1. Installing Sampler Disc 2
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
You require a maximum of 1.7 Mb of free space on your hard disk to
install Quicktime (TM) 2.0, which is required for the Sampler Disc
2 to run. (If you are running a later version of QuickTime, it will
not be replaced by the installer.)
Once you have checked the necessary space is available you
should:
1. Insert the disc into your CD-ROM drive.
2. Double click on the Quicktime Install icon that appears.
3. Follow the instructions to install Quicktime on your
Macintosh
4. When the installation is complete, double click on the
projector icon.

2. General system requirements for running Sampler Disc 2
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
This Sampler Disc has been created using the Macromedia Director
(TM) 4.03 for Macintosh. The minimum Macintosh configuration
recommended for Director 4.03 is as follows:
LC III
4Mb of RAM
CD-ROM drive
14-inch monitor displaying 256 colors
Mouse and loudspeakers or headphones
System 7.01 or later
Please note that the Sampler 2 application is designed to run in
256 color mode for best performance. The application should
automatically switch the screen to the correct color depth if it can
be supported.

3. Running video clips using Sampler Disc 2
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
There are a number of video clips included on the CD-ROM, and
these can be played in three different sizes, although the quality
of each playback will depend on the power of your Macintosh.
The three sizes are:
- small (240 x 180 pixels)
- medium (320 x 240 pixels)
- large (where the 'small' video clip is pixel doubled to
display at 640 x 480 pixels)
We generally recommend owners of LC III (or comparable)
machines select the 'small' option, owners of Centris 610 (or
comparable) machines select the 'medium' option, and owners of
Centris 650 machines or above try using the 'large' option,
(Anyone having problems with the overall quality of the video,
e.g. jerkiness or sound breaking up, should try switching to a
smaller size display.)

4. Running out of memory
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
If the system reports that there is not enough memory to run the
application:
1. Quit all other applications.
2. Make sure the monitor is in 256 color mode.
3. Restart the Sampler 2 application.
