elaineharrison76011,
If you have all the connectors connected from the laptop to the projector you can press the F8 key on the computers keyboard.
- Auto Source — Select Off (the default) to lock the current input signal. If you press the Source button when the Auto Source mode is set to Off, you can manually select the input signal. Select On to auto detect the available input signals. If you press the Source button when the projector is on, it automatically finds the next available input signal.
Thank You,
Dell-Jesse1
