Showing a computer screen

3.If a different input source is shown on the projector, press the source button on the projector or remote control one or more times to select the VGA port.

4.If the computer display is not shown on the projector, you might have to turn on the computer’s video output port. For example, some computers require you to press a key combination, such as FN+F4 or FN+F5. Refer to the user documentation provided with your computer.

Selecting a different source

If the picture from your video source does not appear on the screen, you can quickly select the correct source.

SPress the source button one or more times—until you see the picture or you see the name of the video port where the source is connected.

You should also be sure the video source is turned on and playing video.

Hiding or showing the picture

1.Press the hide button on the projector or remote control to blank the picture. This does not affect the video source, which continues playing.

2.Press any button to show the picture again.

TIP: If you press the hide button a second time within 5 seconds, the display becomes completely blank, without the reminder how to show the display again.
