INSTRUCTION MAlTim. totheuseofthe
Super 8 mm. projector model 9119/OM
1 Introduction.
la The Fumeo projector model 9H9/OM isa super 8 mm professional project-
or for OPTICAL and MAGNETIC films, equipped with a 200 watt/24 volts
projection lamp with dichroic reflector.
It isa very rugged construction,while accuracy of work and selection
of componentsbringthisprojector tothe sametechnologicallevel of
the best 16mm. projectors.
Its aims accept reels upto750 »*• (2500') film, equivalent to about:
2 hours and30 minuts continuous projection.
Film threading is manual andthe projector canrunin both forward and
reversedirection.
lbThe opticalsoundtrack is readdirectly ona sound drum equippedwith
' a flywheel of morethan 1.2 Kgs; furthermore the soundoptic is parti-
cularlycoated to give the highestperformancealsowithsoundtracks
in colour.
Ic The projector is equippedwith a professionalamplifierhaving a power
'output of undistorted 25 watt r.m.s.; its unique characteristic is the
presence filters adjustable in level,whichacting inthe range ofthe
speech frequencieshelps to improve the intelligibility ofthe words
in halls of pooracoustic.
Bass frequencies canbe increased or decreased +.10 dB atthe reference
frequency of100Hz, whilehighfrequencies can also be varied +_ 8 dB
at the referencefrequency of10 KHz.
2 Preparation ofthe projector.
2a Place the projector ona stand orona suitabletable.
2b Fold out arms 1_ and £ until they get locked; to closesaidarms back
push respectivelybuttons 2^ and "]_ whilepressing the aiaa downwards.
2c Turn,,if the case, knob 12to position of STOP.
2d By means ofthe cordsuppliedwith the machine,connect the mains re-
ceptacle inthe rear ofthe projector, toa suitablemainsoutlet ta-
king care it corresponds tothe operatingvoltage ofthe projector it
self.
2e Turn knob 12 to FWD (forward) andthe drive motor shall run.
Move lever 10_ to makeindication 24 appearingwhenprojectingfilms
which must runat24 frames per second, or indication 18for films ma-
de for. 16or18 fps.
Said operation BftJST BE performed with the drivemotor running.

2f Turn knob lj? tjo L.AMP to alight the projectionlamp,thenopen lid13.
Make a first focussing ofthe projectiongate by turningknob 22;if
the projector is equippedwith a zoomlens,rememberthatrotation of
its external ringproduces a variation ofthe size ofthe projected
image; afterwards a new focussing is required.
For frontelevation ofthe projector rotate knurled knob 14; remember
the filament of the.lamp,when is incandescent, is verydelicate and
can brokenveryeasily;thereforewhen the lamp is alighted,position
the projector^ if: needed, ina gently way avoiding all rough movements.
When all adjustment are made,turnknob 12 back to positionSTOP.
2g Movelever 15 towards "0" oir "M" according tothe soundtrack ofthe
film,being "0"for OPTICAL and "M" for MAGNETIC.
Turnknob MODE ofthe amplifier toOPT when the soundtrack is optical
and the exciter lamp 41 will be switched on.
For magneticsound .track, knobMODEmust be turned to MAG.
2h If requiredplace an externalspeakernear the screen and connect its
plug tothe socket marked SEKR onthe rear ofthe projector.Saidspeak-
er musthave an impedance of4 ohms and accept 25 watts.
Still inthe rear ofthe projector, the switch MONITOR drives an inter-
nal speakerthrough 3 positions: Normal, Low,Off.
3 Film threading.
3a Turnopen lid13; insidethere is reported the threadingdiagram.
3b Push downwardssprocketshoes 18^ and36; swinj, openlensholder _2^.
3c Place the reel of the film onarm Ij unroll about 1 metre of film and
proceed to threadingaccording tothe diagram.
Takecarethatfilmperforationenters the teeth ofthe sprocketbefo-
re pushingback the relativeshoe and that pad23be correctlyposi-
tioned.
The pressureroller of unit 26^ is automaticallylifted up -when knob 12
is on position of STOP, oron REV, oron REV/LAMP.
3d Tiethe leader ofthe film toan emptyreelplaced on take-up arm8.
Note that in FORWARDoperation, said reelrotates inthe clockwise
direction.
3e Takecarethatmetallicbelts be wellplacedaround the pulleys of
their relativearms.
To manuallycheck for properthreading,rotate the motor knob.located
beside arm _8.
4 Projection.
4a Turnknob l£ to FWD takingcare the filmrunsproperly and then to LAMP.
4b Focus the image by means of knob 22; if necessaryreadjust the size of
the image by turning the externalring ofthe zoom lens, ifthe project-
oris equipped wi'th saidtype of lens;thereafter a new operation of
focussing hastobe made.

4c Rotation of knob ^ inone sense orinthe other,willproperly posi-
tion the film frameline respect tothe projectiongate. No displace-
ment ofthe illuminatedarea onthe screenwillhowever ocoiir during
framingoperation. .. ,.
4d Damagedperforation or poorsplices may causeexcessivereduction of
the lower loop; this trouble produces a high instability ofthe pic-
ture onthe screen and loudchattering.
Rapidlypushthenlever 4. whichacting on roller 27 will restore the
lowerloop.
4e AdjustcontrolLEVEL to have a suitablevolume of sound and controls
BASS, TREBLE, FILTER to obtain the bestquality ofthe sound.
4f When the projection is endedturnknob 12 back to STOP.
4g Projection of.film withoptical or magneticsound track:
optical sound: ,
- push lever 13 towards letter "0" (optical)
- pushlever 10 outwards to haveindication 24
- turn knob MODE ofthe amplifier toOPT
magnetic sound:
- pushlever Ijj) towardssign '$!" (magnetic)
- pushlever 10 outwards to haveindication 24for film recorded at that
. speed, or inwards to havesign 18inthe othercase. Remember that the
speed of18fpsis usually used for silent film and anyhow the range
ofthe reproducedfrequencies is reduced.
- turn knob MODE ofthe amplifier toMAG (magnetic)
5 Rewinding.
5a Rewinding is performedwithoutremoving the reels.Just tietheendof
the film tothe core ofthe reel onthe supplyarm,thenturnknob 12
to REVerse.
Remember the supplyreelwillturn nowin counter-clockwise direction.
If the case, the disc ofthe friction ^ canbe tighten a bit more in
order to havebetterfilmrewinding.
5b Rewinding canbe performedeven ifa certainquantity of film is still
left onthe reel:remove the filmfrom the machine and proceed as ex-
plainedabove. Itisnot advisable to operate in REVersewith the film
threaded onthe projector,since it will runat18or24fpsand thus
it willtake too long.
6 Amplifier.
6aThe projector is equippedwith a highlevelprofessional amplifier which
delivers a poweroutput of25 watt nas over 4 ohm load.

Anamorphio lens.
The anamorphiclens isa speciallens which, whilekeeping the height
of the projectedimage atthe samedimension,increases 2 times the
width of saidimage; itis used for film in CIRIMASCOPE.
Introduce the anamorphiclensholder 17inthe guides ofthe relative
bracket, thenfocusimage ofthe filmusingknob 22.
Introduce the anamorphiclens 16inthe holder, as inside as pgssible.
Turn the wholeanamorphiclens to give onthe screen a perfect retangle
whosebase is horizontal,thentighten the lens tothe holder by means
of the relativethumb screw.
Make a finefocussing ofthe image,actingthis time onthe external
ring ofthe anamorphiclens.

8 Reelfriction and brake.
8a Adjustable frictions are assembled on pulleys _^ and £ to have a correct
filmdragwithnoslackening,asfunctionofthesizeofthereels.Keep
the spindle firm with one hand,with the other hand screw or unscrew the
largeknurled nut. Remember if friction istoo tighten, the dragging eff-
ect onthe film mightdamage the filmperforation.
8bIn orader to have the reel nottoo loosen, a brakingeffect canbe appli-
ed on spindles by means of thumbscrews 3a and9a. Saideffectmust bead-
justed toa minimum to avoid excess of work ofthe frictions. The more
said thumbscrews are tighten, the more spindles are braked, the more fric-
tionshave tobe tighten as well.
9 Fusereplacement.
9a DISCOMECT the projector fi^om mains any time a fuse hastobe replaced.
Unscrewcover of fusereceptacle and replaceblownfusewith one having
the same ratingvalue. NEVER puta fusewithdifferentcharacteristics

13THE SOITO SYSTEM.
13aThe sound units, "both optical and magnetic, are Factory set according
to SMPTE specifications, so that no further alignment .is needed.
However, in order to enable a skilled technician, possibly with the
help of proper instrumentation,, to realign or align ina different way
the oound systems, a description ofthe adjustment controls is given
herebelow.
Purpose ofthe alignment isto have the widest frequency range andthe
highest level output. Itis then advisable theuseof proper test film
even if good comme'cial film canbe utilized.
