Connecting an External Monitor (PowerLite S9 Only)If you want to monitor your computer presentation close-up (on a
monitor placed beside the projector) as well as on the screen, you can
connect an external monitor. You can use it to check on your
presentation even if you’ve pressed the A/V Mute button or switched
to a different picture source. Only computer images will appear on the
external monitor, not video images.
First make sure your computer’s VGA cable is connected to the
projector’s Computer (Component Video) port (see page32). Then
connect your monitor to the projector’s Monitor Out port, as shown:

the monitor (though it may

sure Standby Mode is set to
Communication On in the
