Kodak Carousel 850H Operating instructions

Congratulations on the
purchase of your new
Kopak Carouset 850H
Projector. You enjoy the
luxury of automatic
operation or remote-
control operation.
Throughout projection,
your slides are kept
in sharp focus by an
automatic control
—whether you show
single slides, trays of
slides, or stacks of
slides with the optional
Kopak Carouse- Stack
Loader.
More Information—
After reading this manual,
if you have questions
about the use of your
projector, write to

Before you start to use your new projector—learn these basic safety
precautions. Keep them in mind whenever you handle or operate the
equipment.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
1. Read and understand all instructions.
2. Close supervision is required when any appliance is used by those who
may not understand the need for the following precautions:
e Care must be taken as burns can occur from touching hot parts. Allow
the projector to cool before replacing the projection lamp or cleaning
lenses.
© Do not operate an appliance with a damaged cord or if the appliance
has been dropped or damaged—until it has been examined by a
qualified service technician.
e Be careful to place the electrical cord where you, your family, and
your guests will not trip on it.
e If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with a suitable current rating
should be used. Cords rated for less amperage than the appliance
may overheat.
e Never yank the cord to pull the plug from an outlet. Grasp the plug
and pull it to disconnect it.
e This instruction manual contains directions for replacing a worn-out
lamp and for cleaning the projector lenses. With these exceptions,
do not disassemble the projector. Incorrect reassembly can cause
electric shock hazard when the projector is used subsequently.

Projection-Lamp Tips
e Your projector is equipped with a HIGH-LOW
switch—use of the LOW position gives lamp
life up to three times as long.
e Rough treatment of the projector may dam-
age the projection lamp.
e Allow for unrestricted flow of air to the in-
take vents on the bottom and side of the
projector, and the exhaust vent at the rear.
e Projector operation on line voltages above
120 volts greatly reduces the lamp life.
e Unplug the power cord before changing the
lamp.
SETTING UP
POWER AND REMOTE-CONTROL CORDS
Place the projector, bottom side up, on a table. Slide the latch on the
CORD-COMPARTMENT Door in the direction of the arrow marked OPEN. Open
the cord-compartment door and remove the remote-control cord. The
power cord is permanently attached to the projector; slide it into the slot
in the cord-compartment opening. Then close and latch the door. Turn
the projector upright.
Plug the remote-control cord into the remote-control socket at the rear
of the projector. The small dot on the plug should be upward when the
plug is in the socket.
Plug the power cord into a suitable electrical outlet. Your CAROUSEL
Projector operates on 110- to 125-volt, 60 CPS (Hz) alternating current
only. (If you plug your projector into a different electrical source, the
projector may be damaged.)
SCREEN AND SEATS
Because slides may be square, horizontal, or vertical in format, a square
screen is usually most convenient. It should be large enough for easy
viewing by everyone present. If possible, your projector should be at the
same level as the center of the screen.
For easy viewing, your audience should not be farther from the screen
than six times the longer dimension of the projected image. See the
chart listing projector-to-screen distances on the next page. Place the
seats as close as possible to both sides of the beam thrown by the pro-
jector. The picture appears most brilliant and lifelike when you are
seated near the projected beam.

SLIDE TRAY
Furnished with your projector is the KoDAK CAROUSEL
TRANSVUE 140 Slide Tray. This tray is made of a translucent
material which allows you to see the slide-identification
numbers on the tray without turning on the room lights.
It holds 140 slides in 2 x 2-inch cardboard or thin plastic
mounts (not glass or metal mounts) up to Xs inch thick.
Since this tray was designed to hold as many slides as pos-
sible, the slide compartments in the tray are quite narrow.
For this reason, your slide mounts should be in good con-
dition. Mounts which are warped or bent may fail to drop
from the tray into the projector. (If this happens, straighten
the mount with your fingers or place the slide in a new
mount, such as a Kopak REapy-Mount.)
Clip off all mount corners that are frayed. Do not at-
tempt to project slides mounted with loose or sticky tape.
As the tray revolves, the number of the slide being pro-
jected will be opposite the gate index on the projector.
LOCK RING
(Additional slide trays can be obtained from your
dealer; see page 14.)
LOADING SLIDE TRAY
Check the bottom of the tray to make sure the INDEX HOLE is
opposite the INDEX NOTCH. If it isn’t, slide the LATCH in the
direction shown by the arrow, and turn the bottom plate
until the index hole points to the index notch. Then release
the latch.
Remove the Lock RING from the tray by turning the ring
in the direction of the arrow marked UNLOCK; then lift off
the ring. Insert a slide in each slot in the tray, with the top
of the picture down. The printed border, or trademark side,
of each cardboard-mounted slide—or emulsion (dull) sur-
face of a slide mounted in plastic—should face the next
lower number. For example, the bordered, trademark (or
emulsion) side of slide No. 2 should face toward slide No. 1,
No. 3 toward No. 2, etc.
Replace the lock ring, turning it in the direction of the
arrow marked LOCK until the ring is secure on the tray.

PLACING SLIDE TRAY ON PROJECTOR
Place the loaded slide tray on the projector so that the hole
in the center of the tray fits over the center post on the top
of the projector; then turn the tray slowly in a cloekwise
direction until the TRAY INDEX BAR is opposite the GATE INDEX
on the projector. The tray will drop down into operating
position on the projector. If the tray does not drop easily
into place, check the alignment of the index hole and the
index notch as described under ‘‘Loading Slide Tray’’ on
page 7.
NOTE: The tray will drop farther down on the
projector during the first change cycle.
PROJECTING SLIDES
Turn on the projection lamp by sliding the POWER SWITCH to
HIGH (300-watt illumination) or LOW (255-watt illumina-
tion). Briefly press the FORWARD BUTTON on the projector or
the FOR (forward) button on the remote control to put the
first slide in viewing position.
ELEVATION
To center the projected image on the screen vertically,
elevate the front of the projector by turning the ELEVATING
WHEEL. If the image is not aligned horizontally, an adjust-
ment may be made with the LEVELING FOOT.
FORWARD AND REVERSE BUTTONS
FORWARD and REVERSE BUTTONS, located on the side of the
projector, control the direction in which the tray rotates.
GATE INDEX
FORWARD
BUTTON ELEVATING WHEEL
POWER SWITCH

Briefly press the forward or reverse button to change
slides in the desired direction. You must press the reverse
button firmly.
FOCUS
Let the projector warm up for about 30 seconds. Focus for
maximum sharpness at the center of the screen image by
rotating the Focus KNoB. You will need to focus only the first
picture if all slides are in the same type of mount.
Under special conditions—for example, when you are
projecting slides in intermixed types of slide mounts—you
may need to readjust the focus manually.
To demonstrate extreme focus changes, place card-
board-mounted slides in the tray with every other slide in
backwards. You can see the action of the automatic focus
system by watching the movement of the focus knob or by
watching the screen image.
NOTE: A matte-surface (write-on) slide or a mount with-
out film can cause the focus motor to run continuously.

AUTOMATIC TIMER
The automatic timer has four settings—M (manual), 5, 8,
and 15 (seconds). Set the AUTOMATIC-TIMER SLIDE for the
number of seconds you desire and the projector will change
slides automatically. Set the automatic-timer slide at M
for manual operation. (You can interrupt the automatic op-
eration at any time by use of the forward or reverse button
on the projector or on the remote control.)
REMOTE CONTROL
The remote control has both FOR (forward) and REV (re-
verse) buttons for controlling the direction in which the
slide tray rotates. Briefly press either the forward or the
reverse button to change slides in the desired direction.
You must press the reverse button firmly.
IMPORTANT: If you do not press the reverse button
firmly, the tray may rotate in a forward direction.
