Connecting a computer

Connect the projector to a computer with a VGA cable.

Many laptops do not turn on their external video ports when connected to a projector. Usually a key

combination like Fn + F3 or CRT/LCD key turns the external display on/off. Locate a function key labeled

CRT/LCD or a function key with a monitor symbol on the laptop. Press Fn and the labeled function key

simultaneously. Refer to your laptop's documentation to discover your laptop's key combination.

Connecting a monitor

If you want to view your presentation close-up on a monitor as well as on the screen and the MONITOR

OUT jack is available on your projector, you can connect the MONITOR OUT signal output jack on the

projector.

• The MONITOR OUT only works when an appropriate D-Sub input is made to the PC jack.

• If you wish to use this connection method when the projector is in standby mode, make sure the

Standby Monitor Out function is turned on in the Advanced Setup menu. See "Standby Monitor Out" on

page 48 for details.
