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 
notebook's documentation to find your notebook's 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 12.
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.
3. 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.
4. Connect the other end of the cable to the COMPUTER OUT socket on the projec-
tor.
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:
•HDMI
• Component Video
• S-Video
• Composite (video)

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 ter-
minals on both the!projector and the Video source device as described below:
Connecting an HDMI source device
Examine your Video source device to determine if it has a set of unused HDMI output
jacks 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 HDMI source device:
1. Take an HDMI cable and connect one end to the HDMI output jack of the HDMI
source device.
2. Connect the other end of the HDMI cable to the HDMI jack on the projector.
