YOU have chosen a EUMIG sound movie projector because you are moving with
the times and are no longer content with silent films. Your selection of an H.Q.S.
unit (High Quality Sound top performance in magnetic sound films not only
provides the features of simple and straightforward projection and sound
recording, but also offers a supreme sound experience.
The Mark S 8100 LUX H.Q.S. is designed for those who require the utmost
optical performance and light output in a movie projector.
The high class exceptionally fast f/1.2 'Suprogon' zoom lens with Its 12.5 - 25
mm focal length range plus the ideal design of the lighting system yields about
35% more light flux on a 44% larger screen area than H.Q.S. models with the
standard 15-30 mm f/1.3 lens at the same projection distance.
Carefully read the notes on the following pages; they will help you to get
considerable pleasure from adding a further dimension to your films, after all
you have acquired a sound projector because you are no longer prepared to
make do with silent movies.

Before connecting to the mains supply
The voltage and frequency of your projector must match those indicated on
your mains supply meter.
a) Voltage
If the mains voltage does not match. unscrew the fixing screws A, remove the
back, pull off the red plug Btowards the left and attach it to the correct terminal,
Some supply systems are liable to carry temporary overvoltage’s which can lead
to premature projection lamp failure. Where this arises, it is best to adjust the
projector to the next higher voltage setting (for instance 230 volts Instead of
220 volts), This also extends the burning life of the lamp while slightly reducing
the light output.
b) Frequency
The frequency setting can be changed only on the special version of the
projector. To do this, pull off the blue plug C and attach it to the correct terminal.
Move the lever D so that the appropriate frequency indication appears
horizontal.
c) Transport Lock

For safety in transit, the motor is secured in its central position by two
restraining screws E. Before you first connect the projector to the mains these
must be removed (unless already removed by your projector supplier).
Changing film gauges on the Mark S810D H.Q.S. & Mark S810D
LUX H.Q.S.
Normally EUMIG multi-gauge projectors are supplied ready for showing Super-8
film. They are however easily converted to projecting standard-8 film.
Proceed as follows:
1Remove the lamp house cover.
2Open the sprocket guards pull off the film sprockets and replace by the
alternative sprockets fitted inside the lamp house cover, Push on to
engage, turning the sprocket if necessary, then close both sprocket
guards.
3Turn the milled knob at the back of the projector to bring the dot to the
top. (This retracts the claw to prevent damage.)
4Fully move the lens forward with the Focusing knob, push the film
pressure pad towards the lens and pull out.
5Push the film guide towards the lens, carefully withdraw and replace
by the alternative guide Eheld inside the housing. Push the guide in
fully, then press to the left to engage the guide pins. Replace the film
pressure pad 5by the alternative pad D
6Fit the light grey adapter sleeve over the reel spindle for Super-8 and
single-8 projection.

Automatic threading
The film automatically threads itself through to the take-up reel core. An
ingenious system automatically sets the correct the picture/sound separation
(18 frames with Super-8 and Single-8, 56 frames with standard-8) A few points
are however important for perfect operation of the automatic threading system:
Tho sprocket guards must be closed, all splices must be perfect and the film
should have a leader about 20 inches (50 cm) long. The end of this leader should
be slightly curved inwards (clockwise as seen from the reel side of the
projector), cleanly trimmed and - especially important - Free from creases. Use
the film trimmer supplied. Fully depress the threading key, insert the film only
with the main switch set to threading'
Silent and Sound projection
1Connecting the projector to the mains supply. This immediately starts
pro-heating the lamp to ensure maximum operating life.
2Erect the reel arms and mount the reels The full reel goes on the front
arm, the empty one on the rear arm. When you look towards the screen
from behind the projector, the film perforations must be an the right –i.e.
towards you as you thread the film from the side
3When using a 600 foot (10 metre) reel - for instance the EUMIG universal
AS 21 reel - raise the catch and swing the reel arm fully upwards.
4Move the main switch to "threading” Do not thread with the switch set to
"forward projection".
5Press the threading key, which closes the film channel.
6Then guide the film leader into the threading slot. Important: Keep the
threading key depressed until the film runs onto the take-up reel
7Turn the main switch to "forward projection.
Important: When operating the projector, do not obstruct the air stream
emerging from the ventilation slots.

If due to perforation damage or other causes the image appears unsteady on the
screen or the projector rattles during running (or both), briefly depress the
threading key during projection. If this does not help, briefly switch from
forward to reverse projection (or vice versa).
Films can vary appreciably in their handling characteristics, especially with thin
film bases. If such films should fail to engage in the take-up reel, guide the film
leader into the reel core by hand.

Once the film is threaded and the projector is running:
1Adjust the projected image size by turning the zooming ring.
2Focus the image sharply by turning the line focusing control.
3Adjust the frame line control if parts of two frames appear on the
screen with a frame line between them.
4Adjust the elevation control.
5For reverse projection, turn the main central switch to "reverse
projection" the film now runs backwards. When you change the
running direction the frame line may need adjustment.
6Rapid rewind; after the Film has run through, attach the end directly to
the front reel over the projector and turn the main switch to reverse".
7When projecting sound films, adjust to the required playback volume
by turning the volume control to the right
At the end of every show always turn the main switch back to "stop"
Changing the running speed
Important: Before changing the running speed, always turn the
main switch to stop and connect the projector to the mains supply. After
switching from 24 to 18 fps, wait for a couple of minutes before projection to
allow the flywheel speed to stabilise.

SOUND RECORDING
Easy recording with striped film and automatic controls.
Sound recording Is supremely easy with EUMIG projectors, because they are
designed for magnetic sound films. Once your film has been striped (your photo
dealer can get that done for you), you use your EUMIG sound projector virtually
like a tape recorder.
The fully transistorised sound section with integrated circuits and automatic
recording level control works largely on its own, so that you can devote your full
attention to the film.
Before you start
The EUMIG universal re-recording lead, available as an accessory from photo
dealer (Order No. 790.0260/2) is a valuable aid to sound recording as It links
most audio units to your projector.
Sound Recording Procedure
ARecording through the microphone
This is the simplest and most straightforward way of recording sound.
BRecording Music
Here music is re-recorded directly from a cassette recorder, record player
etc. You can cut in the music abruptly or dissolve gradually.
CSound mixing
Here you mix speech or commentary into an already recorded music
background while running the film through the projector a second time.
The music background is at the same time suitably attenuated.

Panchromatic Eumig S810 S810D S810D Lux User Manual

A Recording through the microphone
The amplifier incorporates a novel ACFC recording control system
(automatic gain and frequency response control) so that the recording
always conveys the correct oral impression whether the microphone is
close to or further away from, the sound source.
Connect the projector to the mains supply and insert a striped film.
1Turn the mixing control fully to the right to engage.
2Connect the microphone to the socket (2).
3To avoid acoustic feedback (whistling), turn the volume control fully to
the left.
4Press the red recording key.
5Switch the projector to 'forward projection".
B Recording music
Useful aids available for this from EUMIG are the re-recording lead
already mentioned and a music and sound effects record or compact
cassette (also available from photo dealers) with a wide selection of music
passages and general sound effects.

The procedure is simple
1Connect the tape recorder, record player etc. to the socket (1)
2Turn the mixing control fully to the right to engage (2)
3Press the red recording key (3)
4Turn main switch all the way to “forward projection” (4)
5The sound being recorded can be monitored via the built in speaker.
Use the volume control to adjust the sound volume as required.
Music dissolves
A soft dissolve from one piece of music to another is suitable for cuts
between similar shots.
1 Record the music for scene No. 1. Stop the projector just after scene No 2
appears on the screen (The recording key automatically jumps out)
Switch the main switch to reverse projection' and run the film back about
3 or 4 seconds beyond the cut.
2 Turn the mixing control fully to the left, press the recording key and turn
the main switch all the way to "forward projection" Then gradually turn
the mixing control to the right until it engages At the same time run the
record or tape to record the music for scene No. 2.

Abrupt music cuts
For transitions between greatly differing shots an abrupt music cut is
more appropriate. Here the mixing control always remains fully turned to
the right and engaged.
1Terminate the first recording and wind the film back exactly to the
point of the cut. As the projection lamp glows weakly (pro-heating)
even with the main switch set to 'stop", a faint projected image is
visible and you can accurately locate this point by turning the inching
knob which Is next to the recording key.
2Press the recording key, turn the main switch all the way to “forward
projection' and record the music for scene No. 2.

C Sound Mixing
Often background music is all you need. But sometimes you may want to add a
spoken commentary or special sound effects. This is easy with the mixing
control.
Once the music is recorded, re-thread the film end insert the micro- phone into
the socket. Then:
1Turn the mixing control fully to the left.
2Turn the volume control also fully to the left.
3Switch to sound recording: press the recording key.
4Turn the main switch all the way, to “forward projection".
5Before speaking into the microphone turn the mixing control to the
right this attenuates the background music and records the spoken
commentary. You can control the degree of music attenuation and
the recording level of the mixed in commentary as required by
adjusting the mixing control. If you speak a brief cue word - for
instance “attention”, recording into the microphone immediately
before operating the mixing control, the automatic recording level
control suppresses unwanted room noise during mixing,

6When you have finished speaking, turn the mixing control back to
the left, this ends the mixing sequence and the music regains its
original level. This sequence of fading in and out is carried out for
every speech passage.
As with microphone recording (described already), turning the main switch
back to top disengages the recording setting
Operating Controls
1Switching to recording. First press the red recording key (which causes
the red signal lamp to light up) and then quickly turn the main switch
past the "threading" position to "forward projection”You can only
record sound with the main switch in this position and the recording
key depressed. On turning the switch back to “threading”or “stop”the
projector automatically returns to the playback mode to prevent
inadvertent erasure.

Panchromatic Eumig S810 S810D S810D Lux User Manual

2 The mixing control, as we have seen, permits soft music dissolves
and over recording of commentary or sound effects while
attenuating an already recorded music background. In this sound
recording mode the yellow mixing signal lamp lights up.
As marked on the scale, you can also have intermediate positions.
With the knob turned fully to the left the sound unit does not
record: in the left hand half of the scale you have a low level of
mixed-in recording and low attenuation of music. In the right hand
scale range you have a high level of mixed-in recording and
considerable music attenuation. The extreme right hand position
provides full recording and complete erasure of previous
recordings.
3 The volume control adjusts the playback volume, and the
monitoring volume during re-recording from audio units
connected to the projector. As the recording level is controlled
automatically, the position of this control during recording has no
effect on the recording level. But to avoid acoustic feedback
(whistling) while recording through the microphone, keep the
volume control fully turn to the left.

4 Erasure of a previous sound recording takes place automatically
during every new recording. The only exception is during mixing
(page 12). But you can also erase a track without recording a new
one, by switching the main switch to "forward projection without a
microphone or other sound source connected.
6Connecting supplementary units. You can also connect an external
speaker to set up near the screen by connecting it to the speaker socket
This switches off the built-in speaker. For optimum playback quality
and a full frequency range we recommend the LS 800 extension
speaker which is matched to your projector (Order No. 790035013).
When connecting several speakers check that the total impedance Is
at least 4 ohms. Two 4 ohm speakers wired in parallel only have an
impedance of 2 ohms.
