The MWAH 191 equipment cabinet key may be requested by departments or by faculty teaching in this room.
Classroom keys and building master keys do not open these locks. Departments with faculty or staff needing access to the AV /computer equipment may want to have a key in their department office available for checkout. Or faculty and staff who make frequent use of classroom equipment may want to request a key for their personal use. In either case, a key request card must be completed, signed by the Dean or Department Head, and delivered to Facilities Management Key Shop. "AV Cabinets" must be printed at the top of the card to specify that the requested key is for the equipment cabinet and not for the room itself. A separate key request card for the room must be completed to obtain a room key.

The lighting controls are located by the exit.
The projector provides the best picture quality and brightness in a dark or dimly lit room. You might want to experiment to find the best lighting option for your purposes. It is best to adjust the lights after you have started so you can more easily see the operating controls. Restore the room lighting when you are finished.
Press the eject button to remove your tape.
Press the power button to turn the VCR off.
To turn the projector OFF press the STANDBY / ON button.
The following message will be displayed on the screen

The message will disappear by any operation or by no operation for five seconds. If you are sure you want to turn off the projector, press the STANDBY / ON button a second time within that five second time slot. The projector lamp is extinguished and the lamp cooling begins. The unit will shut itself completely off shortly.
