Installing the Optional CineWide Lens Mount | Runco VX-8D guide

Installation

Other 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.

If you are installing a standard (non-CineWide) VX-8d, skip this step and proceed with Mounting the VX-8d(page 28).

If you are installing a VX-8d/CineWide, proceed with Installing the Fixed CineWide Base Plate (VX-8d/CineWide)(page 27).

If you are installing a VX-8d/CineWide with AutoScope, proceed as follows to install the AutoScope lens motor.

1. Do not install the CineWide lens yet, only the fixed CineWide

Note base plate or AutoScope lens motor. You will install the CineWide lens after you install the projector and adjust the primary lens.

2.Some components shipped with your projector may differ slightly from what is shown in these instructions.
