7 LAPTOP VGA Laptop Connection This room is equipped with an autoswitch that detects when a device is connected to the laptop VGA cable and routes the audio and video signals accordingly. To connect a laptop computer: 1.) Plug the VGA cable into the VGA port on your laptop and, if audio is desired, plug the 1/8 stereo cable into your laptop s headphone jack. If your laptop does not have a VGA port, contact Tech Support for further assistance. Also, some laptops require proper configuration to utilize an external display. To configure your laptop accordingly, please refer to the instructions provided by your manufacturer. 2.) Once the autoswitch has detected the laptop, the projector should display the laptop s video feed on the screen. Disconnecting the laptop VGA cable will restore the PC s video feed to the projector. If using sound, please note that the audio signal follows the video feed. Connecting to the Internet: Many classrooms are equipped with an Ethernet cable allowing for wired internet access. It is advisable to use a wired connection whenever possible. Wireless internet connections are also available in most classrooms.
