preparing for
projection
Setting up the projector
After taking off the dust cover, remove the front
cover of the projector by pulling it outward
while depressing the cover release button. Then
plug the power cord into the receptacle on back
of the projector (making certain that the red dot
on the plug is indexed below the red dot above
the socket), and the other end into a convenient
AC outlet. Remove the takeup reel from inside
the projector cover and put it on the rear spindle
of the projector; lock it into place by flipping
down the plastic keeper.
Positioning the Selective Sprocket
System
IMPORTANT
Before doing anything else, set the selective
sprocket system of the projector into the proper
position for the film you will be projecting:
1. Open the lamp house cover by pulling it out-
ward from the front (projection lens) edge.
2. Open both sprocket shoes by means of the
orange release knobs; pull up on the upper knob
and push down on the lower knob.
3. For Super 8 projection, push in the upper
(red) sprocket shaft. The letter S.will appear in
the indicator window.
4. Forregular 8mm projection, push in the lower
(black) sprocket shaft. The letter R will appear
in the window.
(NOTE: The sprocket shaft must be pushed in
firmly until it seats all the way, at which point
the appropriate letter will be clearly centered in
the window. If the shaft resists, keep pressure
on it while turning the threading knob slowly
toward you, in a counter-clockwise direction.)
5. Close the sprocket shoes
by pushing the
orange release knobs back into their original
positions. The film will not thread unless this is
done.
