Before Use
Be sure that the nature of your electric supply, its voltage and frequency
are compatible with the specifications of your projector.
Should you find it necessary to adjust the voltage setting on your unit
this can be done in the following way.
Remove back cover of projector after loosening the four fastening
screws.
1. Pull out the red plug on the transformer in an upward direction,
and replace it in the appropriate socket.
(To change the frequency (only possible in special projector models)):
2. Pull out the blue plug and replace it in the appropriate socket.
3. Adjust the lever at the top right in such a manner that the
required frequency value is legible horizontally.
Finally replace the back cover.
Adaption for Standard 8 projection
1. Release the pressure guide of the feed sproclet and the take-up
sprocket and remove the light grey sprocket drums.
2. Insert the dark grey sprocket drums, making sure that they click
into position (rotate them a little if necessary) Close the pressure
guides. Pull the lens forward a little.

Replace the dark grey film pressureplate.
6. Remove the light grey reel adapter from the front reel support,

For Super 8 projection the dark grey parts must be exchanged again for
the light grey parts.
Beforehand, knob 3must be turned so that red dot is in TOP position
Projection
Splice a sturdy leader strip of ample, length to the beginning of your
film. Make a straight cut through the front end of the film. The cut of a
Super 8 film must pass through a perforation hole, the cut of a Standard
film must pass between two perforation holes. For the faultless
functioning of the automatic film threading facility, the film must be
neither strongly buckled or bent.
1. Connect the projector to the mains. (The pilot lamp comes on.).
2. Swing out the reel supports.
3. Place the full reel on the front reel support. (The perforation must
be facing toward you.)

Place the provided special take-up reel on the rear reel support in such a
way that it is firmly fastened. (The film length indication marks must be
facing toward you).
Wrongly spooled films (contrary to our illustration) must be rewound
twice to correct the error.
Height Adjustment
Raise the projector by the front end of the carrying handle until it is
inclined at the desired projection height. Rotate knob 1toward the left.
(Support foot slides out.) Rotate knob 1toward the right. (Support foot
is fastened in position.)
Still Picture Projection
2Turn the central switch to “still picture" (ev. adjust focusing). A heat
filter protects the film. (The image will be slightly less brilliant.)
Should the shutter cover the gate, turn knob 2. Turning this knob with
the fingers means that frame will follow frame on the screen as still
pictures.
Reverse Projection
Set the central switch to "Reverse Projection'. The film will now be
shown in the reverse direction. (Make frame line adjustment, if
necessary.)
Film Loop Adjustment
(With projector running in either forward or reverse direction.)
Faulty spicing or badly damaged sprocket holes can cause a shortening
of the film loop either before or after the film gate. (The running noise
becomes louder). Should this occur, the pin 4should first be raised and
then the key 5should be pressed. This restores the normal film loop.

Never touch the projection lamp with bare fingers; every finger-print will
burn into the quartz lamp, thus diminishing the light output. (Should you
inadvertently touch the lamp with bare fingers, immediately clean the
lamp with a clean cloth moistened with alcohol.)
Centring the projection lamp
Direct the projector towards the screen, turn the central switch to
"projection with lamp" and focus the frame-line sharp.
