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 minimiim-investment machine for playback of
synchronized sound-slide programs for almost any application in
which automatic slide projection with soimd 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 AudioViewer/ 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 I
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.)

recorded with an EKTAGRAPHIC
AudioViewer/Projector or
EKTAGRAPHIC AudioViewer can
be used.)
Preparing the AudioViewer/
Projector for Program Piayback
1. Place the AudioViewer/
Projector on a sturdy support.
(The rubber feet are nonmarring.)
2. Turn the storage-door latches
on the back of the Audio
Viewer/Projector counter
clockwise and open the storage
door from the top.

3. Plug the AudioViewer/Prqjec-
tor into a grounded 120 V,
60 Hz power outlet.
SLIDE-NUMBER “0”
I
GATE INDEX
a. Place the tray of slides on the
AudioViewer/Projector with
slide number "0” at the gate
index. (If the tray does not seat
properly on the Audio Viewer/
Projector, remove the tray and
rotate the bottom metal plate
of the tray until the metal
plate locks into the "0”
position.)
b. Replace the tray on the Audio
Viewer/Projector.
Using the Built-In Viewing Screen
5. Set the projection-lamp switch
(HI/ LO/EXT) to the low (LO)
position.
a. Low (LO) is normally used for
projecting images onto the
built-in viewing screen.
b. High (HI) is normally used for
a brighter image when project
ing onto an external front
screen (using the built-in frontprojection lens). Using high
with the built-in viewing
screen will not damage the
AudioViewer/Projector, the
built-in screen, nor the slides.
c. The function of the external
position of the lamp switch
(EXT) is discussed on page 4,
under the heading, "Projec
tion-lamp switch (HI/LO/
EXT),” and also under "Exter
nal- projector interconnect
outlet.”
6. Press the slide-forward button
to advance the tray to a slide.
An image will appear on the
screen.
Using the Image-Magnifying System
8. To magnify the image for
close-up study, press in and
lower the image-magnifying
lever.
a. The center portion of a 24 x
36 mm transparency is magni
fied about 50 percent to fill the
built-in viewing screen.
h. Refocus the image. (The image
magnifier also works when pro
jecting onto an external frontprojection screen.)

LEVER
4. Turn on the AudioViewer/
Projector by moving the power
button to the ON position.
a. The projection lamp will
turn on.
b. The motor and fan will also
start but the built-in viewing
screen (or built-in front-projec
tion lens) will remain dark be
cause the dark-screen shutter
opens to allow the light beam
to project only when a slide is
in the gate.
Focusing the Image
7. Focus the image.
a. Model 570AF: Move the
AUTOFOCUS ON/OFF
SWITCH to the ON position. If
possible, focus on an openframe cardboard-mounted
slide, rather than on a glassmounted slide; the autofocus
mechanism will then focus
automatically on each slide
type, even when intermixing
cardboard, plastic, and metal
mounts (with the exception of
glass-mounted black-and white
slides).
h. Models 220, 270, and 470:
Manual focusing is normally
needed only once at the begin
ning of the slide program if all
slide mounts are the same type.
If cardboard and glass-mounted
slides are intermixed, however,
refocusing for each mount type
may be necessary.
IMAGE IN MAGNIFIED MODE
Using an External Front-Projection
Screen
NOTE: For optimum image
brightness and quality, the sug
gested distance between the exter
nal front-projection screen and
AudioViewer/Projector is 3 to
12 feet (0.91 metre to 3.7 metres).
9. To project onto an external
screen:
a. Place the projection-lamp
switch at high (HI) and move
the front-projection door to the
right. This will expose the per
manently installed 77 mm //3.5
front-projection lens.
b. Refocus the image on the exter
nal screen.
Raising and Leveling the Image
10. To raise and level the image
a. Press and hold down both inde
pendently adjustable elevation
latches.
b. Raise and adjust the front of
the AudioViewer/Projector to
the desired angle.
Using the Built-In Cassette Machine
12. Press the tape stop/eject
button (STOP/EJECT) to open
the cassette well.
IMPORTANT: Unlike most cas
sette machines, the AudioViewer/
Projector requires the cassette to
he oriented so that
a. The full reel of rewound tape
on the supply reel is located on
the bottom—not at the top.
(The empty takeup reel is
located on top.)
b. The open-tape side of the cas
sette faces forward (toward
you).
c. Side A of the tape faces away
from the machine.
FRONT-PROJECTION DOOR
c. Release the latches.
11. Reverse the tray to the
beginning of the program.
Press the slide-reverse button un
til slide-number "0” is at the gate
index.

OPERATING CONTROLS
Slide Controls
Slide-focus knob: Turn this knob in
either direction to focus images.
With the Model 570AF, place the
autofocus on/off switch at the ON
position and focus the first image
only. Subsequent images will remain
in focus, even when using mixed types
of mounts, providing the autofocus
ON/ OFF switch is kept on.
Autofocus on/off switch: This
switch (Model 570AF only) must be
set at ON for the autofocus mecha
nism to operate.
Slide-forward button: Press and re
lease this button once to advance the
tray to the next slide. Hold it down to
advance the tray rapidly.
Pressing this button while the
AudioViewer/Projector is in the re
cording mode (Models 270, 470, and
570AF) advances the tray and records
a 1000 Hz slide-advance pulse on the
projector-control track of the tape.
(See page 15 for information on the
tape-track configuration of the AudioViewer/Projector, under the heading
"Magnetic Cassette Tapes.”
Slide-reverse button: Press and re
lease this button once to reverse the
tray to the preceding slide. Hold it
down to reverse the tray rapidly.
NOTE: The slide-forward and
slide-reverse buttons can be
used during program playback
to resynchronize the images
with the audio track, if
necessary.
Power switch: Moving this switch to
the ON position provides power to the
entire Audio Viewer/Projector.
Slide-select button: When this but
ton is held down (with power on), the
tray can be rotated by hand in either
direction to any slide for projection or
for editing, or to slide-number "0” for
tray removal.
Projection-lamp switch (HI/
LO/EXT): As noted previously. High
(HI) produces a brighter image and is
normally used when projecting slides
onto an external screen with the
built-in front-projection lens.
The low position of this switch (LO)
is normally used when viewing im
ages on the built-in viewing screen
(front-projection door closed).
The external position (EXT) turns
off the projection lamp in the AudioViewer/Projector and routes manual,
recorded, or timer-generated (Model
570AF only) slide-advance pulses to
an external slide projector (or dis
4
solve control and two slide projectors)
linked to the external-projector inter
connect outlet with an accessory
KODAK
AudioViewer EC Intercon
nect Cord.
Image-magnifying lever: When this
lever is lowered to its bottom position,
the center portion of a 24 x 36 mm
transparency is magnified by about 50
percent so the center portion of the
image fills the screen and small de
tails in the center of the slide can be
seen more easily.
The normal (unmagnifying) posi
tion of the image-magnifying lever
is up.
Images can be magnified while us
ing the built-in viewing screen or
while projecting images onto an ex
ternal screen using the built-in frontprojection lens. (Refer to page 9, un
der the heading "How to Avoid Image
Cropping” for important information
on transparency formats and the
usable picture area.)
Variable electronic timer: The vari
able electronic timer (Model 570AF
only) provides continuously variable
automatic slide advance pulses from
approximately 2 seconds at the fast
end (1) to 24 seconds at the slow end
(9). The slide tray on the AudioViewer/ Projector (or on an external
slide projector or dissolve control con
nected to the external-projector inter
connect outlet) will cycle automati
cally at any chosen interval from 2 to
24 seconds.
When using the variable electronic
timer to advance an external slide
projector or dissolve control (con
nected to the external-projector inter
connect outlet with an AudioViewer
EC Interconnect Cord), set the AudioViewer/Projector projection lamp
switch at the external (EXT) position.
Move the variable electronic timer
control to off to resume manual or
taped slide advance.
Quick-locking elevation legs: As
noted previously, you can adjust the
Audio Viewer/Projector for proper im
age height and leveling by pressing
down on both independently-adjustable latches while raising or lowering
the Audio Viewer/Projector to the de
sired angle. When the image is in the
required position, release both latch
es. The elevation legs will lock in
position.
Slide Control Outlets and Jacks
External-projector interconnect
outlet: This outlet accepts the plug of
a KODAK AudioViewer EC Intercon
nect Cord (an accessory item de
scribed on page 18). When the 3-posi-
tion lamp-control switch is set at the
external position (EXT), the AudioViewer EC Interconnect Cord pro
vides a path for manual, recorded, or
timer-generated (Model 570AF only)
slide-advance pulses from the AudioViewer/Projector to an external slide
projector (or dissolve control and two
slide projectors).
To use the external-projector
interconnect outlet, the following
equipment is needed: a KODAK
EKTAGRAPHIC AudioViewer/
Projector, Model 220, 270, 470, or
570AF; a KODAK AudioViewer EC
Interconnect Cord; a slide projector
(such as a KODAK EKTAGRAPHIC
III E Projector) or a dissolve control
and two slide projectors (such as a
KODAK EKTAGRAPHIC Program
mable Dissolve Control, Model 2, and
two KODAK EKTAGRAPHIC III E
Projectors.) You will also need a suit
able sound-slide program (an AV cas
sette tape recorded with narration
and 1000 Hz slide-advance signals)
and a tray of slides.
Using a Single External Slide Pro
jector with the External-Projector
Interconnect Outlet
NOTE: Refer to the "User’s Op
erating Instructions” packed
with your slide projector for de
tails on projector operation.
1. Connect the 2-pin plug of the
KODAK AudioViewer EC Inter
connect Cord (accessory item) into
the external projector (EXTER
NAL PROJECTOR) jack on the
side panel of the AudioViewer/
Projector.
2. Then insert the 5-pin plug of the
AudioViewer EC Interconnect
Cord into the remote-control recep
tacle of the external slide projector.
3. Set the projection-lamp switch of
the Audio Viewer/Projector at the
external position (EXT). If the pro
jection-lamp switch is set at HI or
LO, the slide-advance mechanism
of the Audio Viewer/Projector will
advance instead of the external
slide projector.
4. Turn on the lamp of the external
slide projector and install the tray
