Setting Up the Projector
29
You can also install the projector in three other viewing setups: ceiling
projection, rear projection onto a semi-transparent screen, or rear/
ceiling projection.
To project from overhead, you’ll need the optional ceiling mounting
hardware (see page 17). You’ll also need to select the appropriate
Projection
setting in the projector’s Extended menu to orient the
image correctly (see page 73).
Connecting to a Computer
You can connect the projector to a Windows or Macintosh computer
using the projector’s
TypeB
USB port. This lets you carry a
lightweight cable with you when you transport the projector (see
page 30).
You can connect the projector to any computer that has a standard
video output (monitor) port, including desktop models, PC and
Macintosh computers, and hand-held devices. See page 32 for
instructions.
To play sound through the projector, connect an audio cable (see
page 40).
You may be able to use your remote control as a wireless mouse when
projecting from a computer (see page 58).

note
To connect a Macintosh
that includes only a Mini
Display Port or Mini-DVI
port for video output, you
need to obtain an adapter
that allows you to connect to
the projector's VGA video
port. Contact Apple for
compatible adapter options.
