Connection 13
Connection
When connecting a signal source to the projector, be sure to:
1. Turn all equipment off before making any connections.
2. Use the correct signal cables for each source.
3. Ensure the cables are firmly inserted.
In the connections shown below, some cables may not be included with the projector (see
"Shipping contents" on page 4). They are commercially available from electronics stores.
Connecting a computer or monitor
Connecting a computer
The projector provides a VGA input socket that allows you to connect it to both
IBM® compatibles and Macintosh® computers. A Mac adapter is needed if you are
connecting legacy version Macintosh computers.
To connect the projector to a notebook or desktop computer:
1. Take the supplied VGA cable and connect one end to the D-Sub output
socket of the computer.
2. Connect the other end of the VGA cable to the D-SUB IN signal input socket
on the projector.
3. If you wish to make use of the projector (mixed mono) speaker in your
presentations, take a suitable audio cable and connect one end of the cable to
the audio output socket of the device, and the other end to the AUDIO socket
of the projector.
Once connected, the audio can be controlled by the projector On-Screen
Display (OSD) menus. See "Adjusting the sound" on page 34 for details.
The final connection path should be like that shown in the following diagram:
Many notebooks do not turn on their external video ports when connected to a projector.
Usually a key combo like FN + F3 or CRT/LCD key turns the external display on/off. Locate a
function key labeled CRT/LCD or a function key with a monitor symbol on the notebook. Press
FN and the labeled function key simultaneously. Refer to your notebook's documentation to
find your notebook's key combination.
