Connecting a computer or monitor
Connecting a computer
The projector provides two VGA input sockets that allow you to connect them 
to both IBM® compatible and Macintosh® computers. A Mac adapter is 
needed if you are connecting legacy version Macintosh computers.
To connect the projector to a notebook or desktop computer:
1. Take the supplied VGA cable and connect one end to the D-Sub output 
socket of the computer.
2. Connect the other end of the VGA cable to the VGA1/YPbPr or VGA2/
YPbPr signal input socket on the projector.
Important
„Many notebooks do not turn on their external video ports when connected to a 
projector. Usually a key combo like FN + F3 or CRT/LCD key turns the external display 
on/off. Locate a function key labeled CRT/LCD or a function key with a monitor 
symbol on the notebook. Press FN and the labeled function key simultaneously. Refer 
to your notebooks documentation to find your notebooks key combination.

the cable to the D-Sub input socket of the video monitor.
Or if your monitor is equipped with a DVI input socket, take a VGA to 
DVI-A cable and connect the DVI end of the cable to the DVI input 
socket of the video monitor.
3. Connect the other end of the cable to the VGA-OUT socket on the 
projector.
