Main Hall

Switching off ... important, so it comes first

• Always, first thing - put the projector into STANDBY with its remote control
• Eject any discs
• Turn off the DVD player(s) and the audio amplifier
• If the HDMI cable has been used hang it on back wall in a plastic loop
• Turn off the power at the wall switch
• Put the screen away.
   

Basics

• The projector is controlled from the Lighting Room, as is the electric-drop screen.
• It can be used in conjunction with DVD players that are in place, or with a laptop.
• Laptops can be positioned at the rear of the Main Hall: there is an HDMI cable that runs from the Lighting Room. Laptops that do not have an HDMI output will need a special adaptor - this must be requested in advance.
• The DVD players should not be moved.
• Loudspeakers are mounted at the stage-end of the hall.
• The present system does not work with BluRay players unless physical adjustments are made so we need to know in advance if that's needed
• Never change any wires or plugs, please.
   

Setting up - general

• lower the screen : there's a white remote control on the wall - if it doesn't work the plug behind stage curtains (right) may be out
• power the cinema equipment using the FAR RIGHT power switch
• ... on the wall - just above the worktop in the lighting room
• use the projector's remote control to turn it on
  - point at the projector of course - not at the screen or the DVD player
• turn on the player(s) and the amplifier ... no amplifier, no sound !!!
   

When using a Laptop

• carefully unwind the HDMI cable that's suspended on the rear wall near the shelves & drape it down into the Hall - if that's where the laptop's to be controlled
• ensure that it is securely plugged in to the bottom socket of the selector switch which has a blue lamp - it's fixed to the shelves in the lighting room
• press the switch's selector button to get the blue light to the bottom

• volume control is via the amplifier - which needs to be on, of course
   

When using a DVD player

• ensure that the blue-lamp HDMI selector switch is set to receive from the player by pressing the button until the blue lamp sits near the right-side position
• turn on the sound amplifier with volume control turned down, by pressing the square button - a red light illuminates
• control the play from the DVD player (it has a remote)
• control sound with the volume knob on amplifier

• there is an HDMI cable link between the first and middle windows
  - and there's a power supply there too: including a switch for the projector
• use projector's remote control to turn it on
• laptops or other devices that do not have an HDMI output will need a special adaptor - this must be requested in advance.

Switching off

• Then - always - put the projector into STANDBY with its remote control as the FIRST power-down action
• Unplug your laptop's connections
• LAST - turn off the power to the projector at the wall switch
