Operation

Reinserting the Lens

To reinsert the lens, push the focus knob up and position the lens gear teeth on the lens barrel with the notch on the projector.

Using a Dissolve Control

One of the more common uses for a dissolve control is a simple two-projector fade. This feature fades down the light beam in one projector, while changing the image and fading up the light beam in the other projector. This eliminates a dark-screen interval.

When using a dissolve control, you need to divide your slides into two trays (odd- and even-numbered slides).

The dissolve control has two connectors that plug into the remote-control receptacles in the rear of two projectors. Refer to your dissolve-control operating manual for additional instructions and features.

See your dealer in Kodak products for more information on Kodak dissolve controls.

Shutdown

To shut down,

•remove and store the tray

•slide the power switch to off

Your projector will remain warm for several minutes.
