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.
LCD Projector - Setup
• 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
LCD Setup – Getting Video
• Next let’s 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
LCD Setup – Getting Video
• 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 don’t 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 don’t see a
connection which will
accept this type of cable it
may mean that your
computer doesn’t have a
USB port and therefore you
will have to advance your
presentation manually.

• Congratulations. You have
now connected the LCD
projector to your computer.
• Next you should look at
startup and how to use the
various functions of the
LCD in the next
presentation.
• For now bask in the glory.
