    • D
      Deborah KellyJul 31, 2025
      If the slide isn't dropping into the projection position on your Kodak Projector, consider these potential causes: * The tray base plate might not be properly indexed. Align the index hole and index notch. * The tray might not be correctly positioned on the projector. Reposition the tray. * The slide mount could be warped or frayed. Straighten the mount or remount the slide. * The projector might not be level or is tilted too high. Place the projector on a stand that is level with the center of the screen.
