note

If you connect a Windows- based computer to the projector, you may see a New Hardware Wizard saying your computer has found a plug-and-play monitor; if so, click Cancel.

note

For newer PowerBooks with DVI connectors, see your computer’s documentation to see how to use a DVI to VGA adapter (usually included with the computer) to connect to the VGA Computer port.

If you’re using an older Macintosh and you can’t connect the cable to your computer, you may need to use the Macintosh desktop adapter, as shown on page 48 (available from Epson; see page 13).

Connecting to a Computer

You can connect the PowerLite projector to any computer that has a standard video output (monitor) port, including desktop models, PC notebook and notebook computers, Macintosh PowerBooks and iBooks®, and hand-held devices. You can connect up to two computers at the same time. To connect to the Computer/Component ports (standard VGA cable connection), see page 47. After connecting to the computer, you may also want to:

■Connect a USB cable so you can use the remote control as a mouse; see page 49

■Connect a monitor to the projector so you can view your presentation close-up as well as on-screen (not necessary if you’re using a notebook); see page 50

■Connect an audio cable to play computer audio; see page 56
