Connecting to the Computer Port
Follow these instructions:
1. You can connect to the
Computer
port in three ways:
■ using the VGA computer cable that came with the projector
(the monitor port on your computer must be a mini D-sub
15-pin port)
■ using a commercially available 13w3 D-sub 15-pin cable, if
your computer has a 13w3 monitor port
■ using the optional BNC/VGA component video cable, if
your computer provides video output through BNC
connectors (see “Optional Accessories” on page 6).
2. If you’re using the VGA computer cable, connect one end to the
projector’s
Computer
port, and the other end to your computer’s
monitor port. Then go to step 4.
caution
Don’t try to force a
connector to fit a port with a
different shape or number of
pins. You may damage the
port or connector.

If you’re using a PowerBook
or an older Macintosh and
you can’t connect the cable

need to use the Macintosh
