Installing and 
Adjusting the 
CineWide Anamorphic 
Lens
If you are installing a CineWide-equipped projector, proceed as follows to install and 
adjust the anamorphic lens. 
The standard RS-1100/CineWide uses a prismatic-style anamorphic lens. This type of 
lens compresses the height of the image (as opposed to stretching the width) to achieve a 
2.35:1 aspect ratio with a 1.78:1 display device. 
The RS-1100 Ultra/CineWide...

Configure Lens Motor Trigger: CineWide with AutoScope maintains constant image 
height independent of the aspect ratio, while using the full display resolution of the 
projector. It accomplishes this by moving the anamorphic lens in front of the primary lens 
when widescreen material is being viewed. When the viewer transitions back to 16:9 or 
4:3 source material, the anamorphic lens moves out of the light path.

pincushion distortion. To do this, loosen the Pitch Adjustment T-Screws (directly below 
the Height/Y Adjustment T-Screws) on either side of the lens to allow it to pivot freely. 
Then, adjust the anamorphic lens angle so that the projected image is...
