    trigger-activated equipment, connect it to the 12-volt trigger output as shown in 
    Figure 3-14.

    Turning on the Power
    1. Turn on your source components.
    2. Plug the female end of the power cord into the 
    AC receptacle on the rear of the Vision 15 (AC 
    100V ~ 240V). (The Vision 15 ships with various 
    types of AC power cords. Choose the one that is 
    appropriate to your locale.) 
    3. Connect the other end to your AC power source. 
    The power indicator lights blue to indicate that 
    the Vision 15 is in “standby” mode.
    4. Press the ON button on the remote control to 
    turn on the projector. The power indicator turns 
    off.
    5. After a brief warm-up period (approximately 10 seconds), the Vision 15 will start 
    projecting.

    Primary Lens Adjustments
    The Vision 15 gives you a great deal of control over the picture size, position and focus. 
    Figure 3-15 shows the location of the focus and zoom controls; Figure 3-16 shows the 
    location of the lens shift controls. 
    Focus and ZoomTo focus the projected image, rotate the focus ring left or right.
    To make the picture larger (zoom in), rotate the zoom ring to the left (toward the Vidikron 
    logo). To make the picture smaller (zoom out), rotate the zoom ring in the other direction.

    Installing and Adjusting 
    the CineWide Anamorphic 
    Lens
    If you are installing a Vision 15ET/CineWide, proceed as follows to install and adjust the 
    anamorphic lens. 
    The CineWide anamorphic lens mount kit consists of everything shown in Figure 3-17. Some 
    components shipped with your projector may differ slightly from what is shown in these 
    instructions. 
    Figure 3-17. Anamorphic Lens Mounting Assembly - Exploded View
    1. Use the Height/Pitch Adjustment Screws (2) and Washers (3) to attach the Lens 
    Mounting Bracket (5) to the Anamorphic Lens (1).
    2. Remove the nut and rubber collar from each Swell Latch Assembly (4). 
    It is extremely important that the primary lens is properly adjusted 
    before you install the anamorphic lens. Ensure that the image from 
    the primary lens is perfectly centered on the screen. Note

    3. Secure the lens (with the mounting bracket attached) to the Lens Base Plate (6) using the 
    swell latches. 
     
    Adjusting the Lens Height and Angle: 
    1. Project a white field on the screen.
    2. Loosen the four Height/Pitch Adjustment Screws just enough to allow vertical 
    movement of the lens assembly.
    3. Slowly move the anamorphic lens into place so that there are no shadows on the top or 
    bottom of the screen:
     
    4. Then, adjust the anamorphic lens angle so that the projected image is rectangular:  
      
    The anamorphic lens will almost always be angled with respect to the projector; this is 
    normal. 
    5. When the height and angle are properly set, tighten the Height/Pitch Adjustment 
    Screws to secure the lens in place. 
     
    To avoid clipping the corners of the image, position the anamorphic lens 
    as close as possible to the primary lens. 
    There may be some pincushion distortion even after the lens is properly 
    adjusted, especially at shorter throw distances. If this is the case, Vidikron 
    recommends that you slightly over-scan the image into the screen frame 
    area to mask the distortion.
