See "Optional Accessories" on page 39. 6 Connecting a Computer The projector ships with an analog computer cable. If your computer has a digital output, you can order the optional digital computer cable. Using a digital source generates the highest quality and brightest image possible.

NOTE: Many laptop computers do not automatically turn on their external video port when a secondary display device such as a projector is connected. Refer to your computer manual for the command that activates the external video port. Activation commands for some laptop computers are listed in the Appendix of this manual on page 40 and in the USB mouse computer cable Service section of our website.
