Here are some tutorial tips:

Adjusting the volume if using audio from computer, VCR, or DVD
Operating the projection screen
Using the VCR or DVD
Setting computer resolution
Connecting to Ethernet
Turning on the system power and projector
1. Press the Power Contol button.
Note:
The projector needs time to cool down before it can be re-activated. If you press the ON button while the projector is cooling down, the red warm-up indicator will flash. When the projector has cooled down sufficiently, the green indicator will illuminate and the projector will automatically turn on.
The SmartPanel is programmed to turn the projector off if there is no activity for four hours.
Turning on the system power provides power to each of the following items
Notice that the system has two LED indicator lights:
- Green (ready indicator)
- Red (flashes to indicate that the projector is warming up)
- Select desired input (laptop, DVD, or VCR) for projector using selection button.
Adjusting the volume if using audio from computer, VCR, or DVD
1. Make sure the system power is on.
2. Press the up arrow to increase the volume and the down arrow to decease it.
The volume level is graphically indicated by the LED lights at the right edge of the SmartPanel.
Operating the projection screen
1. Use the projection screen switch to lower the screen.
The screen switch is usually located to the left or right side of the blackboard/screen area a the front of the room. Some rooms require that you hold the button down while the screen lowers; others require that you press the button only once. The auto stop feature keeps the screen from descending too low or rising to high.
Using the VCR or DVD (also see manual)
1. Make sure the system power is on.
2. Lower the screen to the proper level.
3. Make sure the room is properly dimmed.
4. Select the VCR or DVD by pressing the button under the "VCR" or "DVD" label.
5. Insert the tape or DVD into the VCR or DVD.
6. Use the Play, Stop, Fast Forward, Rewind, and Eject buttons to control the VCR or DVD.
7. Adjust the volume as needed in the upper right corner of the SmartPanel.
8. When you are through, eject and remove the tape/DVD, and turn the SmartPanel power off.
The VCRs in most classrooms play VHS and S-VHS tapes only. The VCRs DO NOT support PAL, SECAM, C-VHS, Hi-8, 8mm, or any other formats.
Most VCRs and DVDs do not come with a remote control, although remotes are available upon request.
Setting computer resolution
The resolution (i.e. fineness of detail) at which your computer image is projected depends on the particular Mitsubishi projector (XL25U or XL5950LU) in your classroom. Supported resolutions are:
- 640 x 480
- 800 x 600
- 1024 x 768
- (1280 x 1024 with compression, which may cause image quality compromise)
To set the resolution on a Macintosh (OS X 10.x), click System Preferences in the Dock and choose Displays. Select 1024 x 768 and close the window.
