Connecting to a Computer
You can connect the PowerLite projector to any computer that has a
standard video output (monitor) port, including desktop models,
PC notebook and notebook computers, Macintosh PowerBooks and
iBooks
® , and hand-held devices. You can connect up to two
computers at the same time. To connect to the
Computer/Component
ports (standard VGA cable connection), see
page 47. After connecting to the computer, you may also want to:
■
Connect a USB cable so you can use the remote control as a
mouse; see page 49
■
Connect a monitor to the projector so you can view your
presentation close-up as well as on-screen (not necessary if you’re
using a notebook); see page 50
■
Connect an audio cable to play computer audio; see page 56
note
If you connect a Windows-
based computer to the
projector, you may see a
New Hardware Wizard
saying your computer has
found a plug-and-play
monitor; if so, click
Cancel
.
note
For newer PowerBooks with
DVI connectors, see your
computer’s documentation
to see how to use a DVI to
VGA adapter (usually
included with the computer)
to connect to the VGA
Computer port.
If you’re using an older
Macintosh and you can’t
connect the cable to your
computer, you may need to
use the Macintosh desktop
adapter, as shown on
page 48 (available from
Epson; see page 13).
