This section describes how to:
• determine where to position the projector
• connect the projector to a computer or a video source
• turn on and turn off the projector
If you are experienced in setting up presentation systems, use the
Quick Start card that came with the KODAK DP2900 Digital
Projector. Otherwise, follow the procedures described here.
Positioning the Projector
Note: If you want to project f rom behind a tran slucent screen, set up
the projector behind your screen. See “Rear Projection” on
page 38 to reverse the image.

feet (3 m) of your power sourc e and wi th in 6 f eet (1.8 m) of your
image source.
2. Position the projector the desired distance from the screen.
• The distance from the lens of the projector to the screen and
the zoom setting determine the size of the projected image.
Three projected image sizes are shown here. For more
information about image size, see “Projected Image Size” on

Connecting a Video Source
If your video source uses a round, one-prong composite video
connector, you’ll need only the audio cable, audio adapter, and
composite video cable that shipped with the projector.
Note: HDTV sources are connected to the projector using the
M1-DA computer cable. See the previous pages for details.
If your video source uses a round, four-prong S-video connector,
you’ll need an S-video cable in addition to the audio cable and audio
adapter. The S-video cable is sold separately.
To connect to a video source:
1. Plug the composite video cable’s yellow connector into the
“video-out” connector on your video source. This connector may
be labeled “To Monitor.”
• If you’re using an S-video cable, connect it to the “S-video
out” connector on the video source.

The projector ships with a remote control that has four function
buttons, a disk mouse and two mouse buttons—one on the top of the
remote and one on the bottom.
Point the remote control at the projection screen or at the front of the
projector. The range for optimum operation is about 25 feet. If you
point the remote at the projection screen, the distance to the screen
and back to the projector must be less than or equal to 25 feet. For
best results, point the remote directly at the projector.

Portable and Laptop Activation Chart
Many laptop computers do not automatically turn on their external
video port when a projector is connected. Activation commands for
some laptop computers are listed in the following table. (If your
computer is not listed or the given command does not work, refer to
the computer’s documentation for the appropriate command.) On
many laptops, the activation function key is labeled with an icon, for
example or the text CRT/LCD.
Note: Usually, pressing the key commands once activates the
external video port, pressing it again activates both the
external and internal ports, and pressing it a third time
activates the internal port. Refer to your computer

Using Video Mirroring with a PowerBook
Computer
When you turn video mirroring (called SimulScan in newer
PowerBooks—see below) on, the projector displays the same
information that appears on your PowerBook’s built-in screen. When
video mirroring is off, the projector acts like a separate display.
To turn on video mirroring for the first time:
1. Open the Monitors control panel; click on Monitor 2.
2. Set the number of colors you want.
3. Open the Control Strip, then click on the monitor icon.
4. Select “Turn Video Mirroring On.”
Now you can turn video mirroring on and off from the Control Strip
without having to open the Monitors control panel again.
When using video mirroring and high color graphics such as slide
shows, the projected image occasionally might turn black and white.
If this happens, perform the following steps:
1. Turn off video mirroring.
2. Open the Monitors control panel.
3. Move the white menu bar to Monitor 2 to set the projector as the
primary monitor.
4. Restart the PowerBook.
67
User Guide KODAK DP2900 Digital Projector
Using SimulScan
Some newer PowerBooks display images on an external monitor or
projector differently than previous ones. When using SimulScan, the
projector displays the same information that appears on your
PowerBook
To select SimulScan:
1. Open the Control Panel, then double-click Monitors and Sound.
2. In the Resolution list, choose the SimulScan mode, then click
OK.
3. If this changes your display settings, a dialog box appears. Click
OK to confirm the change.
