GETTING STARTED

Are you using the DVD/VHS or do you need a remote KEYBOARD or MOUSE?

If so, then get the key from the main office to open the media cabinet.  In the cabinet is the DVD/VHS unit.  On the door is a keyboard and in the drawer is a mouse and remote for the DVD/VHS. In the PC slot on the left side of the laptop is a presentation remote (with a laser pointer). Instructions for the remote are on the wall above the laptop.

PICK YOUR SOURCE:

(This will turn on the projector)

  • For DVD/VHS press “VIDEO”
  • For COMPUTER press “PC” (choose source from control marked Laptop)
    • For the podium laptop, choose source 1
    • For the long black video cable, choose source 2

FOR DVD/VHS:

  • Press power
  • Select Device (DVD or VHS)
  • Insert Media, press play
  • Adjust volume on the wall controls

FOR COMPUTER:

  • Turn on the computer using the power button power button
  • Log in using your BU login and password (please be patient, as it will take a minute or two to set up your profile)
  • You will have access to all SSW network resources you normally have.  You may also insert a CD/DVD or a flash drive
  • Adjust volume on the wall controls.  If you are having volume trouble, see the volume controls on the bottom right corner of the screen.
  • Log off when you finish using the computer (be sure to save any work to an external source, as it will be erased otherwise).

FINISHED? Please turn off the projector by holding down either the VIDEO or PC button.

TROUBLESHOOTING

If the projector is on, but not showing the computer, try pressing VIDEO then PC.  If that doesn’t work, then try pressing Fn + F8.  This toggles the display.  Pause 10 seconds after trying this, and if it doesn’t work, try again.  There are three different modes, so try doing it two more times to see if it will work.
