Choosing Your Connections

The connections you’ll need to make depend on the equipment you’re using, whether your presentation includes sound, and whether you plan to use the remote to run your presentation.

■Connecting to a computer

For many presentations, the only connection you’ll need is between your computer and the projector. See “Connecting to a Computer” on page 16.

■Connecting to other video sources

You can connect a VCR, camcorder, laser disc player, DVD player, HDTV, digital camera, or any other video source to your projector. You can connect the video source and a computer at the same time, and easily switch between sources. See “Connecting to Other Video Sources” on page 35.

■Using the remote control

To use the remote control as a wireless mouse, you’ll need to connect the mouse cable. When you use the remote, you can locate the projector (and computer) far enough from the screen to get a large image, without worrying about where you stand. This lets you move around the room and interact with your audience, while still controlling your presentation.

■Including sound in your presentation

If your presentation includes sound, you can connect an audio cable to use the projector’s built-in stereo speakers. This is especially useful when the source of your presentation is a laptop.
