FINAL ADJUSTMENTS (ALL INSTALLATIONS)
1. Turn the projector on with the UH480 Lens out of the projector beam. Set the horizontal
lens shift to neutral (if a feature of your projector) and then adjust the ceiling mount so that the
16:9 image is in the exact center of and square to the screen, with a similar amount of image
slightly over the top and bottom screen borders. If the projector lens is not in the exact
horizontal center of the screen you may need to use a little horizontal lens shift for this
purpose.
2. Bring the UH480 Lens into the beam. Adjust the vertical position and tilt of the Lens so
that the projector beam is passing through the center of the Lens and so any residual
pincushion distortion is about the same at the top and bottom of the image. This will typically
result in the UH480 Lens being below the center of the projector lens and tilted slightly
downward. Tighten the knobs.
3. Adjust the rotation of either the ATH or MTH1 transport so that the left and right sides of
the image are an equal distance from their respective screen borders. Now tighten the Pivot
Screw (ATH) and also the four remaining screws holding the transport to the Attachment Plate.
4. For optimum multiple aspect ratio performance, adjust the projector’s zoom so that a
1.85:1 aspect ratio movie (Panamorph “out”) is just masked by the top and bottom of the
screen border. This way 1.85:1, 16:9 and 2.35-2.4:1 aspect ratio movies should all be
presented to fill the screen at a constant height.
CLEANING
In most applications lenses do not need very much cleaning – a bit of dust will not impact
image clarity. However, in today’s high performance home cinemas with very dark rooms a
small build-up of dust or other foreign matter on your projector lens or your Panamorph lens
can produce a measurable reduction in contrast. The most effective cleaning approach is to
simply blow off any dust. If there is any residue or build-up then it is recommended that you
clean the optics with professional lens cleaning supplies such as from a camera store while the
lens is in front of the lit beam of the projector. This will allow you to quickly see both the results
of cleaning and also if you are causing any damage.
