1.4What Next?
After you have unpacked the MP8640 system and identified all the parts, you are ready to set up the projector.
The MP8640 Multimedia Projector integrates metal halide lamp and polysilicon LCD display technology into a
single unit. It accepts input from two different computer sources and two video/audio sources and projects a bright,
super crisp image. Switching your presentation from a computer input to a video input, and then back to a computer
input simply requires the push of a button on the remote control keypad or control panel keypad.
The MP8640 Multimedia Projector offers the following features:
•650 lumens (A highly efficient optical system with a metal halide lamp ensures high brightness)
•SVGA resolution (3 separate 800 x 600 LCD panels are used for the R, G and B signals)
Caution:Turn power off to all devices before making connections. Never plug anything into the
projector or computer while any device is in operation.
The MP8640 must be powered down when making connections. The mouse emulation may
not work if the unit is not powered down before the mouse cable connections are made.
