Appendix A:

Connecting to a Desktop

Computer

This appendix describes how to connect the projector to your

desktop computer and turn everything on. The projector must

be connected to a computer or a video source such as a VCR,

camcorder, digital camera, DVD player, or laser disc player

before it can project any images. You may also want to set up

the projector for one or more of the following:

■Connect the mouse cable to use the remote control as a

wireless mouse. Except for some laptops, this disables your

computer’s mouse. You use the remote control’s pointer to

control the screen cursor.

■Provide audio for one or both image sources. The audio

source can be the computer, video source, or another device

such as a stereo.

■Connect to an external speaker or PA system to amplify the

audio (see your User’s Guide for instructions).

Positioning the Projector

Before you can set up the projector, you need to decide where

to place it. Keep the following in mind:

■Place the projector on a sturdy, level surface.

■Make sure the projector is within 10 feet of a grounded

electrical outlet or extension cord.

■Place the computer and/or video source within 5 feet of the

projector.

■Make sure the projector is at right angles to the screen.

Otherwise, your image will be distorted.

note

For instructions on

connecting to a laptop

computer or to external

speakers, see your User’s

Guide.

6Connecting to a Desktop Computer

Most presenters find it convenient to place the projector (and

computer) in the front of the room. With this arrangement, the

projector is placed close to the screen. You need to raise the

front of the projector (by extending the legs) in order to

position the image high enough on the screen. Then you can

use the projector’s keystone control to correct the distortion

caused by tilting up the front of the projector.

The distance between the projector and the screen determines

the actual image size. Use the general guidelines in the table

below to determine the proper distance.

note

It is easier to position the

projector when the screen is

directly in front of the room.

If the screen is placed

diagonally in a corner, it is

much more difficult to

position the projector

perpendicular to the screen

and get a non-distorted

image.

Connecting to a Desktop Computer 7

Identifying the Projector Ports

The following illustrations identify all the interface ports on the

back and side of the projector; you may want to refer to them as

you connect your computer or other equipment to the

projector.

Connecting to a PC Desktop

Computer

To connect the projector to your PC desktop computer, you

need to:

■Connect the computer cable

■Connect the audio cable (if you’ll be projecting with audio)

■Connect the mouse cable (if you want to use the remote

Connecting to a Desktop Computer 9

Connecting the Audio Cable

If your presentation includes sound effects or other types of

computer audio, you need to connect the audio cable.

1. Connect one end of the audio cable to the Audio In jack on

the projector.

2. Connect the other end of the audio cable to the speaker or

audio out port on your computer’s sound card.

Connecting the Cable for Remote Mouse

Control

Using the remote control as a wireless mouse gives you more

flexibility. You can deliver your presentation from anywhere in

the room and interact with the audience. You don’t need to

stand near your computer or near the projector.

You’ll use different cables and different ports on the projector,

depending on whether your computer has a round PS/2 mouse

port or a flat USB mouse port.

note

If you need maximum

volume (in a large

auditorium, for example),

you can also connect

external speakers or a public

address system to the

projector. See your User’s

Guide for instructions.
