Power Connection
!Caution
To prevent damage to equipment, all power to the 3M Multimedia Projector MP8030 and input sources must be turned OFF during cable hook up.
The power cord (Figure 3-3) is detachable from the projector and has different connection plugs on each end. Plug the female end into the power cord terminal on the projector and the male end into a properly grounded electrical outlet.

Computer (RGB) Connection
There are two input jacks and one output jack available for connecting either desktop or laptop computers. Find the cable that fits your computer type. The MP8030 comes with two computer input cables. The first cable (Figure 3-4) fits IBM PC and compatible VGA video systems, and the other cable (Figure 3-5) fits on the end of the first cable and adapts it to fit Apple MAC II computers and Apple MAC Powerbook laptop computers. Connect the CRT cable into the RGB-Out terminal to view the image on both the monitor and MP8030.

S-Video Connection
Some video devices can generate S-VHS video, or S-Video (Y/C). The MP8030 will accept this signal through the S-VIDEO1 or S-VIDEO2 connectors. The S-VHS cable has identical round four-pin connectors on either end (Figure 3-6). Connect one end to the S-Video jack on the input source device, and the other end to the S-VIDEO1 or S-VIDEO2 terminal on the MP8030. Remember to connect the audio cables for sound output.

Find the small, circular connector on your camcorder laserdisc player, VCR, or other video source marked VIDEO OUT, TO MONITOR, or something similar.
Use the 3-conductor video/audio cable and insert the video (white) connector into the video output jack of your video source device, and the other end into the MP8030's VIDEO1 or VIDEO2 connector.
