
