First of all, connect the voltage transformer to an electrical outlet, then to your console via the power input socket.
Use the power switch to turn the console on.
The first part of this guide will describe how to operate the console when there is no remote control connected.
More information about the remote control will be found at the end of this guide.
Assigning channels is an important feature of your console. Its goal is to match the colours written on the console
to the channels of your projectors.
It also allows you to position the function of your choice onto the two last channels (7 and 8).
You can, for instance, position the Flash function of your projectors onto channel 8.
