Connect the computer to the projector using the appropriate cable and adapter. If you wish to use the projector's speakers, you will also need to connect an audio cable to the computer's headphone or audio line-out jack. If you use a standard 3.5mm dual male audio cable, you will need an adapter that allows you to plug the cable into the projector's RCA jack.
Turn on your computer and the projector. Set the video output on your computer to the mirror external monitor mode. This will cause the projector to display the same image that's shown on your computer screen. You can usually use a combination of the 'Fn' key and one of the 'F' keys at the top of the keyboard to cycle through the video options.
