When setting up for a presentation with a projector, ensure that the projector is set to the correct input device. A number of people call in for tech support when the projector doesn’t display what’s on the computer. Simply push the “INPUT” button on the projector’s remote control to switch input devices. (Often times, the projector is set to take input from a DVD player or VCR.) To switch the projector over to the DVD/VCR, simply push the “INPUT” button again.
If you are running your presentation from a laptop computer and the projector still isn't showing what's on the laptop screen, you probably need to switch the display mode. To do this, hold down the function key ("Fn") and hit F8. This switches the laptop between three display modes: laptop only, projector only, laptop and projector.
In conference rooms with a stereo system, you may also want to ensure that the stereo receiver is set to the correct input (either "computer" or "DVD/VCR") if audio is part of your presentation. In addition, if you find that the DVD/VCR won’t play your DVD or VHS tape, ensure that the correct side (DVD or VCR) is selected.
