back of your Macintosh.
2. Connect one end of the computer cable to the projector’s 
Computer port.

							12Connecting to a Desktop ComputerIf you can’t connect the projector’s computer cable to your 
Macintosh, you may need to use a Macintosh adapter 
(available from Apple).
nRemove the small cover on the 
Macintosh adapter and set its DIP 
switches according to the resolution 
you want to use (such as 16-inch 
mode). See your Macintosh 
documentation for instructions. 
nConnect the small end 
of the Macintosh adapter 
to the computer cable.
nConnect the computer 
cable (with the 
Macintosh adapter 
attached) to the monitor

							Connecting to a Desktop Computer13
Connecting the Audio Cable
If your presentation includes sound effects or other types of 
computer audio, you need to connect the audio cable.
1. Connect one end of the audio cable to the 
Audio In jack on 
the projector.
 
2. Connect the other end of the audio cable to the speaker 
jack on your Macintosh. 
Connecting the Cable for Remote Mouse 
Control
Using the remote control as a wireless mouse gives you more 
flexibility. You can deliver your presentation from anywhere in 
the room and interact with the audience. You don’t need to 
stand near your Macintosh or near the projector. 
You’ll use different cables and different ports on the projector, 
depending on what type of mouse your Macintosh has.
note
If you need maximum 
volume (in a large 
auditorium, for example), 
you can also connect 
external speakers or a public 
address system to the 
projector. See your User’s 
Guide for instructions.
