SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
When using your photographic equip-
ment, basic safety precautions should
always be followed, including the follow-
ing:
1. Read and understand all instructions be-
fore using.
2. Close supervision is necessary when any
appliance is used by or near children. Do
not leave appliance unattended while in
use.
3. Care must be taken as burns can occur
from touching hot parts.
4. Do not operate appliance with a dam-
aged cord or if the appliance has been
dropped or damaged—until it has been
examined by a qualified serviceman.
5. Position the cord so that it will not be
tripped over, pulled, or contact hot sur-
faces.
6. If an extension cord is necessary, a cord
with a current rating at least equal to that
of the appliance should be used. Cords
rated for less amperage than the appli-
ance may overheat.
7. Always unplug appliance from electrical
outlet before cleaning and servicing and
when not in use. Never yank cord to pull
plug from outlet. Grasp plug and pull to
disconnect.
8. Let appliance cool completely before put-
ting away. Loop cord loosely around

not immerse this appliance in water or
other liquids.
10. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do
not disassemble this appliance, but take
it to a qualified serviceman when service
or repair work is required. Incorrect reas-
sembly can cause electric shock when
the appliance is used subsequently.
11. The use of an accessory attachment not
recommended by the manufacturer may
cause a risk of fire, electric shock, or
injury to persons.
12. Connect this appliance to a grounded out-
let.
13. Disconnect this unit from its source of
supply before replacing the projection

INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on the purchase of your new KODAK
EKTAGRAPHIC AudioViewer/Projector.
Please study this instruction manual. Knowing how your Audio-
Viewer/Projector works will help you to communicate your message
to your audience more effectively.
The current family of KODAK EKTAGRAPHIC AudioViewer/
Projectors has four models: the Models 220, 270, 470, and 570AF.
The Model 220 is a minimum-investment machine for playback of
synchronized sound-slide programs for almost any application in
which automatic slide projection with sound for an individual or a
small group is required.
The Model 570AF provides additional features for maximum equip-
ment versatility, such as autofocus capability and a variable
electronic timer for silent automatic slide advance.
The Models 270 and 470 offer a range of features in between these
two models to satisfy your particular needs.
IMPORTANT: This instruction manual explains all of the
operational features of our top-of-the-line AudioViewer/
Projector—the Model 570AF. It therefore describes in detail
features that your AudioViewer/Projector may not have.
To become familiar with the features provided by your Audio-
Viewer/ Projector, and to make this instruction manual as useful to
you as possible, scan the list of features under “Standard Features of
the Current Line of KODAK EKTAGRAPHIC AudioViewer/
Projectors;” then study the “Feature Comparison Chart— KODAK
EKTAGRAPHIC AudioViewer/Projectors” so that you will be able to
identify the instructions that apply to your machine. (For your
convenience, specific AudioViewer/Projector models are identified in
the instructions, where appropriate.)

Projector, please contact your local dealer in Kodak audiovisual
products or call Kodak at 1-800-242-2424 from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m.,
