USB connection
A USB interface is available via an upstream connector.
When the projector’s
USB (upstream) connector
is connected
to a PC or an Apple Macintosh computer equipped with a USB
downlink connection, it will identify as a USB device.
It is possible to:
– control the cursor of the computer via the projector remote
control,
and
– the display settings of the computer will be changed to fit
the capability of the projector.
Note: If you experience problems using the USB connection,
please refer to the user guide or support information of
your computer.

If the mouse cursor does not react when using the cursor control on
the remote control:
• Check that the batteries are installed properly and/or replace the
batteries.
• Make sure that the USB cable has been properly connected.
• Check that the projector receives the signals from the remote
control (LED ring around the Standby button will fast flash when
receiving a signal).

• Check Volume setting.
You can also make an Audio out connection to an external
amplifier. See ‘Connecting to audio equipment’.
