This is one of the most common questions we get from customers. So, we’re posting a video above which we got from youtube.
We’ve also re-written the steps below
HOW TO CONNECT YOUR LAPTOP TO A PROJECTOR
- Make sure your computer and laptop are both turned off.
- Connect the video cable (usually VGA, it’s the black wire with blue plastic plug) from your laptop’s external video port to the projector. (For Apple & Macbooks, YOU NEED AN ADAPTOR)
- Plug your projector into an electrical outlet and press the “power” button to turn it ON.
- Turn on your laptop.
- If you need audio for your presentation, connect the laptop’s “audio out” port to another sound system (we only rent out the Projector which has NO SOUND).
- Sync the projector and laptop by holding down the FUNCTION key “Fn” (usually on the lower left of the keyboard) and pressing one of the following F Keys; F4, F5, F7 or F8 (this will vary depending on your laptop model)
- If you’ve made it this far, you should only need to adjust the focus, dim the lights, and fire up your presentation! If you need additional help with your setup, please feel free to ask our technician for help or CONTACT US
