Need Help with Translating to English Labels on an Equipment

[kriket]

Hi there. Can somebody help me translate to English these symbols on our equipment?

 

Hope somebody can help.

Sure, I'll have a crack. I deal with classroom consoles like this every day.

 

Left-hand side, starting from top

 

影碟机 - DVD player
录像机 - VCR
展台 - Booth/ Stand/ Stage? *
卡座 - Cassette/ Tape deck

 

Right-hand side, from top

上课 - Start class (probably lowers the screen etc.)
下课 - End class
台式电脑 - Desktop computer
数字展台 - Digital booth*
手提电脑 - Handheld computer/ laptop - this is probably the important one, if you want to plug in a VGA cable to a laptop and display on a screen, you need this one.

 

I think the other buttons are probably all clear for you? Let me know if not

 

*This one I'm not sure about, because I don't know what's connected to the computer exactly. Maybe some booth/ stand/ display area? Someone better versed than me can tell you, I'm sure.

Wow, than you so much Michael!

 

So this unit is used in classrooms? I work with a technical company and somehow the owner got hold of this unit and have been trying to figure out how to make this unit work.

 

Can you please help me with the back of the console? Did we label it correctly as input and output?

 

Thank you for your time, thank you again in advance!

Well, you commonly see equipment similar to this in classrooms for connecting a laptop or computer to an OHP or speakers, for example. But there's no reason it would have to be.

 

You have identified input and output correctly (that's what is written underneath the red sockets. The other buttons say

 

Audio Input                       Output

 

Desktop computer             IR1

Laptop                               IR2
