When you use the remote, you can locate the projector (and computer) far enough from the screen to get a large image, without worrying about where you will stand. You can move around the room and interact with your audience, while still controlling your presentation. s Sound connections If your presentation includes "computer audio" or sound effects, you'll need to connect the audio cable. This lets you use the projector's speaker instead of the speaker in your laptop. If you need more amplification, you can also connect external speakers or a public address system to the projector. s Video connections You can connect a VCR, camcorder, laser disc player, DVD player, digital camera, or any other video source to your projector. You can connect the video source and a computer at the same time, and easily switch between sources. Getting Started 11

Choosing Your Connections
The connections you’ll need to make depend on the equipment
you’re using, whether your presentation includes sound, and
whether you plan to use the remote to run your presentation.
Computer connection
For many presentations, the only connection you’ll need is
between your computer and the projector. To connect a
PC laptop, see page 12. To connect a Macintosh
PowerBook, see page 15.
Remote control connection
To use the remote control as a wireless mouse, you’ll need
to connect the mouse cable. When you use the remote, you
can locate the projector (and computer) far enough from
the screen to get a large image, without worrying about
where you will stand. You can move around the room and
interact with your audience, while still controlling your
presentation.
Sound connections
If your presentation includes “computer audio” or sound
effects, you’ll need to connect the audio cable. This lets you
use the projector’s speaker instead of the speaker in your
laptop. If you need more amplification, you can also
connect external speakers or a public address system to the
projector.
Video connections
You can connect a VCR, camcorder, laser disc player, DVD
player, digital camera, or any other video source to your
projector. You can connect the video source and a
computer at the same time, and easily switch between
sources.
note
You can also connect your
projector to a desktop
computer or Macintosh.
For instructions, see the
electronic User’s Guide
Supplement on the
projector CD-ROM.
