LCD Projector - Setup

LCD Projector - Setup

• The LCD projector can be a very useful tool for
  the school and for individual classrooms.
• Using its features will allow you to show videos
  on a whole wall instead of by a TV screen barely
  visible from the back of the room.
• You can attach a computer and demonstrate to your
  class using anything you could summon up on your
  monitor, pictures, PowerPoint presentation such
  as this or media clips and even the internet
  itself.

• The first connection you must make is for power.
• On this LCD projector the power cord connects
  here, on the back of the LCD in the lower left
  hand corner.
• The other end will connect to an outlet or an
  extension cord

• Next lets get the monitor connection going.
• Take the cable with the plugs on the ends with
  many tiny pins cluster inside a metal collar.
• It plugs in right here.

• The other end of the monitor cable will plug into
  the back of your computer.
• In the case on the right it plugs into an extra
  output provided by the manufacturer.

LCD Setup Getting Video

• If you are connecting to a desktop, unless you
  have two video outputs, you will have to
  disconnect the monitor first
• Then plug the blue monitor cable that came with
  the LCD into the same connection

• Next connect both the computer monitor cable AND
  the other end of the blue LCD monitor cable to
  the back of the LCD projector as shown
• This will loop the video back to your computer so
  you can see something on the screen now that your
  monitor is connected to the LCD

LCD Setup Getting Audio

• Next comes the sound cable. This cable channels
  sound from your computer to the sound system in
  the LCD projector. This provides somewhat louder
  sound although dont expect surround sound. If
  you are serious about sound or have a large noisy
  room to work in, explore other ways of amplifying
  the sound.
• Connect the mini plug to the socket shown on the
  right.

• The other end should go to the Line Out jack on
  your laptop or sound card.
• Look for an icon near the jack which shows
  something like this, signifying that this jack
  sends audio out.

LCD Setup Getting Remote Control

• The remote control is the little silver panel
  concealed in the container on the bottom of the
  LCD projector.
• It needs to have a USB connection between the
  computer and the projector.
• If you wish to use the remote control connect the
  USB cable to the socket as shown on the right

• Now connect the flatter end to the USB port on
  your computer.
• If you dont see a connection which will accept
  this type of cable it may mean that your computer
  doesnt have a USB port and therefore you will
  have to advance your presentation manually.
