INSTRUCTIONS ANDTIPS FORTHE INSTALLATION
OF THE HC 37.53 MODEL CINEMA MIRROR
GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS FOR ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION
CONSIDERATIONS
Cinema Mirror is an active optic set to be
installed in false ceilings hiding the
projection equipment, and that through
a pulsation it opens a floodgate of
335x335 mm., allowing the projection of
the image, thanks to its two mirrors,
without causing the trapeze effect on the
image. For that, Cinema Mirror and the
screen must be in the same plane or with
a difference from 0 to 12 cm. (Fig. 1).
Always be sure to perpendicularly set the
projected light with the projection screen,
any difference may negatively affect the
image (Fig. 2).
The optic mirrors of this equipment are
protected by a plastic film to avoid
accidents. Remove this film when it is
indicated by this manual.
Do not do so beforehand.

INSTALLATION
PROCEDURE
Cinema Mirror has been built with the
knowledge of technical ceiling features.For
this reason,it has leveling supports (see Fig.
3 Detail 9) that adapt to the“T”ceiling profiles
and allow you to install it without the use of
tools.
If the ceiling is made of plaster, wood,glass,
etc. and it does not have profiles, adapt a
HC 635 model ceiling frame kit. An
aluminium profile designed to adapt ceilings
to Cinema Mirror and give access to the
interior of the ceiling (see accessory page).
Order it from your distributor.
BEFORE PROCEEDING TO INSTALL
The area where Cinema Mirror will be
installed,next to the projection equipment,
will support an extra weight. Reinforce the
perimeter next to the installation area (Fig.
4) with the accessories recommended by
the manufacturer.
CHOOSE THE PLACE OF THE
INSTALLATION
The projectors do not have the same focus
distance.If you do not know the optic data
of the projector ready to be installed proceed
as follows.
Place the projector on a table. Connect the
electric current to the projector and switch
on the projection equipment. Leave it for a
few minutes so that the projector reaches
its maximum brightness.
Keeping the zoom control in the maximum
opening, bring the equipment closer to, or
move it further away from the test wall that
you have chosen until obtaining the desired
screen - image width. In this case, measure
the distance between the lens and the image.
Put the zoom in the minimum opening,and
move the projector away until obtaining the
same screen width than the obtained in the
previous paragraph, and measure the
distance between the lens and the image.
Calculate the focal distance with the
following formula:
The average optic centre determines the
distance and the place to install the projector
and in consequence Cinema Mirror.
You can get bigger precision if you deduct
20 cm of the journey from the projector lens
to the active lens.

INSTALLATION
Remove the 6 screws that secure the table
to the Cinema Mirror chassis.
Secure the variable position table, with its
screws,in the best place so that the projector
rests on its support feet.
Place the projector on the variable position
table horizontally centred relative to the
passive mirror.This will be its working place.
ADJUSTMENT OF THE PASSIVE
MIRROR
To centre in height the passive mirror, (Fig.3
detail 6),in relation to the lens of the projector,
remove the screws that hold it to the chassis
and move them up and down so that the
centre of the mirror stays at the centre of the
lens of the projector.Tighten firmly, but not
to strong,the axis of the mirror to the holes
of the chassis, to make possible an ulterior
adjustment of the axis.
Place the graded plate supplied with the
equipment on the Cinema Mirror profile
(Fig.6).
The passive mirror should be placed to 37º
in relation to the base of the projector.Please
turn the passive mirror up so that the angles
between the mirror and the template
coincide in parallel.Fasten strongly the screws
of the axis of the passive mirror.
UNPACKAGING AND PROCESS OF
ASEMBLY
Open the box of the Cinema Mirror and take
out the protection butt plates.
Take out the plastic covers.
Take out the rubber of protection of the
floodgate of the active mirror.
Place a fabric table cloth on a board, table,
bench, etc. to protect and take care of the
paintwork on the equipment gate.Separate
the bevel from the gate and leave it ready
to be installed later in the ceiling finish.Leave
Cinema Mirror on the table cloth.
Projectors do not always have the optic
in the same place; it can be to the left,
centred, or to the right.
For this reason, Cinema Mirror is equipped
with a tray called variable position table
(Fig.5).
The variable position table has 5 positions:
1centred, 2moved to the left, 3moved to
the right, 4turned 180º and centred, and 5
turned180º and to the right.

Now the height of the chassis can vary and
can be levelled with the roof. To level them,
please unfasten the screws of the leveling
supports which holds the chassis and screed
the latter to the same height of the surface of
the roof.Fasten again and strongly the screws.
ATTENTION PLEASE! The motor system
(active door) is not prepared to carry heavy
loads, as for example, parts in wood, cork,
glass,etc.,that one might want to install on
the door as decoration items.
If you desire this,try to modify the finish,by
painting or imitating the painting by means
of a very thin foil,to be able to integrate the
finish of the door of the Cinema Mirror to
the roof decoration in which it is installed.
Install the projector on the variable position
table.
·Placetheprojector optic as close to the
passive mirror as possible.
·Placethe projector optic centred relative
to the passive mirror.
NOW CINEMA MIRROR IS
READY TO BE INSTALLED
IN THE CEILING
INSTALLATION IN THE CEILING
Remove the plate that coincides with the
projector focal distance from the technical
ceiling and leave it aside for its use later on
the final finish of the ceiling.
If the ceiling is made of stucco, wood, glass
etc, install the HC 635 ceiling frame kit
beforehand;Four“T”profiles to be assembled
with its accessories so as to facilitate the
perfect decorative finish of the ceiling.
Insert the Cinema Mirror with the optic
mirrors facing the place where the projection
screen will be installed.Place the chassis onto
the“T”shaped profiles of the technical roof,
(or the HC 635 frame Kit ),and make coincide
the 2+2 leveling supports of the chassis
(Figure 3, detail 9) with the technical roof
profile.
IF THE INSTALLATION IS NOT EQUIPPED
WITH A WORKABLE TECHNICAL CEILING,
BUILD YOUR OWN SPACE USING THE
HC 635 MODEL CEILING FRAME KIT.

·Placethecontrol lever on the upper part.
·Activatethe motor with the installed push-
button.
·Observe the image that is projected on the
screen. To lower the image the control lever
should be moved downward. The motor
actives and positions the active door as
desired.
·Repeat this operation until reaching the
desired image height.
ATTENTION.
If the whole image is not represented on the
projection screen,this may be due to the fact
that:
•The projector zoom is closed.
•The projector is very near the passive mirror.
•The active mirror is excessively closed.
Correct these differences.
The image may not be parallel with the
projection screen base due to height
differences between the place of installation
of the screen and that of the projector (Fig.
7A).
In the connecting rods that move the active
mirror, (Fig 3 detail 8) there is a connecting
rod-active mirror regulation screw that
corrects the defect.If you want to lift the image,
move the connecting rod screw of the place
affected upwards. (Fig.7B)
Remember the adjustment elements that you
have to obtain a cinema image.
1.- Projector zoom and focus.
2. - Vertically adjustable feet,in the projector.
3. - Trapeze correction, manual, automatic or
electronic,in the projector.
4.- Passive mirror turn.
5.- Active mirror movement
6.- Horizontal image control in the connecting
rods.
7. - Left / right movement of the projection
screen (only some makers)
8.- Regulation of the height extension of the
projection screen.
HOW TO ADJUST THE
IMAGE TO THE SCREEN
ATTENTION – DANGER !!
Take out he rubber that blocks the door
during the transport (if you have not already
made it), before triggering the movement
pushbutton of the active mirror gate,make
sure that there are no obstacles hindering
its opening or closing.Do not make any effort
to stop or help the active mirror gate in its
path, the mechanics of the motor can be
seriously damaged and the warranty of the
product will be lost.
If you observe any defect, this may be due
to the handling or lack of care during
transport of Cinema Mirror. Contact your
distributor's technical service.
Activate the button for opening or closing
(not included) on the Cinema Mirror. The
motor of the active mirror will be put into
operation.
Remove the film that protects the optic
mirrors during transport and pre-installation.
Switch on the projector and wait a few
minutes so that the projector reaches its
maximum brightness.
The light or image thrown by the projector
through the active mirror determines the
place where the projection screen should
be installed.
Remember that you can work on the
projector zoom to fix the screen width.
Install the projection screen guided by the
light spectrum thrown by the projector. If
you use a screen with black side margins,
the image will be better profiled;as television
sets do in their cathode ray tubes.
INSERT A VIDEO OR PC SIGNAL IN
THE INSTALLED PROJECTOR
The control lever of red color regulates the
position and opening of the active mirror
(Fig. 3 detail 2) and consequently, the
projection height on the screen.

Place the bevel on the marks A and B, and
draw the contour lines.With a cutting tool
remove the space that must be occupied by
the gate.
The installer should locate his working
position in the square of the technical ceiling
plate, adjacent to the Cinema Mirror
installation.
Move the Cinema Mirror-projector set as
much as is necessary to install the modified
technical plate.
Place the Cinema Mirror-projector set in the
space chosen.
Lightly press the bevel pins outwards and
adjust them to the gate.
Check the light-image on the screen.
Provide the finishing touches to the ceiling
finish according to the characteristic
requirements of the space.
FINAL FINISH OF THE CEILING
Once we are definitively satisfied with the
image obtained,we will proceed to close the
ceiling with the same material used by the
maker of the technical ceiling. If you use
other materials, try to use materials with a
very low weight.Consult the possibilities of
painting or masking of the material used for
a correct simulation with the original ceiling.
ATTENTION PLEASE! The motor system
(active door) is not prepared to carry heavy
loads, as for example, parts in wood, cork,
glass,etc.,that one might want to install on
the door as decoration items.
If you desire this,try to modify the finish, by
painting or imitating the painting by means
of a very thin foil,to be able to integrate the
finish of the door of the Cinema Mirror to
the roof decoration in which it is installed.
Take the measurements in which the gate
was located with the frame,measurements
A and B (Fig 8). Mark the measurements A
and B on the technical ceiling plate
(60x60cm), (or replacement material).
figure 8
MAINTENANCE
The mechanics and mobile parts of the
equipment don't specify of a severe
maintenance, but if it is convenient the
application of a lubricant in the mobile parts,
with a minimum periodicity of 90 days.
Revise the electric installation and its
connections, likewise revise the anchorage
from the unit to the roof.
The optic lenses will clean with non abrasive
cloths, using neuter soaps or simply with
common water.
