Teaching Station Instructions - Humanities Building (MHRA)

This page is only for rooms 1304, 3207, and 3209 in the MHRA building. These rooms have special setups. All other rooms in MHRA use the control pad interface. If you are needing these instructions please refer to the previous page.

These three rooms include a portable kiosk with a DVD/VCR player. There is no teaching station. They are intended primarily for viewing video or using a laptop. Because there is no teaching station all connections are mounted on a wall plate at the front of the room. The projector remote controls the inputs, laptop or DVD/VCR.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Q1 - How do I turn on the projector?
