Setting Up the Projector 29
Connecting to a Computer
You can connect the projector to a Windows or Mac computer using
the projector’s
TypeB (square) USB port. This lets you carry a
lightweight cable with you when you transport the projector (see
page 29).
You can connect the projector to any computer that has a standard
video output (monitor) port, including desktop models, PC and Mac
computers, and hand-held devices. See page 32 for instructions.
To play sound through the projector, connect an audio cable (see
page 40).
You may be able to use your remote control as a wireless mouse when
projecting from a computer (see page 61).

You can connect a PC with a 32-bit version of Windows 7, Windows
Vista

X 10.5.1 or 10.6.x to the projector’s TypeB (square)
