Bedford Info for Yu

Amenities

Wifi

Fast wifi. The wifi network is The Rainforest. The password is: thereisanothersky

… which is the first line of an Emily Dickinson poem🔗

It should be fast and good to go.

Sound System

Wired speakers in the living room and the bedroom. Once you’re on the wifi network, you can connect to them via Airplay. Speaker system is called Ghost Town.

Projector

There’s a movie projector on top of the bookcase. Turn it on and off by gently tapping the power button on the top. Be very gentle so as not to move the projection angle of the projector.

Remember to turn off the projector when done.

Apple TV

Projector is connected to Apple TV, which has all the streaming services. Apple TV network is called Foreign Correspondents Club.

There’s an Apple TV remote. Using the Apple TV remote, you can connect to the speaker system, which again is called Ghost Town. Change “temporary audio output” setting. (Due to a design flaw in that generation of Apple TV, there’s no way to change the default audio output to play over Airplay, so you may have to change it yourself.)

Bedroom TV

There’s a 65-inch Ultra HDTV in the bedroom. Network is called Camera Obscura if you want to Airplay to it.

By the bed there’s a Roku TV remote for the TV.
