note

Most of the projector’s features can only be accessed with the remote control. To avoid losing the remote control, place it in the remote control storage compartment beneath the side of the projector.

Getting the Most from Your Projector

Depending on your presentation, you can take advantage of any or all of these options:

■Connecting to a laptop or other computer

If you want to connect to a PC laptop or Macintosh PowerBook or iBook, see the Quick Setup sheet or page 12 of this guide. To connect to a desktop computer or workstation, see Appendix A.

■Connecting to video sources

You can connect a DVD player, VCR, HDTV, camcorder, laser disc player, digital camera, or any other video source to your projector. You can connect both computer and video sources at the same time and easily switch between them. See page 15 for instructions.

■Using the remote control

The remote control lets you switch from computer to video sources, zoom in to your image, and adjust many other projector features. For details, see Chapter 3.

By connecting an additional cable, you can also use the remote control as a wireless mouse. This lets you click through computer-based presentations (such as PowerPoint®) from up to 20 feet away. For more information, see page 34.

■Including sound in your presentation

If your presentation includes sound, you can connect an optional audio cable to use the projector’s built-in speaker. For details, see page 14 (for laptops) or Appendix A (for other systems).
