Connecting Your PC Or Macintosh Computer

Connecting your PC or Macintosh computer to your MultiSync LT81 (SVGA)/ LT100 (XGA) Projector will enable you to project your
computer's screen image for an impressive presentation. All of these following display standards are supported:
VGA 640 480 for graphics
VGA 640 350 for graphics
VGA 720 350 for text
Macintosh at 640 480
XGA1024 768 (AccuBlend) Macintosh at 1024 768 (AccuBlend)
SXGA1280 1024 (AccuBlend)*
* indicates that this resolution is supported by LT100 only.
To connect to a PC, Macintosh or computer equipped with an XGA/SVGA/VGA adapter or compatible graphics adapter, simply:
1. Turn off the power to your projector and computer.
2. If your PC does not support XGA/SVGA/VGA you will need to install an XGA/SVGA/VGA graphics board. Consult your computer's owner's
manual for your XGA/SVGA/VGA configuration. If you need to install a new board, see the manual that comes with your new graphics board for
installation instructions.
3. Use the signal cable that's supplied to connect your PC or Macintosh computer to the projector. For Macintosh, use the supplied pin adapter to
connect to your computer's video port.
4. Turn on the projector and the computer.
5. If the projector goes blank after a period of inactivity, it may be caused by a screen saver installed on the computer you've connected to the projector.
When using a Macintosh with the LT81/LT100, set the DIP switch of the supplied pin adapter according to your resolution. After setting, restart
your Macintosh.
See the following pages for setting of the DIP switch.
• When using with a Macintosh, SVGA (800 600) / XGA (1024 768) is recommended if your Macintosh supports this mode.
• When using with a Macintosh PowerBook, output may not be set to 800 600 unless "mirroring" is off on your PowerBook. Refer to owner's manual
supplied with your Macintosh computer for mirroring.
NOTE: A Video Adapter cable manufactured by Apple Computer is needed for a PowerBook which does not have a mini D-Sub 15-pin connector.
