Connecting a computer or monitor

Connecting a computer

The projector provides two VGA input sockets that allow you to connect them to both IBM® compatibles and Macintosh® computers. A Mac adapter is needed if you are connecting legacy version Macintosh computers.

To connect the projector to a notebook or desktop computer:

1.Take the supplied VGA cable and connect one end to the D-Sub output socket of the computer.

2.Connect the other end of the VGA cable to the Computer in 1 or Computer in 2 signal input socket on the projector.

Important

•Many notebooks do not turn on their external video ports when connected to a projector. Usually a key combo like FN + F3 or CRT/LCD key turns the external display on/off. Locate a function key labeled CRT/LCD or a function key with a monitor symbol on the notebook. Press FN and the labeled function key simultaneously. Refer to your notebook's documentation to find your notebook's key combination.

Connecting a monitor

If you want to view your presentation close-up on a monitor as well as on the screen, you can connect the Monitor Out signal output socket on the projector to an external monitor with a VGA cable following the instructions below:

To connect the projector to a monitor:

1.Connect the projector to a computer as described in "Connecting a computer" on page 13.

2.Take a suitable VGA cable (only one supplied) and connect one end of the cable to the D-Sub input socket of the video monitor.

Or if your monitor is equipped with a DVI input socket, take a VGA to DVI-A cable and connect the DVI end of the cable to the DVI input socket of the video monitor.

3. Connect the other end of the cable to the Monitor Out socket on the projector.

Important

•The Monitor Out output only works when Computer in 1 or Computer in 2 is made to the projector.
