Connecting a computer or monitor
Connecting a computer
The projector provides two VGA input sockets that allow you to connect them to both 
IBM® compatibles 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 COMPUTER IN 1 or COMPUTER 
IN 2 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.
Connecting a monitor
If you want to view your presentation close-up on a monitor as well as on the screen, 
you can connect the COMPUTER OUT signal output socket on the projector to an 
external monitor with a VGA cable following the instructions below:
To connect the projector to a monitor:
1. Connect the projector to a computer as described in “Connecting a computer” on 
page 16.
2. Take a suitable VGA cable (only one supplied) and connect one end of 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 COMPUTER OUT socket on the 
projector.
Important
The COMPUTER OUT output only works when COMPUTER IN 1 or 
COMPUTER IN 2 is made to the projector.

Connecting Video source devices
You can connect your projector to various Video source devices that provide any one 
of the following output sockets:
Component Video
S-Video
Video (composite)
You need only connect the projector to a Video source device using just one of the 
above connecting methods, however each provides a different level of video quality. 
The method you choose will most likely depend upon the availability of matching 
terminals on both the projector and the Video source device as described below:
Best video quality
The best available video connection method is Component Video (not to be confused 
with composite Video). Digital TV tuner and DVD players output Component Video 
natively, so if available on your devices, this should be your connection method of 
choice in preference to (composite) Video.
See “Connecting a Component Video source device” on page 18 for how to connect 
the projector to a component video device.
Better video quality
The S-Video method provides a better quality analog video than standard composite 
Video. If you have both composite Video and S-Video output terminals on your Video 
source device, you should elect to use the S-Video option.
See “Connecting an S-Video source device” on page 18 for how to connect the 
projector to an S-Video device.
Least video quality
Composite Video is an analog video and will result in a perfectly acceptable, but less 
than optimal result from your projector, being the least video quality of the available 
methods described here.
See “Connecting a composite Video source device” on page 19 for how to connect the 
projector to a composite Video device.

Connecting a Component Video source device
Examine your Video source device to determine if it has a set of unused Component 
Video output sockets available:
If so, you can continue with this procedure.
If not, you will need to reassess which method you can use to connect to the 
device.
To connect the projector to a Component Video source device:
1. Take a VGA (D-Sub) to HDTV (RCA) cable and connect the end with 3 RCA type 
connectors to the Component Video output sockets of the Video source device. 
Match the color of the plugs to the color of the sockets; green to green, blue to 
blue, and red to red.
2. Connect the other end of the cable (with a D-Sub type connector) to the 
COMPUTER IN 1 or COMPUTER IN 2 socket on the projector.Important
If the selected video image is not displayed after the projector is turned on 
and the correct video source has been selected, check that the Video source 
device is turned on and operating correctly. Also check that the signal cables 
have been connected correctly.
Connecting an S-Video source device
Examine your Video source device to determine if it has an unused S-Video output 
socket available:
If so, you can continue with this procedure.
If not, you will need to reassess which method you can use to connect to the 
device.
To connect the projector to an S-Video source device:
1. Take an S-Video cable and connect one end to the S-Video output socket of the 
Video source device.
2. Connect the other end of the S-Video cable to the 
S-VIDEO socket on the 
projector.
Important
If the selected video image is not displayed after the projector is turned on 
and the correct video source has been selected, check that the Video source 
device is turned on and operating correctly. Also check that the signal cables 
have been connected correctly.
If you have already made a Component Video connection between the 
projector and this S-Video source device using Component Video 
connections, you need not connect to this device using an S-Video 
connection as this makes an unnecessary second connection of poorer 
picture quality. See “Connecting Video source devices” on page 17 for

Connecting a composite Video source device
Examine your Video source device to determine if it has a set of unused composite 
Video output sockets available:
If so, you can continue with this procedure.
If not, you will need to reassess which method you can use to connect to the 
device.
To connect the projector to a composite Video source device:
1. Take a Video cable and connect one end to the composite Video output socket of 
the Video source device.
2. Connect the other end of the Video cable to the VIDEO socket on the projector.Important
If the selected video image is not displayed after the projector is turned on 
and the correct video source has been selected, check that the Video source 
device is turned on and operating correctly. Also check that the signal cables 
have been connected correctly.
You need only connect to this device using a composite Video connection if 
Component Video and S-Video inputs are unavailable for use. See 
“Connecting Video source devices” on page 17 for details.
