video capability (Macintosh Performa 575, PowerMac 5200,
and certain PowerBooks), you need a separate video-
adapter card to attach the projector to it.

for more information about an appropriate video adapter.
Connecting computer audio
The AUDIO IN 1 and 2 ports allow audio input from two sep-
arate computers or microphones.

into the AUDIO OUT port of a Macintosh or the sound card
of a PC.
2Insert the mini-jack at the other end of the AV cable into the
projector AUDIO 1 or 2 ports.
Note: Although two COMPUTER AUDIO sources and two
other AUDIO sources may be connected simultaneously,
only one can be active. If computer video is selected, 
COMPUTER AUDIO is active. If NTSC/PAL/SECAM/S-VHS
video is being viewed, the L-AUDIO-R are active.  20Detailed setup 
						

							Connecting composite video
You can display composite video (NTSC, PAL or SECAM) on
the projector.
Use the supplied AV cable to connect an NTSC, PAL, or
SECAM source to your projector.

VIDEO OUT or something similar. This connector is usually
yellow. Insert one of the yellow AV-cable connectors into
the VIDEO OUT jack of the video source.
2Insert the other yellow connector into the projector VIDEO 1
p o r t .
Connecting an S-Video source
To connect an S-Video source, use the supplied S-Video
cable instead of an RCA cable connection. The S-Video
cable has identical, round, 4-pin mini-DIN connectors on
both ends.
To connect an S-Video source:
1Insert one end of the S-Video cable into the mini-DIN VIDEO
OUT port of the video source.
2Insert the other end of the S-Video cable into the projector
S-VIDEO port.
3Use the red and white AV-cable connectors to connect
audio from the S-Video source to the projector. See the fol-
lowing section, Connecting non-computer audio. Detailed setup21 
						

							Connecting non-computer audio
The AUDIO ports allow you to connect stereo or monaural
audio from a composite video source to the projector.
For stereo audio, use the supplied AV cable.
1Insert the red (right) and white (left) ends of the cable into the
AUDIO OUT ports of a composite video audio source.
2Connect the other end of each cable to the projector AUDIO
IN ports.
Note: Although two COMPUTER AUDIO sources and two
other AUDIO sources may be connected simultaneously,
only one can be active. If computer video is selected, COM-
PUTER AUDIO is active. If NTSC/PAL/SECAM/S-VHS video is
being viewed, AUDIO is active.
If your audio source is monaural, connect it to the left AUDIO
p o r t .
Connecting the PC to the projector through the 
CONTROL port 
You can connect the projector to a computer through the
CONTROL port. You can then use the joystick on your
remote control as the computer system mouse (see U s i n g
the joystickin Chapter 3). Before you begin, make sure the
projector and computer power are on and that the cables are
securely connected.
Note:This CONTROL feature is only available for PCs. 22Detailed setup 
						

							Connecting the Cyclops interactive pointer system
Use the CYCLOPS port to connect the projector and optional
Cyclops interactive pointer system to the computer. You can
use the Cyclops system to control your computer on-screen
mouse cursor.
The optional Cyclops interactive pointer system is shipped
with its own installation and user’s guides. The Cyclops kit
also includes extra cables to connect the projector and the
c o m p u t e r .
1Connect one end of the appropriate serial cable to the
CYCLOPS port of the projector.
2Connect the other end of the cable to the computer:
•On a PC, connect the computer end to a serial port.
•On a Macintosh, connect the computer end to an ADB con-
n e c t o r .
Projector AUDIO OUT
The projector contains an internal stereo system consisting of
an amplifier and one speaker. Although this system provides
high-quality audio output, a multimedia presentation may
require independently powered stereo speakers or an external
sound system.
Note: Use the MUTE key to turn on or off the internal or any
external speakers connected to the projector.
To connect your projector to an external stereo system:
1Insert one end of a computer audio cable into the AUDIO OUT
port of the projector.
2Insert the plug at the other end into the external amplifier or
A U D I OIN port of the speaker system.Detailed setup23
