Connecting to a Computer
Eligible Computers
The method for connecting the projector to a computer using a cable is 
explained here. 
If using an EMP-745/737, see the EasyMP Network Setup Guide for 
information on how to connect to a computer over a network.
The projector cannot be connected to some types of computer, or 
projection of images may not be possible even if actual connection is 
possible. Make sure that the computer you intend to use satisfies the 
conditions given below.
 Condition 1: The computer must have an image signal output port.
Check that the computer has a port such as an RGB port, monitor port 
or CRT port which can output image signals. 
If the computer has a built-in monitor, or if using a laptop computer, it 
may not be possible to connect the computer to the projector, or 
alternatively you may need to purchase a separate external output port. 
Refer to the documentation for your computer under a heading such as 
Connecting an external monitor or similar for further details.
 Condition 2: The display resolution and frequency of the computer 
must be listed in the List of Supported Monitor Displays. 
sAppendices: List of Supported Monitor Displays p.115.
Some computers allow you to change the output resolution, so if 
necessary, change the resolution to one that matches a setting in the List 
of Supported Monitor Displays, while referring to the documentation 
provided with the computer.
CAUTION
When connecting the projector to a computer, make sure you check 
the following.
 Turn the power off for both the projector and the computer before 
connecting them. If the power for either device is on at the time of 
connection, damage may result.
 Check the shapes of the cable connectors and the device ports before 
making the connections. If you try to force a connector to fit a device 
port with a different shape or number of terminals, damage to the 
connector or port may result.
 Do not bind the power cable and the connecting cable together. If the 
power cable and the connecting cable are bound together, image 
interference or errors in operation may result.
TIP
 You may need to purchase a separate adapter depending on the 
shape of the computers port. Refer to the documentation provided 
with the computer for further details.
 If the computer and projector are too far away from each other for 
the accessory computer cable to reach, use the optional VGA-HD15 
PC cable. Appendices: Optional Accessories and Consumables s

The shape and specifications of the computers monitor port will determine 
what type of cable should be used. Check the following to see which type 
of port your computer has.

Connecting to a ComputerUser’s GuideUsing the Remote Control to Operate the Mouse Pointer (Wireless Mouse Function)
You can use the remote control as a wireless mouse to control the mouse 
pointer on the computer screen. To do this, you must use the accessory 
USB
g cable to connect the computers USB port to the [USB TypeB] port 
at the rear of the projector.
* When using the remote control as a wireless mouse, the [Page down] and 
[Page up] buttons on the remote control can be used to scroll back and 
forth through slides when projecting a PowerPoint presentation.

TIP
 If your projector is an EMP-745/737, the [USB TypeA] port on the 
back of the projector does not function as a USB hub.
 The USB cable can only be connected to computers with a standard 
USB interface. If using a computer which is running Windows, the 
computer must have had a full version of Windows 98/2000/Me/XP 
Home Edition/XP Professional installed. If the computer is running 
a version of Windows 98/2000/Me/XP Home Edition/XP 
Professional that has been upgraded from an earlier version of 
Windows, correct operation cannot be guaranteed. 
 It may not be possible to use the mouse function under some versions 
of both the Windows and Macintosh operating systems.
 Some computer settings may have to be changed in order for the 
mouse function to be used. Consult the computers documentation  
for further details.

Playing Sound from Video EquipmentThe projector has a built-in speaker with a maximum output of 1 W. You can 
output sound from connected video equipment (such as a computer or video 
deck) through the projectors built-in speaker if the video equipment has an 
audio output port.
Select the audio cable that is used for this connection from the following, 
depending on the shape of the other equipments port.
 If connecting to a stereo mini jack (such as the audio output port of a 
computer): Use a commercially-available stereo mini jack audio cable to 
make the connection.
 If connecting to an RCA pin jack

Connecting USB Devices (Digital Camera, Hard Disk Drive or Memory Devices) (EMP-745/737 only)USB1.1-compatible digital cameras, hard disk drives and USB storage devices 
can be connected to the projector. Image files that are stored inside the digital 
camera and scenarios, images and movies that are stored inside USB storage 
devices can be played back by EasyMP CardPlayer. sShowing the 
Presentation (Using the CardPlayer) in the  EasyMP Operation GuideConnecting USB Devices
The following procedure describes how to connect USB devices, using a 
digital camera as an example.
Connect a digital camera to the projector using a USB cable provided with, 
or specified for use with your digital camera.
TIP
 Use a USB cable less than 3m in length. If the cable exceeds 3m, 
CardPlayer may not function correctly.
 Check that there is no wireless LAN card or memory card in the 
projectors card slot before connecting any USB device.

To USB port of digital camera
CAUTION
 If you use a USB hub, the connection may not operate correctly. 
Devices such as digital cameras and USB storage devices should be 
connected to the projector directly.
 When using a USB-compatible hard disc, make sure you connect the 
AC adaptor supplied with the hard disc.
