Connecting to a Macintosh laptop

Your Macintosh laptop must have video-out capability in order to connect to the projector.

To connect the projector to your Macintosh, you need to:

■Connect the computer video cable

■Connect the mouse and/or serial cable (if you want to use the remote control as a mouse or use the EMP Link V software)

■Connect the audio cable (if you’ll be projecting with audio)

Follow the steps in each section for the cables you need to connect. Before beginning, turn off the projector and computer if they are on.

This illustration shows the connections you’ll be making. For details, follow the steps below.
