Presenting from Computer 
or Video Equipment
This chapter tells you how to connect the projector to video 
equipment, such as a VCR or DVD player, or to a laptop or

Connecting Video Equipment 
You can connect a DVD player, VCR, camcorder, laser disc player, 
digital camera, or any other compatible video source to your projector. 
You can connect one or more video sources at the same time. 
1. Look at your video device to determine its available video-output 
connections: 
■for composite video, use an RCA cable (included with the 
projector)
■for S-video, use an S-video cable (may be included with your 
video equipment)
■for component video, use a BNC-to-VGA video cable 
(available from EPSON; see page 6)
2. Connect the appropriate cable between the connector on your 
video device and the corresponding connector on the projector:
3. If you’re using component video, you have to switch the source to 
Computer, then change the Input Signal setting in the Video 
menu to the 
YCbCr or YPbPr Component Video setting (see 
page 77). 
If you don’t need to make any other connections, see Chapter 1 for 
instructions on turning on the projector and adjusting the image.

Connecting an Audio Cable 
If you want to play sound through the projector’s speaker, you’ll need 
a mini-jack cable (not included). You may also need an mini-jack to 
RCA adapter to connect the cable to your video equipment.
1. Connect one end of the audio cable to the 
Audio-In jack on the 
projector.
  
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the audio-output connector 
on your video equipment. You may need to use an adapter to plug 
in the cable. 
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 laptop computers, Macintosh PowerBooks and 
iBooks, and hand-held devices.
After connecting the video cable, you may also want to:
■connect an audio cable to play computer audio (page 52)
■connect a USB cable so you can use the remote control as a mouse 
(page 53)

Connecting a Laptop
Before you start, make sure your computer and projector are turned 
off.
1. Locate the VGA cable that came with the projector. Connect one 
end to the projector’s 
Computer/Component Video port.
 
2. Connect the other end to your laptop’s video-out or monitor 
port.
3. Tighten the screws on the connectors.
If you don’t need to make any other connections, you can plug in 
your projector and turn it on. See Chapter 1 for instructions.
note
If you’re using a PowerBook 
and you can’t connect the 
cable, you may need to use 
the Macintosh desktop 
adapter as shown on 
page 51 (available from 
EPSON; see page 6). 
						

							Presenting from Computer or Video Equipment51
Connecting a Desktop System
1. Disconnect the monitor cable from the video port on the back of 
the computer.
2. Locate the VGA cable that came with the projector. Connect one 
end to the projector’s 
Computer/Component Video port, and 
the other end to your computer’s video port (where the monitor 
was connected). 
3. Tighten the screws on the connectors.
If you don’t need to make any other connections, you can plug in 
your projector and turn it on. See Chapter 1 for instructions.
Using the Macintosh Desktop Adapter
If you have an older desktop Macintosh or PowerBook, the VGA 
cable may not fit when you try to connect it. If so, you’ll need to use 
the Macintosh desktop adapter to connect the VGA cable to your 
computer. This is available from EPSON (see page 6). 
1. To use the adapter, remove its cover as 
shown and set its DIP switches according 
to the resolution you want to use, such as 
16-inch mode. See your Macintosh 
documentation for instructions.
note
If you have an older 
Macintosh, you may need 
the Macintosh desktop 
adapter as shown on 
page 51 (available from 
EPSON; see page 6). 
						

							52Presenting from Computer or Video Equipment2. Replace the cover and connect the adapter 
to the VGA cable. Then plug the cable 
(with the adapter) into the video port on 
your Macintosh.
3. Tighten the screws on the connectors.
Playing Computer Audio
If your computer does not have its own sound system, you can 
connect a mini-jack cable (not included) to play sound through the 
projector’s speaker. 
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 your computer’s 
headphone jack or   audio-out jack. (Jack locations vary; see 
your computer manual if you’re not sure which jack to use.)
If you don’t need to make any other connections, you can plug in 
your projector and turn it on. See Chapter 1 for instructions.

Using the Remote Control as a Wireless 
Mouse
If you’ve connected a computer as described in this chapter, you can 
use the projector’s remote control as a wireless mouse. This lets you 
control your computer and click through slideshow-style 
presentations, such as PowerPoint, from up to 20 feet away.  
Connecting the Cable for Remote Mouse 
Control 
1. Locate the USB cable that came with your projector. 
2. Connect the square end of the cable to the projector’s   USB 
port. 
3. Connect the flat end of the cable to the USB port on your laptop 
or desktop computer.
4. If necessary, configure your computer to work with an external 
USB mouse.
