Connect the optional visual monitor(s) to the monitor out jack on the computer using the cable(s) suggested in the computer and/or monitor’s manual.

Connect a headset to each student communication box, as well as to the MTLC-16 (the jacks are on the left side of the MTLC-16.) Make sure both the “Mic” and “Phones” plugs are inserted.

Install Software

•Power up your Windows® computer; if it is already powered up, please make certain to close all programs, so none are running during the install procedure.

•Disable your computer's virus-protection software

•Insert the self-installing MTLC-16 CD-ROM into the tray of your computer's CD-ROM drive

•Wait until the auto-run program begins to run; it will bring you to the Installation Wizard.

•Follow the prompts; at the end of the process, you will be asked to restart the computer.

•Restart the computer; it is now ready to be used with your MTLC-16 Music Tutor Lab Controller

At this point, you may want create shortcuts on your desktop, so you can quickly open the programs. It is recommend- ed that you create a shortcut for the MTLC-16 program wherever it is most convenient for you: the Start Menu, the Task Bar, or the Desktop itself. You will not need one for either the Visual Music Tutor (V-MT1) or the Virtual Sound Canvas (VSC-88), because these programs are automatically activated from within the MTLC-16 controller software.
