How do i get monitor output

You don't say whether or not the "adapter" is simply a gender-changer, or if it actually converts the digital signal from the HDMI port to an analog one for the VGA port. Some monitors have both analog and digital input capability and can automatically adapt to the the digital signal, even if applied to the VGA (analog) port. Other devices are not so smart and need an actual digital-to-analog converter style adapter.

The problem could be in the adapter to the video card. There are different types of DVI connections. If the adapter does not have the proper set of pins then the card will not recognize that a monitor is connected at that port. Monitors themselves have no bearing on whether a single or dual monitor set up will work or not.

You can switch to an external monitor or data projector by two methods. 1. Connect the external monitor to the laptop's video port, power up the external monitor first and the laptop. The video information will automatically switch to the external monitor. 2. If you power up the laptop first then you can switch the video output to the external monitor by pressing the Fn key and one of the Function keys, depending upon your make and model laptop. You can also toggle between the external monitor or both LCD screen plus the external monitor or back to LCD screen only by pressing the Fn key plus one of the function key a few times. Here is a list of key combinations for some of the laptops :- IBM ThinkPad = Fn + F7 HP and Compaq = Fn + F4 Toshiba = Fn + F5 ASUS and Dell = Fn + F8

1. You will need a VGA or S-video cable and a 1/4 inch stereo plug that will go from the earphone jack to the EZpro then out to a amplified system for the sound.
2. I believe the EZpro has connections for HDMI which will supply sound as well as High definition video. You should have an adapter for the HDMI also if you

1. USB Connector (Connect to PC for Remote Mouse function)
2. RS-232 Connector

This projector has a maximum input resolution of 800 x 600, so if your computer is set to a higher one (which it probably is) and the projector is connected to your primary output, you'll see nothing. Here's what to do:
If you have 2 outputs as most video cards do nowadays connect the projector to one and the PC to the other. (you may need a DVI-VGA adaptor, usually one comes with your video card if you do).

Right click on an empty bit of desktop. A pop-up menu will appear and one of the items will be the control panel for your video card (usually nVidia or ATI). Start that up, and there will be an option to connect multiple monitors, as well whether you want cloned output or an extended desktop. You can set your resolution here. Make the projector your secondary monitor. It does not matter if it cloned or and extended desktop - if it is extended you can drag media player into it and maximize it to watch films etc, but cloned is best for games. make sure the reolution of the secondary monitor is no more than 1024x768.

If you have only one video ouput from your PC, go into video settings as before and just make sure that the resolution is set to 1024 x 768 or lower before you connect the projector.

When connected, keep pressing the input button until it toggles to VGA mode. Should work now.

this manual will tell you if you can or not but with most projectors it will not show both the computers at once but you could have both pluged in and switch between computers,http://www.fixya.com/support/p201884-sony_vpl_cs7_multimedia_projector/manual-16017

Hello

1. Start by making sure the laptop and projector are both turned off before you start trying to make any connections.
2. Locate the video cable -Usually your computer should have a svideo ort out. The projector should have either a hdmi or a RCA immput ports, thus you need a svieo to rca cable. Otherwise your laptop should have a VGA port oout where the projectorr should have a VGA port in.
   
3. Make sure both ends are securely connected and tighten if necessary. Use a screwdriver or small pliers to tighten the connectors. A loose connection at either end will prevent you from displaying your presentation.
4. Locate the audio cable and connect the audio cable included with the projector to the Audio Out on the laptop and Audio In on the projector. Make sure these connections are tight.
5. Start your laptop and the projector. Make sure to check all connections to ensure they have been properly connected.

Really hope this can help you.

Kind regards

You're going to need a conversion dongle that goes from the Mini-DVI to VGA.

Then:

1. Connect one end of the projector signal cable to the Video Graphics Array (VGA) connector on the projector.
2. Connect the other end of the projector signal cable to the Digital Video Interface (DVI) connector or VGA connector on the notebook computer and tighten the screws.
3. Connect the projector power cord to the power cord connector on the projector.
4. Connect the other end of the power cord to an electrical outlet that is easily accessible and close to the projector.
5. Turn on the projector first, then turn on the computer.

Have you use the Fn Key plus the Monitor Icon written on another F Key in the same color as the Fn Key?
