Setting Up the Projector

4. If necessary, configure your laptop to work with an external 

mouse. 

If you don’t need to make any other connections, you can plug in 
your projector and turn it on. See page 20 for instructions.

Amplifying Computer Audio

Your laptop probably has its own sound system; however, it may not 
be adequate for your presentation. If you need more volume or better 
sound quality, you can connect a computer audio cable to take 
advantage of the projector’s built-in amplifier and speaker. You can 
obtain a computer audio cable (3.5-mm stereo miniplug cable) from a 
computer or electronics dealer.

1. Connect one end of the audio cable to the 

Audio In 

jack on the 

projector.

  

2. Connect the other end of the audio cable to your laptop’s  

headphone jack or 

 audio-out jack. (Jack locations vary; see 

your computer manual if you’re not sure of which jack to use.)

If you don’t need to make any other connections, you can plug in 
your projector and turn it on. See page 20 for instructions.
