USB connection
A USB interface is available via an upstream connector.
When the projector’s USB (upstream) connector is connected
to a PC or an Apple Macintosh computer equipped with a USB
downlink connection, it will identify as a USB device.
It is possible to:
–
control the cursor of the computer via the projector remote
control,
– play audio information from the computer via the projector
speaker,
and
– the display settings of the computer will be changed to fit
the capability of the projector.

please refer to the user guide or support information of
your computer.

control on the remote control:
•
Check that the batteries are installed properly and/or replace
the batteries.
