Selecting the Image Source
Selecting the image source lets you switch between images input from
different pieces of equipment connected to the projector (such as a
computer and DVD player). If you don’t see the image you want,
press the
Source Search
button on the remote control or projector
until the correct device image is projected. If a projected image fails to
appear, see the next section for help.
Once you see your image, turn to page 40 for instructions on focusing
and making other image adjustments.
