Vidikron Vision 70 Series Owner’s Operating Manual 13 PREL IMINARY 3.1 Remote Control To install batteries in the remote control, push the battery cover and slide it off. Install the two AAA batteries with the correct polarity and then replace the cover. Notes on Batteries Make sure that the battery polarities are correct when installing the batteries. Do not mix an old battery with a new one or different types of batteries. If you will not use the remote control for a long time, remove the batteries to avoid damage from battery leakage. Notes on Remote Control Operation Make sure that there is nothing obstructing the infrared beam between the remote control and the IR receiver on the projector. If the effective range of the remote control decreases, or it stops working, replace the batteries with new ones. The remote control may fail to operate if the infrared remote sensor is exposed to bright sunlight or fluorescent lighting. Ambient conditions may possibly impede the operation of the remote control. If this happens, point the remote control at the projector, and repeat the operation. The Ø icon appears on the screen when you press a button for an unavailable function. 3Installation

Installation Vidikron Vision 70 Series Owner’s Operating Manual 15 PREL IMINARY 3.3 Installation Considerations Proper installation of your projector will ensure the quality of your display. Whether you are installing a projector temporarily or permanently, you should take the following into account to ensure your projector performs optimally. Installation TypeChoose the installation type that best suits your needs: front or rear screen, floor mount or inverted mount. Table 3-2 compares these various installation methods. Ambient LightIn general, minimize or eliminate light sources directed at the screen. Contrast ratio in your images will be noticeably reduced if light directly strikes the screen, such as when a shaft of light from a window or floodlight falls on the image. Images may then appear washed out and less vibrant. Table 3-2.

Installation 16 Vidikron Vision 70 Series Owner’s Operating Manual PREL IMINARY Throw DistanceThrow distance is the distance measured from the front of the projector to the screen. This is an important calculation in any projector installation as it determines whether or not you have enough room to install your projector with a desired screen size and if your image will be the right size for your screen. You can quickly estimate the throw distance by taking the width of the screen and multiplying it by the lens throw ratio; see Figure 3-1. The result of this calculation tells you roughly how far back the projector should be positioned from the screen in order to project a focused image large enough to fill the screen. Figure 3-1. Estimating Throw Distance Table 3-3 gives the throw ratios for the Vision 70, Vision 70/CineWide and Vision 70/CineWide with AutoScope. ➤ Table 3-3.

Installation Vidikron Vision 70 Series Owner’s Operating Manual 17 PREL IMINARY Vertical and Horizontal Position Proper placement of the projector relative to the screen will yield a rectangular, perfectly-centered image that completely fills the screen. Ideally, the projector should be positioned perpendicular to the screen and in such a way that the lens center and screen center are aligned with each other, as shown in Figure 3-2. Figure 3-2. Projector Placement Vertical Lens ShiftIf it is not possible to align the projector and screen as shown in Figure 3-2, you can use the projector’s lens shift (LENS) controls to center the image on the screen. Vertical lens shift is generally expressed as a percentage of the screen height, as shown in Figure 3-3. Figure 3-3. Vertical Lens Shift (EXAMPLE ONLY) Height Projection DistanceCeiling Ceiling Installation Screen Height Floor Lens Center Projection Distance Floor Installation Lens Center x Lens Center x ScreenLens Center 50% Height Lens Shift (0.5 x H) 100% Height Lens Shift (1.0 x H) Screen Center0% Note: This is a general example of lens shift. Lenses vary in their shift capabilities. No particular lens or projector is used in this example.
Installation 18 Vidikron Vision 70 Series Owner’s Operating Manual PREL IMINARY The Vision 70 provides up to 40% of vertical lens shift above and up to 50% of vertical lens shift below the screen center. For example, with a 96 x 54-inch (16:9) screen, you can shift the image up to 21.60 inches (0.55 meters) above or 27.00 inches (0.69 meters) below the screen center. Folded OpticsIn rear-screen applications where space behind the projector is limited, a mirror may be used to fold the optical path, as shown in Figure 3-4. The position of the projector and mirror must be accurately set. If you are considering this type of installation, contact your dealer for assistance. Figure 3-4. Folded Optics Other ConsiderationsOther considerations and tips that can help improve your installation: Keep the ambient temperature constant and below 35°C (95°F). Keep the projector away from heating and/or air conditioning vents. Changes in temperature may cause drifts in the projector circuitry, which may affect performance. Keep the projector away from devices that radiate electromagnetic energy such as motors and transformers. Common sources of these include slide projectors, speakers, power amplifiers and elevators. ➤ Screen Mirror ➤
