      If your Kodak Projector isn't advancing to the next slide, it might be due to the tray not being positioned correctly or a slide or foreign object being stuck in the gate. Try repositioning the tray.

      Uneven illumination on the screen of your Kodak Projector can occur if the projection lamp isn't fully seated, the condenser lens isn't installed or positioned properly, or the slide mount isn't seated correctly in the projector gate. Check the lamp, condenser lens, and slide position.

      If there's no light on the screen when a slide is in the gate of your Kodak Projector, the power switch might be set to 'Off' or 'Fan', the lamp could be burned out, or the lamp might not be properly seated in its socket. Set the switch to 'Lamp', install a new lamp or lamp module, and check the lamp's seating.

      If the slide isn't dropping correctly into the projection position on your Kodak Projector, the tray base plate might not be properly indexed, the tray might not be correctly positioned, the slide mount could be warped, or the projector might not be level. Align the index hole and notch, reposition the tray, straighten the mount or remount the slide, and ensure the projector is level.

      If your Kodak Projector's slides are not in focus, it may be due to the slide itself not being sharp, the first slide in the tray not being properly focused, the slide being in a different type of mount from others, or the projection lens being installed improperly. Examine the slide, manually focus the center of the first slide, and follow the instructions for installing the lens.

    Why is there uneven edge-to-edge focus on my Kodak CAROUSEL BC5601?
    • K
      keithcortezSep 8, 2025
      Uneven focus from edge to edge on your Kodak Projector can be caused by a slide that isn't sharp, using a curved field lens with glass, plastic, or non-embossed mounts, using a curved field lens for rear projection or the lamp performance. Examine the slide, try a flat field lens or install a new lamp and try again.
