Connecting a ComputerThe projector ships with an analog computer cable. If your computer has a digital output, you can order the optional digital computer cable. Using a digital source generates the highest qualityand brightest image possible. See “Optional Accessories” onpage 39.1 Plug the end of the computer cable with one cable into theconnector on the projector.2 Plug the blue end of the computer cable into the video connector on your computer.3 If you want to advance slides in a PowerPoint presentationusing the remote, plug the USB cable into the USB mouse connector on your computer.NOTE: Many laptop computersdo not automatically turn on theirexternal video port when a secondary display device such as aprojector is connected. Refer toyour computer manual for thecommand that activates the external video port. Activation commands for some laptop computersare listed in the Appendix of thismanual on page 40 and in theUSB mouseService section of our website.computer cableFIGURE 6Connecting the projector to a computerNow you’re ready to power up the projector and your laptop.Skip to “Powering up the Projector and Adjusting the Image” onpage 9.NOTE: The USB mouse is supported for use with Windows 98,Windows 2000, and Apple OS 8.5and higher only.NOTE: You do not need to restartyour computer after connecting aUSB mouse to use it7

SettinguptheProjectorConnecting a Video PlayerIf your video player uses a round, one-prong composite videoconnector, use the composite video cable. If your video playeruses a round, four-prong S-video connector, use the S-videocable. S-video generates a higher quality image.NOTE: HDTV sources must beconnected to the projector using1 Plug the composite video cable’s round yellow connector intothe “video-out” connector on your video player (Figure 7).This connector may be labeled “To Monitor.”the computer cable (not the video If you’re using an S-video cable, connect the round blackcable).
