> Your projector can project sound and silent films at 18 or 24 fps (frames-per-second).
Films made with KODAK EKTASOUND Movie Cameras are 18 fps. Commercial sound films are
usually 24 fps. The projector's dust cover can be installed and the projector operated with the

operating tips
The perforations in the film should be toward you as the
film comes off the supply reel clockwise. If they are not, the
fXm has not been rewound or was twisted while being re-
wound.
If the picture is unsteady, it can be due to torn perforations
in the film.
If you are not getting any sound while projecting a
magnetic-striped sound film, check to make sure:
Film is wound correctly on supply reel.
Volume control is set at a listening level.
If the sound is distorted, check to make sure:
Speed control is set at the proper film speed (18 or 24
ames per second).
Volume is not too high.
The PLAYBACK HEAD is self-cleaning (see illustration under
"Cleaning Projection Lens," page 10). The movement of film
across the head is sacient to keep it clean.
1 Also, your projector mechanism has bearings that require
no oiling.
replacing lamp
Your projector is equipped with an 80-watt, 30-volt, code
DFE projection lamp with a rated life of 15 hours. It's a good
idea to keep a spare projection lamp on hand. You can pur-
chase lamps from your photo dealer.
If the lamp should burn out during projection, accelerate
lamp cooling by running the projector in the .STILL position.
After cooling, turn off the projector and proceed as follows:
1. Disconnect the power plug from the wall outlet.
2. Grasp the top edge of the LAMP WOR, located at the rear
of the projector, and pull it away from the projector.
3. Pull the LAPKP-RELEASE LEVER toward you. (This releases
the PROJECTION LAMP from the socket.) Lift out the lamp.
4. Install a new lamp (80-watt, 30-volt, code DFE) by hold-
ing it so that the shiny side of the reflector in the lamp is
toward the lens (away from you). Place the center post of
the lamp in the center hole of the socket. Rotate the lamp
slightly until the key on the lamp center post drops in the
socket slot.
5. Press the lamp down all the way.

6. Replace the lamp door by first resting its bottom edge on
the LAMP-ACCESS OPENING; then push the top of the door to-
ward the projector until it snaps in place.
cleaning outside of projector
You can maintain the h e appearance of your projector by
proper care.
Clean the wooden parts of your projector with a goodquality
furniture polish. Wipe the black areas and the dust
cover with a soft, damp, lintless cloth.
cleaning projection mirror
For the brightest, clearest pictures keep the PROJECTION
MIRROR free of dust, dirt, and fingerprints. Clean the mirror
with a soft, lintless cloth or KODAK Lens Cleaning Paper. If
PROJECTION MIRROR
you need moisture, breathe on the mirror surface or use a
drop of KODAK Lens Cleaner on the paper or cloth.
cleaning projection lens
To project a bright, clear picture, keep the PROJECTION LENS
free of dust, dirt, and fingerprints.
If you need to clean the lens, proceed as follows:
1. Remove the take-up reel.
2. Move the mirror to the position shown.
3. Slide the LENS COVER toward the TAKE-UP SPINDLE and
remove the cover.
4. Carefully lift out the PROJECTION LENS. Blow any dust and
dirt from the lens surfaces.
With KODAK Lens Cleaning Paper or a soft, lintless cloth,
gently wipe the front and rear surfaces or use a drop of
KODAK Lens Cleaner on the paper or cloth.
5. Replace the lens by setting it in its housing, moving the
lens all the way to the right; make sure the smaller end of
the lens barrel is facing the supply reel.
6. Grasp the lens cover and place it so that the SPRING CLIPS
on the back of the lens cover line up with the GUIDES on the
lens housing. Then press the lens cover against the lens hous-
ing and at the same time slide the cover toward the supply
spindle. You will hear a "click," indicating that the lens
cover is in place.
NOTE: The zoom lens is removed the same way. To install the
lens, set it in the lens housing as shown, with its front flange
against the housing. Refer to the two illustrations showing
the zoom lens.
