5. These controls only operate the equipment in the control room and are of • little or no concern if you are piloting your own presentation.

6. After you select a component, you need to direct the system as to which side you want the image/information to go; left right or bot. This differs from other presentation set ups on campus wherein you simply select the component and it appears on screen. * • THERE ARE TWO WARNING SCREENS THAT ASK IF YOU ARE SURE YOU WANT TO SHUT DOWN.

7. Audio Feed The second, or most recently selected component, will be the audio feed. If you select the PC and send it to the right screen, and then select TV Tuner and send that to the left, the audio feed will come from the TV Tuner.

13. Trouble Shooting • The wireless mic isn’t picking up the lecturers voice. Check the GAIN dial on the side of the pack and turn it clockwise • There’s no audio after selecting a new source. The most recent selected source is where the audio feed will come from. For instance, if you have selected TV for both sides and then select PC, there will be no audio from the TV as it was not the most recently selected. To solve this, re-select TV and select the same side that it is already on.
