Summary

The V250J is a high performance customized anamorphic lens system desig ned specifically for
the above ceiling mounted JVC projectors to provide the ultimate in true 2.40:1 cinema
immersive theater environments. It is designed to be very easy to install and is used with
custom JVC projector settings to make home theater projection on a 2.40:1 aspect ratio screen
as plug and play as possible. For optimum performance, please note the following guidance:

Optimum throw distance from screen to projector: 12 - 28 feet (3.5 to 8.5 meters).
Ratio of throw distance to screen width: 1.7 minimum.

Designed projector mounting configuration: ceiling mounted (i.e. projector feet "up") and
horizontally centered (approximately) on the center of the screen.

Optimum vertical position of the projector: +/- 20% of screen height from the top of the screen.
Design tip: Variations from optimum guidance will typically not cause noticeable effects on

image quality, although a small ratio of throw distance to screen width will likely result in the
image being cut off at the edges (overall, a larger ratio is recommended).

Installation

1. Before installing the lens, make sure the projector lens is horizontally aligned with the
center line of the screen and that the image is not tilted left to right relative to the top and bottom
of the screen border. Also make sure the projector ceiling mount is secure since the
anamorphic lens system will add mass to the front of the projector.

2. Insert the lens mounting screws into the two holes in the top of the ceiling mounted
projector j ust above the projector lens location. Leave at least 1/8" (3mm) of thread remaining.
This can be done by hand.

3. Make sure t he Fine Tilt knob has approximately the same amount of thread showing on
either side of the lens bracket as shown and the screws holding the V250J lens are reas onably
tight so that the lens does not tilt in its bracket.

4. Install the lens system by placing the slot openings over the mounting screws and sliding
back until the system is flush against the projector's lens housing. Tighten the lens mounting
screws.

5. Turn on the projector. REMOVE THE PROTECTIVE FILM ON THE FRONT OF THE
V250J LENS. Using the remote, select " Lens => Zoom" and adjust the image size to fill the
entire width of screen (the lens may be cutting off part of the image but you will correct this in
step 6). Select "Lens => Focus" and tune in the focus.
