Identify the correct input number for your device connection and select it.
Wall plate Connections
The wall plate for video and audio inputs is on the right corner of the stage.
Necessary cables to connect a device can be found in the AV Cabinet Drawer. (Note: If someone took it or left it plugged into the ports, it won’t be in the drawer.)
HDMI input is #6 on the switcher. This connection will send video and audio.
VGA input is #7 on the switcher. VGA only transmits video. (Note: You will also need the 3.5mm audio cable connected to your device in order to project with sound.)
Note: Refer to the switcher guide above to make the Active selection for the correct connection.
DVD Player
Turn on/off by pressing the power button on the DVD remote.
Choose input #8 on the switcher to project.
Continue using the DVD player as usual.
Note: Turn the projector off before turning off the DVD player. The projector will display a black screen if you turn off the DVD player first, making it easier to forget to turn off the projector.
Using the Projector
Turn on: Press the power button on the remote once. Wait for the projection to load. This step may take a minute.
Make sure the correct input has been chosen on the video switcher in the cabinet.
Connect the appropriate cable to the device via the wall plate on the right corner of the stage.

Disconnect your device.
Return the cables and projector remote to the AV Cabinet drawer.
