USING THE PROJECTOR FOR TV/DVD/VCR OR LAPTOP PRESENTATION

TURNING ON AND OFF THE PROJECTOR 1) Turn on the projector by pressing the ON button once. 2) The projector may chime and make a momentary noise. After about 15-30 seconds,

projection will begin. 3) Pull down the screen completely. The projector has been placed to display exactly within the

borders of the screen. 4) Turn off the projector by pressing the OFF button twice. Although the projection will seem

to cease after only one press, it will be in Stand-By mode and will continue to burn the projector bulb. ALWAYS PRESS TWICE TO TURN OFF.

5) Turn the projector off when it is not being actively used, such as during lunch, planning

period, or other class activities. 6) Always turn the projector off before going home each afternoon. Although there is a factory

setting that will turn off the projector at 5:00pm or 9:00pm, the bulb life will be reduced by burning unnecessarily.

7) Each bulb should last for 2000 hours. Replacement costs are currently $250. Use wisely.

the display set up. You may need to tap the F4 key more than once. Each tap of the key will toggle from showing the display only on your laptop to showing it only on the projection screen to showing it on both laptop and projection screen:

TO DISPLAY THE TV OR SHOW A DVD OR VIDEO 1) Turn on the projector and pull down the wall screen: 2) Turn on the DVD/VCR/TV tuner by aiming the remote at the tuner and pressing the Power

button. The display will be a series of zeros and then a HELLO message will appear on the tuner display:

3) Press the “Show DVD/VCR/TV” button once on the Wall Pad: 4) The screen should display our television information channel (Channel 2) and might also say

“Video - No Disc” or “No Disc.” 5) To select the DVD player or the VCR, aim the remote at the tuner and press the Drive Select

button. You will be toggling between these two modes: 6) Place the DVD or VHS tape into the tuner. The DVD or VHS tape may automatically start to

play. If not, use the remote to control it. Remember to aim toward the tuner, not the screen or projector.
