7 NOTE: Many laptop computers do not automatically turn on their external video port when a sec- ondary display device such as a projector is connected. Refer to your computer manual for the command that activates the exter- nal video port. Connecting a Computer The projector ships with an analog computer cable. If your com- puter has a digital output, you can order the optional digital com- puter cable. Using a digital source generates the highest quality and brightest image possible. See “Optional Accessories” on page 37. 1Plug the black end of the computer cable into the “Computer” connector on the projector. 2Plug the blue end of the computer cable into the video connec- tor on your computer. If you are using a desktop computer, you need to disconnect your monitor cable from your com- puter. FIGURE 7 Connecting the projector to a computer Do you want to play your computer’s audio on the projector? 1Plug either end of the audio cable into the audio connector on your computer. 2Plug the other end of the audio cable into an “Audio in” con- nector on the projector. audiocomputer LP70.book Page 7 Friday, February 13, 2004 7:39 AM
8 Setting up the Projector Do you want to advance slides in PowerPoint with the projector’s remote? NOTE: The USB mouse is supported for use with Windows 98 or higher only. 1Plug the USB end of the computer cable into the mouse con- nector on your computer. You must have the appropriate USB drivers installed on your computer to use the USB feature. Windows 98 ships with the appropriate drivers. For more information, see “Powering up the Projector” on page 11. Now you’re ready to power up the projector and your computer. Skip to page 11. LP70.book Page 8 Friday, February 13, 2004 7:39 AM
9 Connecting a Video Player If your video device (VCR, DVD player, video camera) uses a round, one-prong composite video connector, use the composite audio/video (A/V) cable. If your video device uses a round, four-prong S-video con- nector, use an S-video cable, ordered separately. S-video generates a higher quality image. 1Plug the A/V cable’s round yellow connector into the “video- out” connector on your video device (Figure 8). This connec- tor may be labeled “To Monitor.” If you’re using an S-video cable, connect the round black connector to the “S-video out” connector on the video device. 2Plug the other yellow connector into the “Video” connector on the projector. If you’re using S-video, plug the other end of the cable into the “S-video” connector on the projector.

10 Setting up the Projector F IGURE 9 Connecting the projector to a VCR using the S-video cable and A/V cable CAUTION: Your video player may also have a “Video Out” connector for a coaxial cable connection. DO NOT use this to connect to the projector. 3Plug the A/V cable’s white connector into the left “audio out” connector on your video device. Plug the cable’s red connec- tor into the right “audio out” connector on the video device. 4Plug the blue end of the A/V cable into the “Audio in” con- nector on the projector. When you are using the S-video cable along with the A/V cable, the A/V cable’s yellow connectors are not used. The projector is compatible with these major broadcast video standards: NTSC, NTSC 4.43, PAL, PAL-M, PAL-N, PAL-60, and SECAM. It automatically adjusts to optimize its performance for the incoming video. audioS-video S-videoLR audio LP70.book Page 10 Friday, February 13, 2004 7:39 AM
11 Powering up the Projector NOTE: Always use the power cord that shipped with the projector. 1Remove the lens cap. 2Plug the power cord into the side of the projector, then plug it into your electrical outlet. A surge-protected power strip is recommended. The LED turns orange (Figure 6 on page 6). 3Press the Powe r button on the top of the projector. NOTE: The first time you connect your computer to the projector, the computer may display a message stating that new hardware was found. The Add New Hardware Wizard may appear. Use the Wiz- ard to load the correct driver (the computer considers the projector a Plug and Play Monitor). The fans start to run, the LED on the top of the projector (Figure 6 on page 6) lights solid green if the projector is con- nected to a valid source, and the startup screen appears. It takes about one minute for the image to achieve full bright- ness. 4If you connected to a video player, turn it on. The video image should display on the projection screen. If it doesn’t, press the Source/Select button on the keypad or the Video button on the remote to display your video image. 5If you connected to a computer, turn it on. The first time you connect a particular computer to the projec- tor, the computer recognizes the projector as “new hardware” and the Add New Hardware Wizard appears. Follow these instructions to use the Wizard to load the correct driver (which was installed with your Windows operating system). Click Next. Make sure “Search for the best driver” is selected, then click Next. LP70.book Page 11 Friday, February 13, 2004 7:39 AM
12 Setting up the Projector Uncheck any checked boxes, then click Next. Windows auto- matically locates the driver. If this driver has been removed, reload the driver using your Windows operating system CD. When Windows finds the driver, you are ready to install it. Click Next.

13 Click Finish when installation is complete. 6The computer image should display on the projection screen. If it doesn’t, press the Source/Select button on the keypad or the Computer button on the remote to display your com- puter ’s image. NOTE: With some computers, the order in which you power up the equipment is very important. Most computers should be turned on last, after all other peripherals have been turned on. Refer to your computer’s documentation to determine the correct order. Make sure your laptop’s external video port is activated; see your laptop’s documentation for details. If necessary, make adjustments to the image using the pro- jector ’s on-screen menus. To open the menus, press the Menu button on the keypad or remote. For more informa- tion about the menus, see page 21. LP70.book Page 13 Friday, February 13, 2004 7:39 AM
14 Setting up the Projector Turning Off the Projector To turn off the projector, press the Powe r button. A dialog box appears, asking for confirmation. Press Powe r again to turn the lamp off. The fans continue to run and the LED blinks orange for about 90 seconds, then the projector shuts off. The LED then stays on solid orange until the power cord is removed from the projec- tor. If you want to turn the lamp back on, you must allow 90 seconds for the lamp to cool. The lamp won’t light if it’s too hot. NOTE: To maximize lamp life, allow the projector to run for at least five minutes before turning it off. You can also use the Display Power Management System (DPMS) to automatically turn the projector off if no active source is found. See page 24 for details.
