Projecting without an attached monitor
Some display cards rely on sense line information from the monitor to configure themselves for the correct display resolution. The absence of sense line information causes some display cards to output a default video signal, and actually prevents some video cards from outputting video at all.
If you connect the projector to a computer without a monitor, power up your system and check to see if the display resolution is acceptable. If it is not, you will need to set the sense lines to make the projector emulate a monitor (see Appendix C: Sense Lines).

AUDIO OUT
This section shows how to connect audio and video to your projector. The DP9100 has multiple inputs for audio and video. If you are connecting only one audio or video source to your projector, use the VIDEO 1 and AUDIO 1 ports. Make sure that you connect your audio and video to the corresponding group. If you connect video to group one and audio to group two, you won’t hear the audio. Although both COMPUTER AUDIO IN and AUDIO IN may be connected simultaneously, only one is active:
• If computer video is selected, COMPUTER AUDIO IN is active.
• If NTSC/PAL/SECAM/S-Video are selected, AUDIO 1 IN is active.
Connecting video from a VCR
The Desktop Projector 9100 can project video from NTSC, PAL or SECAM sources (i.e., VCRs, laserdisc players and video cameras).
