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 the projector to a laptop or desktop computer, see page 18. For additional presentation control, you can connect a USB cable to the projector for running slide shows, and connect an external monitor to view the presentation on your computer simultaneously.

Connecting to video sources

You can connect a DVD player, VCR, HDTV, camcorder, laser disc player, digital camera, and other video sources to your projector. See page 24 for instructions.

Using the remote control

The remote control lets you switch from computer to video sources, zoom in on part of your image, freeze or mute the presentation, and adjust many other projector features. For details, see Chapter 3.

By connecting a USB cable to your projector, 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 47.
