Yes you can (there are not such thing like hdmi to vga adapter you are mixing orange with apples HDMI is digital while VGA is analog, you may find a converter but that is expensive), there are some cheap adapters "component to vga", the only way to feed HD to the projector is by component wich is an analog signal but it is HD...the VGA connector goes in the projector and then you feed the RCA connectors (blue, red and green) from a Directv receiver, hd tuner, media player, DVD, video game console, some blu ray players have component outputs but the only provide 480p...

Cable Matters Active HDMI to VGA Adapter with Audio Support and USB Power in Black

the only way to hook up anything (other than a pre iphone 5)is to connect via VGA. For this you need a VGA adapter from your device- be it an iPhone 5 or a macbook-AND a VGA to projector cable. And there's the problem, the proprietry VGA to projector cord is almost impossible to get since I bought my projector. Great little device, but I can't get a VGA cable. My advice is locate a cable first, or buy a different model. I am pretty disappointed I bought this, i was pretty excited at the use I could out it to at work and home, but it's instead barely been used.

Wish I could be of help, but no luck here. Since HDMI has been available, I've made several attempts to multi-task with this technology, unsuccessfully. If I remember correctly, one of the reasons for the initial development was to put in place safeguards on content to prevent "pirating" hi-def, with the pressures of the movie studios and replaced component connections. Wish mine were a little heavier, then it'd make a good paper weight. But being no expert, it might seem that for less that 5 bucks, you might have better luck.

Yes, that is the way I am presently using it. Of course you must have a VGA output on your laptop and a VGA input on your projector. Also, set your video card in your laptop to VGA output.

The projector should be plug and play without drivers. Here is a link to the manual https://www.google.com.pr/url?sa=t&source;=web&cd;=4&ved;=0CCUQFjAD&url;=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.projector-manual.com%2Fmanuals%2Fbenq%2FBenQ_MX522.pdf&rct;=j&q;=benq%20mx522%20driver&ei;=q3OyVOi8FoarggSP4oLADQ&usg;=AFQjCNHPcV9u490nhiqN1fB6jjxSUp9s7A. Pages 14 - 16 talk about what to do if the display does not come up right away.

There is a VGA port and USB ports on the laptop. It depends on what type of connector the projector has to determine if you can hook it up to the laptop.

This box converts a VGA signal, such as the video monitor output of a computer, to an HDMI output. As far as I know, it is not meant to go in the reverse direction; you would need to ask the Etekcity folks about that. I am presuming you have a projector with a VGA input but not an HDMI input. It would not surprise me if there are HDMI to VGA converters available, but I have not needed one, so I have not looked for any.

Sorry, I am far from an expert on this. I have been seeking the right way to do this since 3M does not support the product well. I searched a lot of options to find a cable set that would allow this unit to work like a regular projector. The cable set listed here will not work on its own but I am now waiting for a new cable that may take the RCA ends on the product you are asking about and turn that into the VGA end that will take video out of the computer and into the 3M projector. Write back in 2 wees if you want to see if I have been successful.

No VGA, but it has a mini-HDMI. If your projector has HDMI input you will need to purchase mini-HDMI to HDMI cable.

Change your HDMI cable. I have gone through many HDMI cables with this projector. Your cable needs to be in absolute perfect condition, and it can easily get messed up if you ever mess with it (i.e attaching, reattaching, adjusting). Getting a new cable should hopefully solve the problem.

I believe this projector comes with a VGA cable. It depends on what kind of device you are planning on using as your source. We use an HDMI cable to provide signal to this projector. It also accepts a composite signal (RCA video cable).

Hi Vishu, it cannot be plugged in to just any projector for video presentations because you need to run the software on the device where it will be plugged into and there is a system requirements for such action. Please check this link, http://www.belkin.com/us/support-article?articleNum=77880

The projector has its own built in speakers that you can use via hdmi or component. However, the projector doesn't generate sound. If you have a media system like a blu ray or a DVD player, you hook the speakers into that device and hook the video to the projector

You should have either VGA cable or HDMI cable to connect from TV to Projector. I believe you will be having setup box where you are connecting to tv.Check if you have port of HDMI or VGA in setup box so that you can directly connect to Projector instead of connecting from setup box to tv and from tv to projector and for audio out put also there will port from setup box where u can connect to external speaker.

It doesn't have the VGA port. But if you can always use the HDMI. Make sure your computer supports transmitting "sound" to the HDMI port.

I don't really know. I have shown videos with an HDMI cord. It's quite grainy, but then it's only a $60 projector. It does have a USB, AV-IN, VGA, HDMI, and SD card ports. I just bought it to display images for enlarging. I hope this helps.

Don't buy it. I did and it doesn't work. I then knew that it can never work because VGA is an analog sign and HDMI is digital so it is required a converter. I don't know why it is allowed to sell it. Save your money and try something like chromecast.
