The perforations in the film should be toward you as the
film comesoff the supply reel clockwise.If they are not, the
fXm has not been rewound or was twisted while being re -
wound.
If thepictureisunsteady, itcan
be duetotornperforations
in the

If you are not getting any sound while projecting a
magnetic
- stripedsound film, check to make sure:
Film is wound correctly on supply reel.
Volume control is set at a listening level.
If the sound is distorted,check to make sure:
Speed control is set at the proper
film speed (18 or 24
ames per second).

Also, your projector mechanism has bearings that require
no oiling.
replacing lamp
Your projector is equipped with an 80 - watt, 30 - volt, code
DFE projectionlamp witha rated life of 15 hours. It's a good
idea to keep a spare projectionlamp on hand. You can pur
-
chase lamps from your photo dealer.
If the lamp should burn out during projection, accelerate
lampcooling by running the projector in the.STILLposition.
After cooling,turn offthe projector and proceed asfollows:
1. Disconnect the power plug from the wall outlet.
2. Grasp the top edge of the LAMP WOR, located at the rear
of the projector, and pull it away from the projector.
3. Pull the LAPKP-RELEASE L E V E R toward you. (This releases
the
P R O JE C T I O N L A M P from the socket.) Lift out the lamp.
4. Installa newlamp (80 - watt,30 - volt, code DFE) by hold -
ing it so that the shiny side of the reflector in the lamp is
toward the lens (away from you). Place the center post of
the lamp
in the center hole of the socket. Rotate the lamp
slightly
until the key on the lamp center post drops in the
socket slot.
5. Press the lamp down all the way.
