Laptop computer with XGA projector.
An XGA projector, which stands for Extended Graphics Array, illuminates an image on a reflective screen. The projector unit connects to a source signal, such as a computer, for viewing content from the source device. A computer equipped with a DVD or Blu-ray player can be used for playback of video discs through the XGA projector. A standard D-sub cable with 15 metal pins inside the plug on each end is needed to hook up with the XGA projector.
Instructions
1. Hook up the D-sub cable from the input on the XGA projector's back panel to the source signal, such as a laptop computer, tightening the two screws on the plug at the end of each cable.
2. Plug in the audio cable from the computer speakers into the line out or headphones jack on the source device, and connect the power cord for the speakers to a wall outlet.
3. Turn on the power for the XGA projector and the laptop.
4. Insert a DVD or Blu-ray disc into the media tray of the laptop or other source component and close the tray.
5. Play back the disc on the source component, adjusting the volume as desired on the external speakers.
6. Adjust the focus control on the projector for a sharper image. Some XGA projectors can be focused using the remote control that comes with the unit; others focus by adjusting the ring on the lens at the front of the projector. Turn the ring to the left or right to focus the video.
