To connect to desktops and other computer systems, see Appendix A. If you are connecting an iBook with an RCA video-out port or a PowerBook with an S-Video port, follow the instructions for connecting to a video device on page 15.

note

Laptop configurations vary. See your computer manual for the location of the ports needed to connect your projector.

Connecting to a Laptop Computer

You can connect the PowerLite projector to any computer that has a standard video output (monitor) port, including PC notebook and laptop computers, Macintosh PowerBooks and iBooks, and hand-held devices.

Connecting the Computer Cable

Before you start, make sure your computer and the projector are turned off.

1.Connect one end of the computer cable to the projector’s

Computer/Component Video port.

2.Connect the other end of the computer cable to your laptop’s video-out or monitor port.

If you’re using an older PowerBook or iBook and you can’t connect the cable, you may need to use the Macintosh desktop adapter as shown on page 71 (available from EPSON; see page 7). For a PowerBook with a DVI output port, you’ll need to use a DVI to VGA adapter. An adapter may have come with your computer. See your PowerBook documentation for instructions.

3.Tighten the screws on the connectors.

If you don’t need to make any other connections, you can plug in your projector and turn it on. See page 20 for instructions.
