Setting Up the Projector 21
Connecting an External Monitor
If you want to see your presentation close-up as well as on the
projection screen, you can connect an external monitor to the
projector. This lets you view images on your computer monitor while
the projector is in standby mode (plugged in but not turned on). You
can also check your presentation or switch between picture sources
even if you’ve pressed the
A/V Mute button on the remote control to
turn off projection on the screen.
Simultaneous display is possible only when the computer is connected
to the projector’s
Computer (PowerLite 260d), or Computer1
(PowerLite 280d) port.
Make sure the projector and computer are off. Then connect the
monitor’s cable to the projector’s
Monitor Out port, as shown:
If you don’t need to make any other connections, you can plug in
your projector and turn it on. See page 31 for instructions.
note
Some LCD monitors may
not be able to display the
image correctly. If you have
trouble displaying the
image, connect a multiscan
monitor. If you’re projecting
computer images, make sure
the computer’s refresh rate is
set to 65 Hz or greater.
