Using the LCD
• The LCD projector is all
connected. Your audience is
seated and breathlessly waiting
for your presentation.

you just connected to?

still need to do some fiddling.

audience is too!

Notice that in the lower left hand

If you are using a computer then this
is fine however if you are using a
video recorder as your source then
you need to change it
You do this by pressing the Source
button located on the top of the LCD
projector
Each time you press it the LCD
projector will switch from Video to
Computer and back again

Now take a look at your displays.
Your screen may look different from
this one but it will show you your
possibilities for video.
You need to make sure that BOTH
the LCD (sometimes called Panel)
and the Monitor are active.
This may mean clicking the little
green corner on this screen or
activating it in other equally peculiar
ways depending on your machine.
In most cases this will solve your
problem.
LCD Setup – Remote Control

add to your presentation is
the use of the remote
control

between Video and Computer as
well as Muting and Menu
buttons. Consult your manual for
all the functions
