Normal Operation

• To watch something, turn the amp on, and the TV
  and/or the projector.
• Select the proper input on the amp via the remote
  control or the front panel. The video for
  projector is set via the remote. The TV will
  track the input on the amp.
• I have turned the aux amp off. Most of the other
  stuff is left on all of the time, so there will
  be lots of blue lights and stuff on in the
  cabinet.
• When not in use, I leave the main amp, tv, and
  projector off and the screen up (hidden).
• I generally use the remote controls for
  everything except the lights and the screen.
