Nancy Drew: Secret of the Scarlet Hand Hints
How can I set the recordings to the exhibits?
1 of 8: Have you found the controls for setting the recordings?
2 of 8: The AutoNarrator has 15 covered panels lettered A through O that can be opened. Not all of the recordings are wrong, though, so don't make any changes until you have more information.
3 of 8: There are 15 recorded messages for 15 of the displays. Ten of those have already been programmed. There are only 5 left for you to do ... but which ones?
4 of 8: A former employee's notes will make it easier on you.
5 of 8: Sonny left his notebook behind in his (now your) desk.
6 of 8: Flip through the pages until you find his notes and sketches about this task. The displays that correspond to each letter of the alphabet are shown there.
7 of 8: The ones that are wrong are: A, C, D, G, and J.
8 of 8: The solution below will help you with THIS puzzle, but it will not save you from having to study all of the exhibits. You will be referring to the displays often as you come upon more puzzles.
