1.        Don’t turn on your computer yet!  Get the computer video cable out of the drawer in the equipment rack and plug one end into your laptop’s video jack and the other into the jack labeled “PC” on the wall plate to the right of the projection screen.

 

2.        If you need network or internet access, hook up the Ethernet cable from the drawer to your laptop and to the Ethernet jack on the column (the one with the red dot is active).

 

3.        If you need sound from your computer to come out of the room’s PA system, hook the audio cable from the drawer to your computer and to the audio jack on the wall plate marked “PC AUDIO”.  Turn on the amplifier in the rack and control the volume by adjusting the dials marked “MASTER” and “PC AUDIO” on the equipment rack (and with the volume control on the computer).

 

4.        Push the “DATA 1” input select button on the projector remote.

 

5.        Now turn on your computer.  The computer image should automatically come up on the projection screen.  If it does not you’ll have to access your computer’s video control panel and manually turn on the signal to the projector.

 

 

IMPORTANT!!!   When you are done:

 

1.      Turn off the video projector with the remote control.  You should realize that even though the projector lamp has turned off, the projector cooling fan will remain running for approximately 30 seconds.  This is normal.

3.      If applicable: return all remote controls to the drawer in the equipment rack.

4.      If applicable: unhook all the cables from the computer, coil them up, and return them to the drawer in the equipment rack
