Multimedia Projector MP8020
1996
Next, find the AUDIO OUT terminals on your VCR or other audio source. Insert the left and right audio cable
connectors (Figure 3-7) to the input source, and connect the other end to the AUDIO-L and AUDIO-R
terminals on the MP8020.
Note
The MP8020 projector is not a stereo device. Stereo sound channeled
through it becomes monophonic due to an internal sound mixer that
converts stereo to mono.

Input Cable
If you are giving a multimedia presentation that is complete with stereophonic sound, then you may want to
consider connecting your audio source to a high-quality stereo system. Of course, if you route your audio
cables this way, the MP8020 audio controls
or
buttons will not function.
BNC Connection
The MP8020 projector has a single BNC connector. The BNC cable, available at most electronic stores, can be
used for video input. Connect one end to the BNC jack on the input source device, and the other end to the
BNC jack (terminal 2 only) on the MP8020. Remember to connect the audio cables (RCA type connectors) for
sound output.
Mouse Receiver Connection
The MP8020 remote control receiver can be used to control the mouse button functions on your computer.
The “Mouse Receiver” must be installed for this feature to function. The mouse receiver can be connected
to either a serial port (Figure 3-8) or mouse port (Figure 3-9) on your computer. For either serial port
(Figure 3-10) or mouse port (Figure 3-11) connections, the computer mouse can be hooked into the loop
allowing both the computer mouse and MP8020 mouse buttons to function. Always remember to power down
your computer before making any cable connections.
Note
Serial computer mice with a large power requirement (20 mA or greater) may not be compatibile.
