If you’re projecting from a notebook, and you can’t see your image on
the projection screen and on your computer at the same time, follow
these guidelines.

between the LCD screen and the projector, or display on both at
the same time. It may be labeled CRT/LCD or have an icon such as

Allow a few seconds for the projector to sync up after changing
the setting.
■If the function key doesn’t permit you to display simultaneously
on both screens, you should check your monitor settings to make
sure both the LCD screen and the external monitor port are
enabled.
From the Control Panel, open the Display utility, select the
Settings option, then select the Advanced option (in Windows
Vista, right-click on the desktop, select Personalize, select
Display Settings, then select Advanced Settings). The method
for adjusting the settings varies by brand; you may need to click a
Monitor tab, then make sure the external Monitor port is set as
your primary display and/or enabled. See your computer’s
documentation or online help for details.
If you’re using Mac OS X:

as well as the LCD screen. Make sure your projector is connected and
follow these steps:
1. Open System Preferences.
2. Click Display or Displays.
3. Click Detect Displays.
