Connecting this unit with a personal computer permits presentation data to be projected as a large
screen display at conferences, lectures, and on other occasions. Furthermore, connecting this unit to
a DVD player or other video equipment source in combination with an audio/video amplifier and speaker
system will allow you to enjoy convincing home theater.
Connections with PC Connectors
