Kaufman 159 Smart Equipment

Remote Controls for Equipment
MediaLink Controller Samsung DVD/VCR  

Basic instructions
The MediaLink controller on top of the podium can be used to turn the projector on and off, select input sources, control the DVD/VCR unit, and set volume (The remote controls should only be needed in the event advanced functions are required). You can also blank the image with the "pic mute" button and the sound with the "audio mute" button. If the image from the computer is cut off on the screen, press the "auto image" button and the projector should adjust it. Please note that in the event buttons are pressed with the projector off or the DVD/VCR mode is changed not using the MediaLink, the controller may "get out of sync" with the actual conditions. In most cases it is only necessary to press the appropriate button again on the MediaLink (even if it is already illuminated) to restore function.

About the Sympodium
This unit allows you to draw over the computer image using either an attached pen or your finger. There are many functions available. Please refer to the manual provided for instructions. If not using these features the button at the top of the unit with an arrow symbol should be lit for normal mouse function. If it is not, press that button to enable it.
