Connecting to a Computer
You can connect the projector to a Windows or Macintosh computer 
using the projector’s 
TypeB USB port. This lets you carry a 
lightweight cable with you when you transport the projector (see 
page 31).
You can connect the projector to any computer that has a standard 
video output (monitor) port, including desktop models, PC and 
Macintosh computers, and hand-held devices. See page 34 for 
instructions.
To play sound through the projector, connect an audio cable (see 
page 41).
You may be able to use your remote control as a wireless mouse when 
projecting from a computer (see page 61).
Connecting to the USB Port
You can connect a PC with a 32-bit version of Windows 7, Windows 
Vista
®, Windows XP, or Windows 2000 (SP4) or a Macintosh 
computer with OS X 10.5.1 or 10.6.x to the projector’s 
TypeB 
(square)  USB port and project your computer’s display. A USB 
2.0 connection (recommended) provides better picture quality and 
response than USB 1.1.
1. Follow the instructions beginning on page 45 to turn on the 
projector.
2. Make sure the 
USB Type B setting on the Extended menu is set 
to
