Connection

When connecting a signal source to the projector, be sure to:

1.Turn all equipment off before making any connections.

2.Use the correct signal cables for each source.

3.Ensure the cables are firmly inserted.

In the connections shown below, some cables may not be included with the projector (see "Shipping contents" on page 8). They are commercially available from electronics stores.

Connecting a computer or monitor

Connecting a computer

The projector provides a VGA input socket that allows you to connect it to both IBM® compatibles and Macintosh® computers. A Mac adapter (an optional accessory) is needed if you are connecting legacy version Macintosh computers.

Additionally, you can also connect the projector to a computer via the USB cable so you can perform paging operations of the application on the PC or notebook.

To connect the projector to a notebook or desktop computer:

With a VGA cable:

1.Take a VGA cable and connect one end to the D-Sub output socket of the computer. Connect the other end of the VGA cable to the

D-SUB/COMP.IN signal input socket on the projector.

With a DVI-I cable:

Your computer must be equipped with a DVI-I output socket.

1.Take a DVI-I cable and connect one end to the DVI-I output socket of the computer. Connect the other end of the cable to the DVI-Isignal input socket on the projector.

With a HDMI cable:

Your computer must be equipped with a HDMI output socket.

1.Take a HDMI cable and connect one end to the HDMI socket of the computer.

Connect the other end of the cable to the HDMI signal input socket on the projector.

2.If you wish to use the remote paging function, take a USB cable and connect the larger end to the USB port of the computer, and the smaller end to the (USB) socket on the projector. See "Remote paging operations" on page 44 for details.

3.If you wish to make use of the projector (mixed mono) speakers in your presentations, take a suitable audio cable and connect one end of the cable to the audio output socket of the computer, and the other end to the AUDIO socket of the projector. Once

connected, the audio can be controlled by the projector On-Screen Display (OSD) menus. See "Audio Settings" on page 51 for details.

The final connection path should be like that shown in the following diagram:
