OPERATION

MAINTENANCE

• Operational maintenance .... the things you will have to do to keep your

equipment producing brilliant pictures, accompanied by true reproduction of
sound. Many of these suggestions will become a part of routine operation. They
are just as important as correct focus or good tone' if you are to enjoy your
Sound Kodascope.

PROJECTION

SETUP

The Night

• If you are to receive the fullest satisfaction from your
Sound Kodascope, you should project pictures of an ade-
quate size and brilliance. Generally speaking, there are
four things which govern picture size-size of screen,

focal

length

of lens,

brightness

of screen, and

distance from pro-

jecfor to

screen. Whatever the limiting factor may be-
screen size, lens focal length, screen brightness, or pro-
jector-to-screen distance-the graph below will give you

.quickly the information you need to make the correct

projection setup and enjoy maximum-size pictures.
