40 Connecting to Computers, Cameras, and Other Equipment
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
computers, MacBook, PowerBook and iBook systems, and hand-held
devices.
You can also connect to the USB port on a Windows® computer. This
lets you connect up to two computers to the projector, one using a
VGA cable and one using a USB cable.
■To connect to your computer’s video port, see the instructions
below.
■To connect using your computer’s USB port, see page 41.
■To control your presentation using the remote control as a
“wireless mouse,” see page 43.

Connecting to the Video Port

You can connect to your computer 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. Connect one end of the VGA computer cable to the projector’s
blue Computer (Component Video) port, and the other end to
your computer’s monitor port.
note
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.
note
Make sure the Input Signal
setting in the Signal menu is
set to Auto or RGB (see
