Connecting the Projector
You can connect the projector to three computer sources or
four video sources—up to a total of four sources. You can
include an independent sound channel for each source. (See
the User’s Guide for complete setup instructions.) Using
EasyMP,
®
you can also connect over a wireless network, or
view images on a memory card or digital camera.
Note: The preview feature lets you see all the sources at a glance,
so you can easily switch among them. See page 5.
Types of Connections
The following connections are possible, depending on the
signal your equipment generates and its available output ports.
Note that the projector’s
Computer and BNC ports accept a
variety of input signals. If you’re connecting to one of these
ports, you’ll need to make sure that the correct input signal
setting is selected, or your image won’t display properly.
To change the input signal setting, do the following:
1. After turning on the projector, press the
Menu button. The
menu screen appears.
2. Select the
Setting menu.
3. Change the
Computer Input or BNC Input setting as
needed to match the signal generated by your computer or
video equipment. (See the User’s Guide for more
information.)
Playing Sound Through the Projector
You can play sound through the projector’s speaker system or
you can attach an external speaker system.
To play sound through the projector, use one of the following
cables that came with your projector:
❏ If you have a computer or video equipment connected to
the
Computer or DVI port, use the stereo mini-jack cable.
Connect one end to the correct audio port (see below), and
the other end to the audio-output connector on your
equipment.
❏ If you have a computer or video equipment connected to
the
BNC ports, or to the Video or S-Video port, use the
the RCA-style audio cable. Connect one end to the jack
corresponding to the connected port, and the other end to
the audio-output connector on your equipment.
To connect external speakers, use the
Audio Out port on the
back of the projector. You may be able to use a commercially
available audio cable with a stereo mini-jack connector on one
end and pin jacks on the other, or you may have to purchase a
special cable or use an adapter, depending on your stereo
system. See the User’s Guide for more information.
Using the Remote Control as a Wireless
Mouse
If you’ve connected a computer to the projector, you can
use the projector’s remote control as a wireless mouse by
connecting the USB cable that came with the projector to
the projector’s
Type B USB port. The wireless mouse function
is supported on systems with a USB port running Windows
®
XP, 98, 2000, or Me, or Macintosh OS 8.6 to OS X 10.2. See
the User’s Guide for more information.
