You should already have connected the power cord, the projector’s video cable, and any other cables required for the equipment you are using, as described in Chapter 1.

Note: To keep the illustrations in this section simple, the pictures show only how to connect the ELP Link III cables; they don’t show the power, video, or other cables you already connected.

Connecting to a PC Desktop or Laptop

The following instructions explain how to connect the ELP Link III cables to your PC desktop or laptop computer. The steps are identical for both types of computers except where noted otherwise.

You must connect both the main cable and the 9-pin serial cable that came with the ELP Link III kit to use the ELP Link III software and the Effects buttons on the remote control. If you want to use your remote control as a computer mouse, you need to connect either the PS/2 or the serial mouse cable that came with the kit.

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