A Mac adapter (an optional accessory) is needed if you are connecting legacy version
Macintosh computers.

Many laptops do not turn on their external video ports when connected to a projector.
Usually a key combo like FN + F3 or CRT/LCD key turns the external display on/off.
Locate a function key labeled CRT/LCD or a function key with a monitor symbol on the
laptop. Press FN and the labeled function key simultaneously. Refer to your laptop’s
documentation to find your laptop’s key combination.

can connect the RGB signal output socket on the projector to an external monitor with a
VGA cable following the instructions below:
1.
Connect the projector to a computer as described in
"Connecting a computer" on page
2.
Take a suitable VGA cable (only one supplied) and connect one end of the cable to the
D-Sub input socket of the video monitor.
3.
Connect the other end of the cable to the D_SUB OUT socket on the projector.
The final connection path should be like that shown in the following diagram:
The D-Sub output only works when an appropriate D-Sub input is made to the projector.
