Connection 15 Connection When connecting a signal source to the projector, be sure to: 1. Turn all equipment off before making any connections. 2. Use the correct signal cables for each source. 3. Ensure the cables are firmly inserted. In the connections shown below, some cables may not be included with the projector (see Shipping contents on page 6). They are commercially available from electronics stores. Connecting a computer or monitor Connecting a computer The projector provides a VGA input socket that allows you to connect it to a laptop or desktop computer. Additionally, you can also connect the projector to a computer via the USB cable so you can perform paging operations of the application on the PC or notebook. (see Remote paging operations on page 26). To connect the projector to a laptop 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 D-SUB/COMP IN signal input socket on the projector. 3. If you wish to use the remote paging function (see Remote paging operations on page 26), take the supplied USB cable and connect the larger end to the USB port of the computer, and the smaller end to the USB socket on the projector. 4. Take a suitable audio cable and connect one end of the cable to the audio output socket of the computer, and the other end to the Audio socket of the projector. The final connection path should be like that shown in the following diagram: Laptop or desktop computer USB cableAudio cable VGA cable Downloaded From projector-manual.com BenQ Manuals
Connection 16 • A Mac adapter (an optional accessory) is needed if you are connecting legacy version Macintosh computers. • Many laptops 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 laptop. Press FN and the labeled function key simultaneously. Refer to your laptop’s documentation to find your laptop’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 RGB signal output socket on the projector to an external monitor with a VGA cable following the instructions below: 1. Connect the projector to a computer as described in Connecting a computer on page 15. 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. 3. Connect the other end of the cable to the D_SUB OUT socket on the projector. The final connection path should be like that shown in the following diagram: The D-Sub output only works when an appropriate D-Sub input is made to the projector.

Connection 17 Connecting Video source devices You can connect your projector to various Video source devices that provide any one of the following output sockets: • Component Video •S-Video •Video (composite) You need only connect the projector to a Video source device using just one of the above connecting methods, however each provides a different level of video quality. The method you choose will most likely depend upon the availability of matching terminals on both the projector and the Video source device as described below: Best video quality The best available video connection method is Component Video (not to be confused with composite Video). Digital TV tuner and DVD players output Component Video natively, so if available on your devices, this should be your connection method of choice in preference to (composite) Video. See Connecting a Component Video source device on page 18 for how to connect the projector to a component video device. Better video quality The S-Video method provides a better quality analog video than standard composite Video. If you have both composite Video and S-Video output terminals on your Video source device, you should elect to use the S-Video option. See Connecting an S-Video source device on page 19 for how to connect the projector to an S-Video device. Least video quality Composite Video is an analog video and will result in a perfectly acceptable, but less than optimal result from your projector, being the least video quality of the available methods described here. See Connecting a composite Video source device on page 20 for how to connect the projector to a composite Video device. Connecting Audio The projector has a built-in mono speaker which is designed to provide basic audio functionality accompanying data presentations for business purposes only. It is not designed for, nor intended for stereo audio reproduction use as might be expected in home theatre or home cinema applications. Any stereo audio input (if provided), is mixed into a common mono audio output through the projector speaker. If you have a separate sound system, you will most likely want to connect the audio output of your Video source device to that sound system, instead of to the mono audio projector. The audio connections illustrated in the following sections are provided for informational purposes only. You need not connect audio to the projector if there is an alternate sound system available, or if audio is not required. Downloaded From projector-manual.com BenQ Manuals
Connection 18 Connecting a Component Video source device Examine your Video source device to determine if it has a set of unused Component Video output sockets available: • If so, you can continue with this procedure. • If not, you will need to reassess which method you can use to connect to the device. To connect the projector to a Component Video source device: 1. Take the (optional accessory) Component Video to VGA (D-Sub) adaptor cable and connect the end with 3 RCA type connectors to the Component Video output sockets of the Video source device. Match the color of the plugs to the color of the sockets; green to green, blue to blue; and red to red. 2. Connect the other end of the Component Video to VGA (D-Sub) adaptor cable (with a D-Sub type connector) to the D-SUB/COMP IN socket on the projector. The final connection path should be like that shown in the following diagram: • The projector is only capable of playing mixed mono audio, even if a stereo audio input is connected. See Connecting Audio on page 17 for details. • Component Video is the only video output that delivers native 16:9 aspect ratio picture. If you connect the projector to a High Definition TV (HDTV) tuner, the following standards are supported: If the selected video image is not displayed after the projector is turned on and the correct video source has been selected, check that the Video source device is turned on and operating correctly. Also check that the signal cables have been connected correctly. • 480i • 480p • 576i • 576p • 720p (50/ 60 Hz) • 1080i (50/ 60 Hz) A/V device Component Video to VGA (D-Sub) adaptor cable Audio cables Downloaded From projector-manual.com BenQ Manuals
Connection 19 Connecting an S-Video source device Examine your Video source device to determine if it has an unused S-Video output socket available: • If so, you can continue with this procedure. • If not, you will need to reassess which method you can use to connect to the device. To connect the projector to an S-Video source device: 1. Take the (optional accessory) S-Video cable and connect one end to the S-Video output socket of the Video source device. 2. Connect the other end of the S-Video cable to the S-VIDEO socket on the projector. The final connection path should be like that shown in the following diagram: • The projector is only capable of playing mixed mono audio, even if a stereo audio input is connected. See Connecting Audio on page 17 for details. • If the selected video image is not displayed after the projector is turned on and the correct video source has been selected, check that the Video source device is turned on and operating correctly. Also check that the signal cables have been connected correctly. • If you have already made a Component Video connection between the projector and this S-Video source device using Component Video connections, you need not connect to this device using an S-Video connection as this makes an unnecessary second connection of poorer picture quality.
