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.)

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

To play back a sound-slide pro gram with your KODAK EKTAGRAPHIC AudioViewer/ Projector, follow the steps listed below:

You will need a program recorded in conformance with ANSI Standard PH7.4—1975. (Any program 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.

a. Uncoil the permanently at

tached power cord and run it through the slot of the storage door.

b. Close the storage door and re

lock both latches.

POWER CORD

STORAGE DOOR

1 1"

STORAGE-DOOR LATCHES

3. Plug the AudioViewer/Prqjec-

tor into a grounded 120 V, 60 Hz power outlet.

SLIDE-NUMBER “0”

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.)

IMAGE-MAGNIFYING

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.

■ SIDE A

13. Insert the Cassette into the Cassette Well.

a. Orient the cassette as de

scribed above and gently press the cassette into the cassette

well; then close the cassettewell cover.

b. Press the tape-play button. The

tape will start playing. c. Adjust volume and tone. d. Refocus if necessary.

Suggested front-projection distance is 3-12 feet.

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

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
