Connecting Your Pc Or Macintosh Computer - NEC MultiSync LT 80 User Manual

Connecting Your PC Or Macintosh Computer

Connecting your PC or Macintosh computer to your MultiSync LT80 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
To connect to a PC, Macintosh or computer equipped with an 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 SVGA/VGA you will need to install an SVGA/VGA graphics board. Consult your computer's owner's manual for your
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 monitor
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 LT80, set the DIP switch of the supplied monitor 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, VGA/SVGA (800 600) 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.
