Troubleshooting:

No picture?:

- Does laptop have power?

- Is data projector turned on? (try starting again, & call x6270)

- is the source button lit for where you are plugged in? (HDMI or VGA)

- Has the LED above where your computer is plugged in turned from amber to green? (If it didn't turn green, make sure the cables are plugged in all the way)

No audio?:

- Is room volume on AV control panel turned up to show 3 lights or more?

- Laptop: Is the volume on the laptop turned up and source selected? (HDMI button for HDMI connection, etc?)

On the audio mixer use the individual source knobs to control the volume.

Make sure volumes on the rack mixer are turned up almost all the way for the source you are using, then set listening volume at the AV Control Panel
(the rack mixer feeds into a line input, and if it is too low, the AV control panel input gain has to be cranked up to noisy levels to be able to hear the signal)

Turn down all unused volume knobs that are not in use.
Return individual source volume knobs the audio mixer to zero when finished.

Please power everything off when done & lock the AV Cabinet

Assistive Listening Procedures

This room does not have integrated listening technology installed, but there is a microphone input jack and XLR or phono plug outputs on the panel.

These can be used to connect an extra microphone and listening equipment, or self-contained listening equipment can be used.

Please work with [Access Services] to coordinate an extended checkout of suitable listening equipment from Media Loan.
