CLEANING. Small amounts of dust and wipe marks are very
noticeable on lens surfaces with a high brightness projection beam but
typically will not impact the image as much as damage from excessive
cleaning in pursuit of a "perfect" optical surface. Occasionally blowing
off the lens surfaces with clean air is the best way to maintain long
term performance. If there is any excessive residue or build-up then it
is recommended that you clean the optics with professional lens
cleaning supplies such as from a camera store while the lens is in front
of the lit beam of the projector. This will allow you to quickly see if the
cleaning process is causing any damage.

IMPORTANT THEATER GUIDANCE
1. Projection screen should be , in the aspect ratio and with a flat 2.4:1
minimum 2.0” screen border.
2. Projector lens center should be between -2 and +6 inches from
the top edge of the screen surface (about +3 inches is ideal) and
horizontally centered on the screen +/- 3 inches.
3. (throw distance divided by screen surface width) should Throw ratio
be at least 1.4:1.
4. of the image is most noticeable at low Edge curvature / distortion
throw ratios so longer throw distances are encouraged. The screen
border should be used to mask edge curvature of about 1.5” at a 1.4:1
throw ratio; about ; with 1” at 1.6:1 progressively less edge
distortion visible as throw ratio increases. If desired, use the
Epson LS12000 “Point Correction” for final distortion adjustments
and then only after finalizing lens setup.“Panel Alignment”

INSTALL THE PROPER LENS RETAINER. Remove the two
front Phillips assembly screws and remove the rear retainer.
Use this retainer for a ceiling-mounted projector. Use the other
retainer provided for a high shelf-mounted projector (see
illustration on reverse). Manually open the projector lens door. The lens
will prevent door closure but this will not harm the projector. Squeeze
the retainer and work it into the projector opening to nest into the inside
rim of the projector housing with .prongs toward the ceiling
PREPARE THE PROJECTOR. Make sure the projector lens is
horizontally centered in its opening (ie little or no horizontal lens
shift). Adjust the projector roll, tilt and/or yaw so the projector
test pattern lines are square to the screen edges and the test
pattern is centered on the screen. Then show a 2.4:1 movie. Use the
Epson “Aspect” button on the remote to select “Anamorphic Wide” and
make sure the projector lens is clean and as dust free as possible.
INSTALL THE CDR LENS. After removing the rear CDR lens
cover, install the CDR lens/mount assembly over the retainer
prongs. The lens may have some rotational play so rotate as
necessary until a stop is felt at which point the lens is vertically
aligned with the projector. Insert and tighten the two assembly screws
to secure ( ).do not over tighten Remove the front protective film.
ADJUST THE LENS TILT AND PROJECTOR SHIFT. Adjust
the projector lens zoom to fill the width of the screen with the
2.4:1 movie. Tilt the CDR lens and adjust the projector vertical
lens shift to make sure the beam is getting through the CDR
lens to fill the screen. There is only a slight variation in vertical image
height with this adjustment but experimentation may lead to the best fit
and geometry. Lock the CDR lens tilt by tightening the single Phillips tilt
lock screw ( ). As desired you may want to apply do not over tighten
additional “Point Correction” and/or “Panel Alignment” at this time (see
Epson manual).
DECIDE HOW TO WATCH 16:9 CONTENT (including menus).
Use the Epson “Aspect” button on the remote to select “Horiz.
Squeeze” to watch 16:9 content in the center of the screen or
select “Auto” to stretch 16:9 content to fill the entire screen.
