The one that works best for most presentations is :guilabel:`Presentation Lighting`. If you need more lighting, be careful not to washout the screen as many lighting options make it hard to see the presentation. .. image:: _images/systemconfig.jpg :scale: 40% :align: center :alt: Inside Projector 4.

Follow steps 1-5 under the section `Theater start-up <#theater-start-up>`_. 2. When you reach step 5, select ``BLURAY`` on the rack unit near the soundboard. 3. Press the button in the top right-hand corner of the player to open the tray and insert your desired disk. The video should begin playing on the main projector. 4. Use the Blu-ray remote (The one labeled 'SONY' and 'BD') to navigate the disk's menus. The arrows and speaker icons on the right-hand side of the IPad control volume. 5. Shut down the theater using the steps from the <#theater-shutdown>`_ section. ~~~~~ Troubleshooting --------------- 1. No picture: If the screen keeps flashing blue or black, unplug the power from the device with two purple network cables on the bottom shelf of the podium then plug it back in. This symptom is caused by a failure in the HDMI handshake. To prevent it from happening, turn off power-saving features of your laptop. 2. No sound: Make sure the sound board is turned on in the control room. 3. Other problems or questions: Contact AV support `avtraining@cs.uky.edu` or call 71839.
