Hold the FN+CRT/LCD or (it could be an icon/image of a screen) simultanesouly and then keep press the CRT/LCD key it should eventually get around to displaying an image on just the projector or projector and laptop screen
You have function key (FN) that you need to hold down while pressing the icon screen key or CRT key depending on the model of your laptop at the same time. If you toggle this 3 times each provides a no image to the projector or an image to the laptop screen or projector and laptop image.
You need to send your laptop signal to your projector by pressing the FN key and the key that says CRT/or an icon of a screen (this is located at the top of your keyboard). 3l toggles will give you different images. i.e. projector image only, projector image and laptop image or just the laptop and not projector image.
with the function button on the laptop and the lcd button, F5 for toshiba, the screen will display both sides. if not then give the details of ur laptop.
My first thought, based on what you said, is for you to check the resolution being sent to the projector...if it's too high,(above the projector's ability to display it) you'll get a distorted or even a blacked-out display. Also, check the settings for the program which is running the DVD. There could easily be an option set incorrectly.
Adjust the screen area of the computer’s display settings to match the projector’s native resolution. Refer to your projector documentation for the optimum or native-resolution setting for your projector model. If you can't find this information or are uncertain, most projectors support a maximum of 800 x 600 pixels.

With certain laptops, you might need to disable the laptop display to obtain the best image, especially when the native resolution of the laptop exceeds the native resolution of the projector.
•
Font smoothing will automatically generate a cleaner font outline, both on your laptop and on the projector. To apply font smoothing, do the following:
1.
In Control Panel, open Display.
2.
On the Appearance tab, click the Effects button.
3.
In the Effects dialog box, select the Use the following method to smooth edges of screen fonts check box, and then select Standard or ClearType in the list.
If the projected image is dimmer than it was on the laptop, check your projector documentation for information regarding lamp timers. If the lamp life has expired, replace the lamp for maximum brightness.
If the projected image is not rectangular, try one or both of the following:
•
Make sure that the projector is perpendicular to the viewing screen.
•
Raise or lower the projector.
If the projected image displays vertical lines, "bleeding," or spots, try one or more of the following:
•
Adjust the brightness of the image.
•
Check the projector lens to see whether it needs cleaning.
•
Adjust the sync and tracking on the projector.
Hi, I have found out that you must have the laptop set to an external monitor, in the control panel, display area, click on 2, then you must have the projector turned on before you start the laptop so it can recognize that the projector is there. Also make certain that you allow the unit to cool off by turning the lamp off, leaving the fan on and open the door where the projection lens is located.
Yes you need to press something on your laptop ...maybe FN +F3 or FN+F4..but after you have image but your projector still turn of...then follow my next comment.
Takecare..
A great deal of the time DVD players are very restrictive on outputting to multiple sources due to copyright protection. In my experience, if you use your laptops function keys to toggle output (For example, on my laptop, I hit FUNCTION + F4 to cycle between LCD,LCD+VGA,VGA), you should be able to disable the laptop's LCD display, only outputting via the VGA cable. It's worked for me with my HP VP6111 and Windows XP in the past.
Hope this helps!
