16 Setting Up the Projector
Connecting to a Computer
You can connect the PowerLite projector to any computer that has a
standard video output (monitor) port, including desktop models,
PC notebook and laptop computers, Macintosh PowerBooks and
iBooks, and hand-held devices. You can connect up to three
computers at the same time:
■ To connect to the Computer port (standard VGA cable
connection), see page 17.
■ To connect using the BNC ports, see page 19.
■ To connect using the DVI (Digital Video Interface) port, see
page 20.
After connecting to the computer, you may also want to:
■ connect a USB cable so you can use the remote control as a
mouse; see page 22
■ connect a monitor to the projector so you can view your
presentation close-up as well as on-screen (not necessary if you’re
using a laptop); see page 23
■ connect an audio cable to play computer audio; see page 24
note
If you connect a Windows-
based computer to the
projector, you may see a
New Hardware Wizard
saying your computer has
found a plug-and-play
monitor; if so, click Cancel.
