Connecting a monitor
If you want to view your presentation close-up on a monitor as well as on the screen, you
can connect the projector to an external monitor by following the instructions below.
To connect the projector to a monitor (either through a VGA cable or VGA to
DVI-A cable):
The final connection path should be like that shown in the following diagram:
• With a VGA cable: • With a VGA to DVI-A cable:
Note: Your monitor must be equipped with a
DVI input socket.
1. Connect the projector to a computer as described in "Connecting a computer" on
page 23 .
The D-SUB OUT output only works when an appropriate D-Sub input is made to the
projector. Be sure the projector is connecting with the computer using the D-SUB IN
socket, not the DVI-I socket.
2. Take a suitable VGA cable (only one
supplied) and connect one end of the
cable to the D-Sub input socket of the
video monitor.
3. Connect the other end of the cable to
the D-SUB OUT socket on the
projector.
2. Take a VGA to DVI-A cable and
connect the DVI end of the cable to the
DVI input socket of the video monitor.
3. Connect the VGA end of the cable to
the D-SUB OUT socket on the
projector.
