Connecting a computer source

USB Mini B connection

Connect the USB cable to your computer's USB A connector and to the projector's USB mini B connector.

To display images over USB: If this is the first time you have used the USB Display feature, an Auto-Play screen will appear within a minute. Click Start USB Display. (Note: If the Auto-Play screen does not appear, browse to the CD Drive USB Display on your computer and double-click the DLUSB.Cab file to initiate manually.)

Within a minute, your computer image should display.

To stop displaying your computer image over the USB cable: Disconnect the USB cable from the projector and/or laptop or change the selected source on the projector.

To advance slides in a PowerPoint presentation using the remote control: Press the up and down arrow buttons on the remote control to move through your slides.

VGA connection

Connect one end of the provided computer cable to the VGA 1/VGA 2 connector on the projector and the other to the VGA connector on your computer. If you are using a desktop computer, you will need to disconnect the monitor cable from the computer’s video port first.

HDMI 1.3 connection

HDMI is a standard, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface. HDMI provides an interface between sources, such as set-top boxes, DVD players, and receivers and your projector. Plug an HDMI cable into the video-out connector on the video device and into the HDMI connector on the projector.

To take advantage of HDMI 1.3 Deep Color (30 bit), you must have a 1.3- compatible source.

Connecting power

Connect the black power cord to the Power connector on the rear of the projector and to your electrical outlet. The Power light on the Status Indicator Panel (page 16) turns amber. NOTE: Always use the power cord that shipped with the projector.

Optional computer connections

To get sound from the projector, connect an audio cable (optional cable, not included) to your computer and to the Audio 1 connector on the projector. You may also need an adapter.

To display a presentation using a USB flash drive, see the Using LitePort (page 37). This feature displays JPEG images and Presentation-to-Go presentation, eliminating the need for a computer source.

If you are using a desktop computer and want to see the image on your computer screen as well as on the projection screen, connect the computer’s monitor cable to the Monitor Out connector on the projector.
