After pressing ROOM STARTUP, wait 30 seconds before selecting the desired source button on the Crestron. The projector will not receive the command to switch until after it has finished warming up.
The projection screen is positioned so that the chalkboard and projector can be used simultaneously. It should not have to be moved, but can be adjusted manually.
The adjustment of volume is done using the Crestron control panel. UP and DOWN buttons are located in lower-right corner of the control panel (see Picture 5 above). NOTE: Computers have their own volume controls which may need to be adjusted separately.
