Connecting PowerBooks to Projectors

Connecting a PowerBook to a multimedia projector is a snap. Follow these quick steps, and you’ll be presenting in no time!

Note
Laptop configurations vary. Consult your computer manual for the location of the ports needed to connect your projector.


To connect a PowerBook to a multimedia projector

  1. Before you begin, make sure your projector and laptop are turned off.


  2. Connect the video cable.


    • Connect either end of the video cable to the projector’s Computer In port.


    • Remove the small cover and set the DIP switches on the Macintosh desktop adapter to the resolutions you want to use (such as 16-inch mode).


    • Connect the small terminal of the Macintosh desktop adapter to the other end of the video cable.


    • Connect one end of the video-out cable included with your Macintosh to the Video Out connector on the back of the computer.


    • Connect the other end of the Macintosh Video Out cable to the projector cable (with the adapter attached).


    • Tighten the screws on both connectors to make sure they are fastened securely.

  3. Connect the mouse cable to use the remote control as a mouse pointer for the laptop.


    • Connect the small end of the Mac mouse cable included with the projector to the laptop’s Mouse port.


    • Connect the other end of the Mac mouse cable included with the projector to the projector’s Mouse/Com port.

  4. Connect the audio cable if needed (and if your laptop has an Audio Out jack).


    • Connect one end of the audio cable to the Audio In jack on the projector.


    • Connect the other end of the audio cable to the Audio Out jack on your laptop.
