note

If you connect a Windows- based computer to the projector, you may see a New Hardware Wizard saying your computer has found a plug-and-play monitor; if so, click Cancel.

note

For newer notebooks with DVI connectors, see your computer’s documentation to see how to use a DVI to VGA adapter (often included with the computer) to connect to the VGA computer port.

caution

Don’t try to force a connector to fit a port with a different shape or number of pins. You may damage the port or connector.

Connecting to a Computer

You can connect the projector to any computer that has a standard video output (monitor) port, including desktop models, PC notebook and notebook computers, MacBooks, PowerBooks and iBooks, and hand-held devices. To connect to the blue Computer/ Component Video port (standard VGA cable connection), see the instructions below. After connecting to the computer, you may also want to do one of the following:

■Connect a USB cable so you can use the remote control as a mouse; see page 35

■Connect an audio cable to play computer audio; see page 40

Connecting to the Computer Port

You can connect to the blue Computer/Component Video port using the VGA computer cable that came with the projector (the monitor port on your computer must be a mini D-sub 15-pin port).

1.If you’re using the VGA computer cable, connect one end to the projector’s blue Computer/Component Video port, and the other end to your computer’s monitor port. Then go to step 3.

2.You can connect an optional stereo mini-jack audio cable to play sound through the projector (see page 40), or connect a USB cable to use the remote control as a mouse (see page 35).
