Connecting a computer
The projector can connect 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 jack of the
computer.
2.
Connect the other end of the VGA cable to the COMPUTER signal input jack on
the projector.
3.
If you wish to make use of the projector (mixed mono) speaker(s) in your
presentations, take a suitable audio cable and connect one end of the cable to the
audio output jack of the computer, and the other end to the AUDIO (L/R) jack of
the projector.
Once connected, the audio can be controlled by the projector On-Screen Display
(OSD) menus. See
"Audio Settings" on page 49
for details.
The built-in speaker will be muted when the AUDIO OUT jack is connected.
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.
