Turning On Your Equipment

Make sure your projector and other equipment are set up and connected correctly, as described in Chapter 1 or Appendix A. Then turn on your projector, as described below, followed by any equipment you’ve connected to it. You can turn on your computer and video equipment in any order, but if you have more than one computer or video source connected, you may have to switch to the desired source as described on page 29.

Turning On the Projector

Follow these steps to plug in and turn on the projector:

1.If you’re projecting video, first plug in and turn on your VCR, DVD player, or other video source. (If you’re projecting from a computer, go to step 2.)

2.Connect one end of the power cord to the power inlet on the back of the projector.

3.Connect the other end to a grounded electrical outlet. The P power light on top of the projector turns orange, indicating that the projector is receiving power but not yet turned on.

4.Remove the lens cap.
