Connecting to a Computer for VGA Video You can connect the projector to your computer using a VGA computer cable. Note: To connect a Mac that includes only a Mini DisplayPort, Thunderbolt port, or Mini-DVI port for video output, you need to obtain an adapter that allows you to connect to the projector's VGA video port. Contact Apple for compatible adapter options. 1. If necessary, disconnect your computer's monitor cable. 2. Connect the VGA computer cable to your computer's monitor port. 3. Connect the other end to a Computer port on the projector. Note: If you choose the Computer2 port, you may need to change the Monitor Out Port setting in the projector's Extended menu. 4. Tighten the screws on the VGA connector.
