Connecting a Computer

The projector ships with an analog computer cable. If your com- puter has a digital output, you can order the optional digital com- puter cable. Using a digital source generates the highest quality and brightest image possible. See “Optional Accessories” on page 37.

1Plug the end of the computer cable with one cable into the connector on the projector.

2Plug the blue end of the computer cable into the video connec- tor on your computer.

3If you want to advance slides in a PowerPoint™ presentation using the remote, plug the USB cable into the USB mouse con- nector on your computer.

Connecting the projector to a computer

Now you’re ready to power up the projector and your laptop. Skip to “Powering up the Projector and Adjusting the Image” on page 9.

NOTE: Many laptop computers do not automatically turn on their external video port when a sec- ondary display device such as a projector is connected. Refer to your computer manual for the command that activates the exter- nal video port. Activation com- mands for some laptop computers are listed in the Appendix of this manual on page 38 and in the Service section of our website.

NOTE: The USB mouse is sup- ported for use with Windows 98, Windows 2000, and Apple OS 8.5 and higher only.

NOTE: You do not need to restart your computer after connecting a USB mouse to use it
