To set up a slide projector, one will need the correct equipment. Generally, one will need to connect the projector to a laptop or computer, then turn on the projector.
Slide projectors are considered "old technology", but if you have slides and a projector, showing them would emphasize that you and your dad predate PowerPoint. And that's not a bad thing.
Vintage slide projectors can most likely be found at a local Pawn Shop. If one cannot find a Vintage slide projector as their local Pawn Shop, good places would be to look on Ebay, or Craigslist. People can be offering these projectors.
An overhead projector is used to project an image of a transparency onto a wall or screen by means of an overhead mirror. There are also "slide projectors" that are used to display photographic slides on a wall or screen. A "projector" or "digital projector" would be used similar to a computer monitor or a television screen that would display an inputted image from a variety of sources (blu-ray player, computer, laptop, dvd players, game console, etc.). In the case of a projector the image is projected with the help of a light apparatus shining through a small silicon ship and projected through a lens to create an image on your wall or projector screen.
If you have a projector TV then it would depend on it's connections. A PS3 will connect with an HDMI to a HDTV projector style TV with a HDMI input with the single cable. If you are not talking about a Projector style TV this may not be possible If your projector has an HDMI input and HDMI passthrough, it would be better to go from the ps3 to the projector and then pass through to the tv.
The VGA cable that you would use to connect a laptop to a projector screen is called a PS2 projector cable.
Sounds like a broken switch.
Projector replacement lamps can be purchased from many websites. These websites include, but are not limited to Projector Central, Projector Lamp Experts and the auction website eBay.
on a high powered setting the course adjustment knob would move the slide up and down too quickly to be able to work properly. the course adjustment knob should only be used on low power settings
Yes one to use would be the Hitachi Projector Remote Control
There are many websites that provide DIY projector plans, But none offer a way to repair a Projector Lens. I would look into how much it is to replace the Lens or the projector all together.
If the concave mirror is missing in a projector, the light rays from the light source won't be properly focused onto the screen. This would result in a blurry and distorted image being projected, as the concave mirror is responsible for directing and converging the light rays to create a clear image.
As light travels through a convex lens (used in most slide projectors), the light and slide image are turned upside-down. Therefore, in order to appear correctly on screen, the image must enter the lens upside-down, which would then be inverted by the lens to appear right-side up. **** Furthermore, they are reversed left to right. What applies to the vertical holds true for the horizontal. The above holds true for any type of slide projector that performs similar to a Kodak carousel. However, the cube projector (Bell & Howell?) was different because the image bounced off of a mirror before going through the lens. I believe those slides were inserted into the cube right side up, but backwards (left to right), but I'm not sure.
