IMPORTANT: BEFORE OPENING THE BOX CONTAINING THE
XENON BULB, NOTE THE FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONS: The
Xenon bulb contains gas under pressure. Care should be taken in
handling the bulb to avoid injury.
Wear protective clothing such as gloves, long-sleeved shirt, face
and eye covering to protect against flying glass in the event of bulb
breakage.
Handle the bulb only by the ends. Natural skin oils from hands
may damage the quartz envelope.
Always allow the bulb to cool before handling.
When necessary, clean the bulb with ordinary rubbing alcohol
(only when the bulb is cool).
Place the bulb on a soft, secure surface away from table edges.
Never operate the bulb with the lamp cover off. Do not permit
light from the bulb to fall directly on skin or clothing. The Light
from the Xenon bulb is rich in ultraviolet rays similar to direct sun
rays. This could burn the skin and bleach clothing. Do not look
at the bulb directly while it is on. The light emerging from the
projector lens is safe as long as common sense is exercised.
If you have any questions regarding the installation of the Xenon
lamp, please call Navitar at 1-800-828-6778.

Introduction
Xenon High Intensity
Slide Projectors
The Navitar Xenon Slide Projector is so bright you can make slide presentations with the room lights on. Even more important, you wont
loose your audience in the depths of a darkened room. Youll be able to
maintain eye contact and see their reactions. And, the audience will be
able to see the most important part of the presentation, the presenter.
The brilliance of the Navitar Xenon Slide Projector brings your slides to
life with new vividness and clarity. It delivers far more presentation
impact than conventional slide projectors because its six times brighter.
Whites are brighter and blacks are blacker. Colors are more vivid and
visuals are stronger. Your slides will come alive on the screen.
Navitars Xenon 560AF and 750AF series slide projectors operate much
like a standard slide projector. Just turn it on and the Xenon bulb will
strike instantly. It has remote forward/reverse, remote focus, auto focus
and a variable timer. This unit can be operated by a Navitar remote
control or tied into a boardroom conference system.
The Random Access series Xenon models 560RAK, 560RARS-232,
750RAK and 750 RARS-232 allow you to randomly access any slide in
the tray in any sequence required, as well as pre-program the slide
sequence from a control system.

Getting Started
Read these instructions carefully before you remove the projector and
other components from the container.
Xenon Lamp
Ellipsoid Mirror
Lamp Adjusting Screws (3)
Condenser Lens
Plane Mirror
Lamp Positive
Wire Screw
1. Remove contents from shipping container and check against
the following list:
n Projector
n Power Cord
n Xenon Bulb (DO NOT REMOVE THE BULB FROM THE BOX
UNTIL DIRECTED TO DO SO)
n Tools
large and small Phillips screwdrivers
2. Place the projector on a flat, stable surface and adjust leveling feet
by turning. This revents the projector from rocking. Make sure the
projector is turned off and unplugged from the wall socket.
3. Remove the four (4) white thumbscrews attaching the lamp
house top cover. (Do not remove the small covering plate on the
lamp house cover if it is installed.)

Installing a New Lamp
IMPORTANT: BEFORE OPENING THE BOX CONTAINING THE
XENON BULB, NOTE THE FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONS: The
Xenon bulb contains gas under pressure. Care should be taken in
handling the bulb to avoid injury.
Wear protective clothing such as gloves, long-sleeved shirt, face
and eye covering to protect against flying glass in the event of bulb
breakage.
Handle the bulb only by the ends. Natural skin oils from hands
may damage the quartz envelope.
Always allow the bulb to cool before handling.
When necessary, clean the bulb with ordinary rubbing alcohol
(only when the bulb is cool).
Place the bulb on a soft, secure surface away from table edges.
Never operate the bulb with the lamp cover off. Do not permit
light from the bulb to fall directly on skin or clothing. The Light
from the Xenon bulb is rich in ultraviolet rays similar to direct sun
rays. This could burn the skin and bleach clothing. Do not look
at the bulb directly while it is on. The light emerging from the
projector lens is safe as long as common sense is exercised.
If you have any questions regarding the installation of the Xenon
lamp, please call Navitar at 1-800-828-6778.
4. Gently lift off the lamp house top cover. Unhook the white
connector and place the cover on the table, out of your way.
5. If you are replacing your lamp (if not, Skip to 36), remove the screw
which attaches the positive terminal of lamp. This is the black
assembly above the mirror labeled LAMP. Loosen and remove the
lens cap which attaches the negative terminal of the lamp to the
mirror holder. Take out the old lamp while holding the end cap.
6. Your Navitar Xenon 560 or 750 watt slide projector has been pre-
aligned at the factory to be compatible with the enclosed bulb. For
optimum illumination and ease of installation, please install as
follows. If you look at the Xenon bulb itself, you will see that there
is a pointed section of the bulb near the center of the quartz enve-
lope. Please be careful to install the bulb so that this point is facing
upwards at 12 oclock. If the point is placed at any other spot, itwill
take you longer to properly align your bulb. Remove the bulb from
the box by firmly holding the positive wire end post of the bulb.

Installing a New Lamp
7. While holding the positive wire end post firmly, remove the end cap
and washer (if supplied) from the bulb. Insert the screw end of the
bulb into the center of the reflector and through the hole to the back
side of the reflector. Make sure the bulb does not touch either side
of the reflector. Make sure to include the washer and black wire
and screw on the end cap in order to secure the bulb.
8. Unscrew the positive wire screw from the black assembly above the
mirror labeled LAMP. Insert the screw through the positive wire
closed ring (connector) of the lamp. Locate the screw hole labeled
LAMP above the mirror and tighten down the screw.
Be careful not to lose the screw. It is important that the positive
wire from the lamp is firmly attached in order to achieve proper
contact.
The positive lead wire of the lamp should be kept 10-15mm or
more away from any part, including the filter. A closer distance may
cause the leakage of high tension and result in non-ignition of the
lamp, especially for an old lamp.
The gas evacuation tip of the lamp should be positioned upwards
at 12 oclock.
9. Replace the lamp house top cover. Reconnect the white connector
and replace the four (4) white thumbscrews.
10. Plug the power cord into the projector socket and suitable line
outlet (120v, 60 Hz). Turn the power on/off switch to on. Note that
the green power-on indicator should be on.
11. Turn the projector on by turning on the round operating switch.
Rotate the round operating switch first clockwise to the center
position, then to the lamp on position. The lamp should start to
glow. It will take a few seconds to come up to full brilliance. If you
hear a clicking sound, but the bulb fails to strike, check to make
sure that the positive wire is securely tightened down.
12. In order to see an image projected from the projector, it will be
necessary to open the shutter in the slide projector. To do this,
insert a slide into the slide film gate (the slot on top of the projec-
tor). An empty slide holder without film or glass is best for lamp
adjustment purposes.

13. If your Xenon projector is a 560/750DM, the blades of the Dissolve
Module may have to be opened . See the section called Connecting
the Dissolve Interface Unit to the Dissolve Module.
Installing a New Lamp
14. After installing the bulb, it will be necessary to adjust the bulb
position in order to render even illumination across the screen.
Position the projector so the light from the lens is directed onto a
reasonably good screen.
Facing the projector from the rear, three (3) adjustment holes are
located on the lamp house covers left side. Remove the black
rubber plugs to expose the three (3) adjustment holes. The larger
Phillips screwdriver may inserted through each hole to adjust the
lamp position.
The left adjustment (A) will move the image of the light along a
diagonal from top left to bottom right and back. The center adjust-
ment (B) will move the image up or down. The right adjustment (C)
will move the image along a diagonal from bottom left to top right.
Try to adjust the image of the light on the screen for the most even
illumination across the screen.
