For viewing and listening to source material from a computer, DVD/VCR, or Apple TV

  • Locate the APC device on the second shelf. Press the center On/Off button (red arrow below) to turn on all the devices. It will take a minute or so for the all the devices in the rack to power on.

  • The DVD/VCR remote is sitting on top of the DVD/VCR player. Please return it to this location when you are finished using it.
  • Lower the projection screen using the toggle switch on the wall behind the component rack on the left. The screen will descend and stop by itself at the correct position. Likewise, the screen will ascend and stop by itself when fully retracted.

The remote is in a holder on the black metal cabinet to the left of the computer presentation table. When the projector is powered down, the green LED will blink slowly. When the projector has been turned on, the LED will blink faster. When the projector is running, the LED will be solid. Please put the remote back into the holder when you are finished!

For listening to an audio-only source (no video) from a iPhone/iPad/Computer audio jack
