Connecting a laptop to the TV

An HDMI connection is required.

Locate the silver NEC TV remote and turn the TV on.
Grab the provided HDMI cable from the wall hook. Plug one end into your device, and the other end into the port in the wall.
Make sure your device is on and sending video.
The TV has an auto-input function and will automatically switch to connected devices as long as they're turned on and connected. If it switches away from your computer, turn off your device's power save and monitor sleep functions (look in your device's settings or control panel).

What is HDMI?

This is the name of the connection we support. Here's what it looks like:

Is the cable plugged into your device all the way?
Is the cable plugged into the port in the wall plate all the way? Sometimes people unplug it and don't plug it back in!
Is your device video output actually enabled? (On Windows computers, try pressing the Windows key on the keyboard and the letter "P" at the same time, and choose "Duplicate")

Turn off your device's power save and monitor sleep functions (look in your device's settings or control panel)

Your device is going to sleep or losing connection with the TV. Disable any power save and monitor sleep modes and make sure cables are plugged in completely.

Make sure your device is not trying to use its internal speakers.

Once you're positive that your device is sending audio, grab the TV remote and press the "Audio Input" button on the lower right. A status blurb will appear on the upper right of the TV when you press it. Try pressing the button multiple times to cycle through the various options until you hear your device's sound:

Point the remote towards the right side of the screen. The sensor is by the power light.
Find a staff member and we will help you get new batteries. (Batteries are replaced regularly, so this isn't typically necessary.)
