INSTALL THE DCR LENS RETAINER.
Remove the two front
Phillips assembly screws from the lens/mount assembly and
remove the rear retainer (it comes loosely assembled).
Squeeze the retainer to fit into the projector lens opening and
then relax it so that it nests into the inner rim of the opening with the
prongs level and the gap downward.
PREPARE THE PROJECTOR.
Make sure the projector lens is
horizontally centered in its opening (ie little or no horizontal lens
shift). Adjust the projector roll, tilt and/or yaw so the projector
test pattern lines are square to the screen edges and the test
pattern is centered on the screen. Then ...
Show a 2.4:1 movie
. Set the Sony anamorphic lens menu setting to
1.24X
and the Aspect mode to
V-Stretch
. Make sure the projector
lens is clean and as dust free as possible.
INSTALL THE DCR LENS.
Remove the rear DCR lens cover.
Tilt the DCR lens/mount assembly to insert the bottom mount
tabs through the bottom retainer gap and behind the projector
housing rim. Then tilt the assembly back and over the retainer
prongs. Remove the front protective film; rotate the assembly so that
any visible edges of the movie appear the same on the left and right;
then insert and tighten the two assembly screws (do not over tighten).
ADJUST THE LENS TILT AND PROJECTOR SHIFT.
Adjust
the projector lens zoom to fill the width of the screen with the
movie. Tilt the DCR lens in its mount and adjust the projector
vertical lens shift to make sure the beam is getting through the
DCR lens to fill the screen. There is only a slight variation in vertical
image height with this adjustment but experimentation may lead to the
best fit. Lock the DCR lens tilt by tightening the single Philips tilt lock
screw. As desired you may want to adjust any panel alignment in the
projector (see Sony projector instruction manual).
DECIDE HOW TO WATCH 16:9 CONTENT
. The “classic”
mode to watch 16:9 content is to set the projector anamorphic
mode to
Squeeze.
However,
V-Stretch
,
Normal or 2.35:1
Zoom
will better fill the full cinema format screen with 16:9 with
various tradeoffs worth exploring. Note that menus are always created
in 16:9 so some type of switch from V-Stretch will be necessary to
show complete menu content.
