Welcome to Your Smart Classroom! The Smart protocol for classroom technology is designed to make using computer, video, CD, and DVD playing as easy as possible. Please, do not hesitate to address questions about the Smart classrooms to Library & Information Services. We can be contacted via E-mail (helpdesk@dickinson.edu), telephone (x1000), or by visiting the Help Desk on the lower level of the Waidner-Spahr Library.. Denny 21 Smart Equipment

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" and "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.

To Turn on & View the Computer:
To use the built-in computer, you will need to press the power button on the tower (inside the cabinet). Once the computer has completely booted-up, you can access programs like PowerPoint, Word, and Internet Explorer by clicking the icons on the screen. To project the computer screen, with the projector on, press the "Computer" button on the Sanyo remote to select "computer 1". When you are done with the computer, click the "Start" button in the lower, left-hand corner of the screen. Then choose "Shut down." If you need to use a different computer with the projector, please contact Library & Information Services (x1000) for assistance.

To use a laptop:
Connect the cable provided to the VGA jack on the laptop. With the projector on, press the "Computer" button on the Sanyo remote to select "Computer 2". 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).
  Please note: if using the network cable provided, be aware that it is on the faculty ("ACAD") network. Your laptop must be configured with the proper IP address settings for that network. Contact the helpdesk in advance for help with network settings.

To Play & View a DVD, Videotape, or CD: 
If the DVD/VCR is not already ON, first turn it on with its power button. With the projector on, press the "video" button on the Sanyo remote. Insert your CD, DVD, or cassette into the appropriate drawer or slot and press the "Play" button on the LG remote. You may need to select the appropriate mode with the DVD or VCR buttons. If a TV channel is showing, you can eliminate it by selecting "L2" input (located below channel 2 - use the channel down button)To switch between VCR and DVD, press the "DVD" or "VCR" buttons on the remote. To eject your disc or cassette, press the "Open/Close" button.
Note: This unit will play DVD's from all regions of the world. It will only play NTSC (US format) VHS tapes however.

To View Campus Cable TV: With the projectors on, press the "video" button on the Sanyo Remote .You can change channels by using the channel ("CH") up and down buttons or by using the keypad on the LG remote to enter the channel number.

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.

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

Thank you,
The Staff of Library & Information Services
