the equipment to be connected. After making all connections, turn on the projector and then the other
pieces of equipment. When connecting a computer, ensure that it is the last equipment to be turned on after
all the connections are made.
IMPORTANT:
Ensure that the appropriate input mode has been selected on the projector before you
turn on the connected equipment.
