3.3.2 Manually Adjusting the Lamp Position
The individual X-Y-Z Lamp Position buttons, each of which moves the lamp in one axis only, are provided as
a reassuring back-up should the
Do Auto
button fail or if you feel the manual, operator-assisted lamp
optimization results in greater output or improved brightness uniformity. Either measure your results with a
light meter at the lens and screen or simply watch the light output gauge in the Intensity column of the
Advanced Setup: LampLOC Setup
window.
NOTE:
These buttons may attain a slightly higher peak than
the Do Auto button, but the peak may not be centered on the lamp curve and lamp performance may not be
optimized. Also, the Do Auto
button utilizes filtering to eliminate the effects of any lamp flicker. In general, use
the individual buttons only when you feel it is unavoidable.
Obtain peak readings on a light meter centered in front of the lens and then at the center of the screen. For each
button, continue in one direction and then back up or reverse when the reading begins to decrease.
NOTES: 1)
This is an optional procedure—use the light output gauge in the
A
dvanced Setup: LampLOC
Setup window if preferred.
2)
After performing LampLOC
™
(Do Auto), brightness uniformity may also be
improved on some lamps by manually adjusting the z-axis motor control. In some instances, this may cause a
reduction in overall brightness.
1. Display a 100% white internal test pattern.
2. Use a tripod to center the light meter with the lens. The distance from the lens does not matter. You may
need an attenuator or wish to construct an internal foil aperture first.
3. Adjust forward/aft (Z) until the brightness reading in front of the lens is maximized.
4. Adjust left/right (X) and up/down (Y) until the brightness reading in front of the lens is maximized.
5. Repeat Steps 3-4 as necessary.
6. Repeat Steps 3-5, but reading at the screen instead of at the lens.
7. Reset Lamp Power or LiteLOC
™
if desired in the
Advanced Setup: Lamp Power / LiteLOC Setup
window.

Yellow Notch Filter (YNF) Alignment
UV goggles are required when operating the projector without covers.
The angle at which light passes through YNF affects the final color of light arriving at the light engine, which
in turn affects color accuracy in projected images. By carefully adjusting the YNF angle while using a
spectrophotometer to measure the CIE 1931 color coordinates of a full green image, you can obtain the precise
green color coordinates that are crucial for producing accurate colors in the final display. Adjust the YNF
whenever it is moved or replaced, or when a new IOS is installed.
1. Set up a spectrophotometer, such as the SpectraScan PR650, as the image in the theatre.
2. With the projector lid removed, display a full green field.
3. Measure the green coordinates.
4. Locate the adjustment screw on the center of the YNF frame and adjust until the following coordinates are
reached:
X = 0.265 (+/-0.02), Y = 0.690 (+/- 0.02)
