Preparation for projection o Set up your projector and screen properly. For steady projection, place the projector on a sturdy support at right angle to the screen. Making sure the master control power switch is at OFF, connect the built-in power cord, which is stored in the top side receptacle of the projector, to the AC electrical outlet. Pull up the feed reel arm and take-up reel arm to maximum stop position.
Install the take-up reel 240m (800ft.), which is stored on the rear of the projector, on the rear reel spindle. The reel capacity of the projector is max. 600m (2,OOOft.). Also install the feed reel on the front reel spindle. At this time, be sure to set the reel in correct position by turning down the reel locks. Set the M-O switch in accordance with the film to be projected. Set it to M position for magnetic sound film and 0 position for optical sound film, respectively.
Film threading O Hold the tip of the film leader between thumb and index finger then pull the leader first through the slot-in roller, next over the No.1 and No.2 rollers and finally over the tension roller. Slot-in roller 6 Threading guide No.1 Threading guide No.
