To connect to a PC, Macintosh or computer equipped with an XGA/SVGA/VGA adapter or compatible graphics adapter, simply:

1.Turn off the power to your LCD projector and computer.

2.If your PC does not support XGA/SVGA/VGA you will need to install an XGA/ SVGA/VGA graphics board. Consult your computer's owner's manual for your XGA/SVGA/VGA configuration. If you need to install a new board, see the manual that comes with your new graphics board for installation instructions.

3.Use the MultiCable that's supplied to connect your PC or Macintosh computer to the LCD projector. For a PC, use the smaller 15-pin connector on the cable to connect to your computer's video port; use the larger 15-pin connector on the cable to connect to the projector's RGB 1 input. For Macintosh, use the larger 15-pin connector on the cable to connect to your computer's video port; use the smaller 15-pin connector on the cable to connect to the projector's RGB 2 input. (You can also use your own video cable if you wish. For a PC cable, use the smaller 15-pin connector RGB 2 on the projector. For a Macintosh cable, use the larger 15-pin connector RGB 1 on the projector.)

4.Turn on the LCD projector and the computer.

5.If the projector goes blank after a period of inactivity, it may be caused by a screen saver installed on the computer you've connected to the projector.

NOTE: Refer to your computer's owner's manual for more information about your computer's video output requirements and any special identification or configuring your projector's image and monitor may require.
