To Turn on the Video Projector:
Find the remote for the Sanyo projector (see image above). To turn the projector on, point the remote at the front of the projector and push the pink "On-Off" button. Do not adjust the sound volume on the projector remote; use the sound system control (see below). Use the "Computer" or "Video" buttons on the remote to select your projection source. To turn the projector off, push the pink "On-Off" button on the remote. At the "Power off?" prompt, press the pink "On-Off" button again.  The projector fan will continue to run until the unit is cooled down; it will shut down automatically.
Note: The slide switch at the bottom of the Sanyo remote must be "on" in order for it to function.

To Turn on & View the Computer:
To use the computer, you will need to press the power button on the computer (inside the cabinet). To project the computer screen, with the projector on, press the "Computer" button on the Sanyo remote to select "computer 1". The switch located on the podium shelf must be turned on and #1 selected (if not, press the "select" button to select it).

To view a laptop:
Connect the VGA cable located on top of the podium to the laptop VGA jack. If using sound, connect the "mini" sound plug provided to the laptop headphone jack.with the projector on, press the "Computer" button on the Sanyo remote to select "computer 1". The switch located on the podium shelf must be turned on and #2 selected (if not, press the "select" button to select it). You may need to press a function key on your laptop to enable the external monitor function (may be marked "LCD/CRT" or with a monitor icon). If using the audio connection, the DVD/VCR must be ON and in VCR mode with "L1" showing on the front display (if it is not, use the channel down button to select "L1")
 

To Play & View a DVD, Videotape, or CD: 
Find the remote for the Sharp multiregion (international) combination CD/DVD/VCR unit. To turn the combination unit on, press the red "Operate" button on the remote. With the projector on, press the "Video" button on the Sanyo remote. Insert your CD, DVD, or video tape into the appropriate drawer or slot. There are separate counters and controls for the VCR and CD/DVD. On the remote, push the "VCR-DVD" switch (at the bottom of the remote: see image above) to the appropriate media type. VCR control functions are labeled in orange and DVD functions in green: white-labeled functions work the same in either mode. To select which media type the projector displays, press the "DVD/VCR Selector" button in the upper right of the remote (see image above). While one media type is playing, you can push the "VCR-DVD" switch to the other media type and key that media in preparation for viewing. [NOTE: This unit will play NTSC (US format), PAL, and SECAM media. However, French SECAM video tapes will only play in black-and-white.] If a cable TV channel is showing, use the channel down button on the Sharp remote to select "L1" to eliminate it.

To View Campus Cable TV: Find the remote for the Sharp combination CD/DVD/VCR unit. To turn the combination unit on, press the red "Operate" button on the remote. With the projector on, use the "Video" button on the remote to select your projection source. You can change channels by using the channel ("CH") up and down buttons or by using the keypad to enter the channel number. Turn the unit off by pressing the "Operate" button.

To Control the Sound Level:
You can control the sound for either the computer or the CD/DVD/VCR unit using the room's sound system. The sound system controller (see image above) is attached to the desktop. To turn the sound system on, turn the knob clockwise. You can adjust the sound level by turning the knob clockwise or counter-clockwise. Be aware. The volume controls on the computer interact with those of the sound system, so adjusting the volume on the computer will change the level of sound from the sound system as well. To turn the sound system off, turn the knob counter-clockwise until it clicks.

Please, turn off all of the equipment before you leave the room.
