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.

Once connected, the audio can be controlled by the projector On-Screen Display (OSD) menus. See "Audio Settings" on page 44 for details.

Many notebooks do not turn on their external video ports when connected to a projector. Usually a key combo 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 notebook. Press FN and the labeled function key simultaneously. Refer to your notebook's documentation to find your notebook's key combination.
