HELPFUL HINTS ON SLIDE PROJECTION
The screen
is a decisive factor in determining the quality
of your projected images. A tensioning device
taking creases out of the screen is very desi-
rable. Larger screens mean greater impact.
The larger the screen, the more impressive the
projected image.
»
Select a large-enough screen - about 1.5
m y 1.5 m for home projection. Screens of
1.8 m
x 1.8 m to 3 m x 3 m are suitable for large to
very large rooms.
»
Set the screen up vertically (and parallel
to the front of the projector). The center of
the screen should be at the same height as
the projection lenses and about 25 cm above
the audience‘s eye level.
In very large rooms alignment is easier if
you tilt the top of the screen about 5 - 10°
towards the projector.
In small rooms it may be helpful to set up
the projector in an adjacent room and project
through an open door.
NOTE:
The table on pages 68/69 gives screen sizes
and projection distances for different lenses.
Standby/Pause
At the start of a show, the first two slides
have to be moved into the projector from the
magazine before the first fade-in. The cor-
responding delay can be avoided only if the
slides are moved into position beforehand.

.
The first two slides are loaded into the pro-
jector.
Fade-in will follow only when the green for-
ward button is pressed the next time. The
»timer« LED will blink during waiting.
The forward commands may also be given
by the sync-pulse generator or the computer.
Standby operation is also possible if a discrete
slide in the magazine is to be accessed direct-
ly via the keyboard.
During projection in the manual mode (timer
disabled), the slide show may be interrupted.

To do this, press the »stop/go« button,

followed by the green forward button.
The current slide fades out, and the pause
light comes on.
