Important Information

CAUTION: The lenses contained in this product are

extremely delicate precision optics, and may be scratched or otherwise damaged by physical contact with external objects of any kind. It is therefore essential to avoid any such contact, or any other mistreatment of the lenses. Scratches or other externally caused damage to lenses that are deemed to have arisen through neglect or misuse, are excluded from protection under the McIntosh Limited Warranty.

1. The LK1 Power Supply Adapter should not be connected to the LK1 Motorized Sled or to the AC Power Wall Outlet until the physical mounting of the McIntosh MDLP Series Projector, LK1 Anamorphic Lens System and MB20/EP20 Mounting Brackets is completed.

2. For additional connection information, refer to the owner’s manual(s) for any component(s) connected to the LK1 Anamorphic Lens System.

3. The LK1 Anamorphic Lens is designed to produce the best possible images when a curved Anamorphic Projection Screen is used, contact your McIntosh Dealer for additional information.

4. The Anamorphic Lens is a precision optical device with special coatings just like you would find on Professional Cameras. In the event the Lens requires cleaning to remove airborne particles such as dust and dirt from the Lens, use a safe cleaning product such as a clean and dry 3MTM Scotch-Brite® Microfiber Lens Cleaning Cloth. At no time should ordinary household cleaning products be used to clean the Lens, as damage will occur.

5. To protect the lens surfaces from accidental damage during the installation process DO NOT REMOVE THE LENS COVERS UNTIL INSTRUCTED.

6. The LK1 Motorized Sled uses bearings made from specialized permanently lubricated materials. Keep the rail

linear bearing clean, dry, and contaminant free. Do not apply any lubricants to the Motorized Sled as this will gum up the mechanism and possibly produce a film on the projector and anamorphic lenses.

In case the LK1 Sled is accidentally soiled (i.e. spilled soda), clean all contaminants with distilled water first and allow it to dry. Then wipe it down with denatured alcohol. The LK1 should never be operated unless the mechanism is completely dry, as it relies upon clean and dry rails to operate smoothly.

7. The assembly and adjustemnt of LK1/EP20/MB20 will require a Phillips head screw driver, adjustable wrench, 5/32 and 3/16 allen tools.

8. When the symbol illustrated here is located on the product or on the packaging, it indicates the product must not be disposed of with your other household waste. Instead, it is your responsibility to dispose of your waste equipment by handing it over to a designated collection point for the recycling of waste electrical and electronic equipment. The separate collection and recycling of your waste equipment at the time of disposal will help to conserve natural resources and ensure that it is recycled in a manner that protects human health and the environment. For more information about where you can drop off your waste equipment for recycling, please contact your local city office, your household waste disposal service or the McIntosh Dealer where you purchased the product.
