Using the DVD player and VCR

- Insert your DVD or videotape into the player (Do not forget to select the source, according to what
you are watching)

(You can also plug in a video camera. However, to do this you must request a remote control from ITS before your class).

- To control the DVD or video, use the Media Link Controller (these are the same functions as on your home DVD remote control).

Note that if you are using a MAC, a video adaptor is required (ITS cannot provide this).

- You may have to send the display from your computer's screen to the projector by pressing the
Fn+F4 or Fn+F8 keys (depending on your laptop brand).
