❶ What you can do with the Viewer
The	Viewer	 feature	 allows	you	to	view	 slides	 or	movie	 files	stored	 on	a	USB	 memory	 on	the	 projector,	 or	a	shared	
folder	in	a	computer	connected	to	the	network.
The	 Viewer	has	the	following	features.
•	 When	 a	commercially	 available	USB	memory	 that	stores	 image	files	is	inserted	 into	the	USB	 port	(Type	 A)	of	the	
projector,	the	 Viewer	allows	you	to	view	the	image	files	on	the	USB	memory.
	 Even	if	no	computer	is	available,	presentations	can	be	conducted	simply	with	the	projector. 	
•	 Movie	file	can	be	played	back.
•	 A	Microsoft	 PowerPoint	 file	or	Adobe	 PDF	file	can	 be	simply	 projected	 on	the	 screen	 without	 connecting	 a	com-
puter.
•	 Image	and	movie	files	stored	in	a	shared	folder	in	a	computer	connected	to	a	network	can	be	projected.
	 The	computer	with	 “Media	Sharing”	of	Windows	Media	Player	11	turned	on	can	be	used	as	a	media	server.
