INT R O DUC T I ON
The Rolleivision Twin MSC 325 P and Rolleivision MSC 535 P are highly precise optoelectronic projectors designed for dissolve
projection. Focusing, magazine advance, slide
changing, dissolve time and screen time are
microprocessor-controlled. A remote infrared
handset with integral timer and dissolve-time
control plus integral laser pointer ensures
high operator comfort. Intelligently organized
indicators keep you informed about the current operating status. The line of interchangeable lenses includes suitable focal lengths for
all normal projection distances.
Either projector accepts LKM, CS and standard magazines, including the Rollei CM-55/
50 hook-up magazines based on the latter.
There is no need to use special magazines
that would require rearranging your slides.
Awkward blackout between screen images
and abrupt image changes are a thing of
the past: Projection with smooth transitions
opens up new perspectives for creative slide
shows.
projectors. At the end of the instructions, you
will find practical hints as well as troubleshooting help. A table lists screen sizes and
projection distances.
Whether you use your projector in your work
or as a fascinating hobby – we wish you a lot
of fun with dissolve projection.
We have prepared detailed operating instructions that will enable you to use the full
potential of these unique projectors to best
advantage. An explanation of all important
components and their functions is followed
by brief information on essential controls.
This in turn is followed by a detailed description of use and operating modes of the

Loading slides
Standard Rollei CM-55/50 magazine
Preferably use “auto-safe” slides in smooth
plastic mounts with rounded corners, no thicker than 3.2 mm. We recommend the use
of slide mounts that are available in a
comprehensive range of types and sizes.
NOTE:
Bent cardboard-mounted slides, metal mounts
or all-glass mounted slides with sharp edges
or corners should not be used because they
are liable to cause problems.
Identical slide mounts ensure optimum registration of images during the dissolve.
CAUTION:
Use only high-quality magazines made
of an opaque material to avoid projector malfunctions!
The Rollei CM-55/50 magazines are
a perfect match for the Twin projectors..
These 50-slide magazines are easily hooked
up before or during projection, which permits
continuous projection of several magazines
without any interruption. To aid in this, magazine extension tracks are available as optional
accessories, which are simply hooked into the
projector. Rollei CM-55/50 magazines can also
be used with most other commercially available projectors.

Loading slides
Position the magazine with its numbers
»
on the right and insert slides upside down,
emulsion facing the screen, in the desired
order, starting with slot No. 1.
LKM magazines
LKM magazines may be used for all slide
mounts up to 2 mm thick. To avoid problems,
we recommend the use of slides between
1.5 and 2 mm thick with LKM magazines.
Mounts of less than 1.5 mm thickness should
be used only with standard magazines. Be
sure to use only identical slide mounts for
optimum registration of images. Magazines
for 60 or 80 slides are commercially available
(not from Rollei).
CS magazines
CS magazines take specially designed CS
mounts. These have shaped edges that engage guides in the slide slots. Other types of
mount cannot be used. CS magazines are
commercially available in sizes for 40 or 100
slides (not from Rollei).
Fitting the lenses
Screw the two lenses into their mounts,
taking care not to leave any fingerprints on
their glass surfaces.

Setting up the projector and screen
Set up the projector properly: its front

parallel to the screen, the lenses centered on

and magazine travel. A stable horizontal position is very important. We recommend the
use of a projector table. Do not obstruct the
ventilation slits!
Aligning the image
Line up the projected image with the

center of the screen. Turn the projector feet
to adjust the height and horizontal position
of the image.
To eliminate lateral misalignment, shift

Manual refocusing is necessary after changing
the lenses, varying the projection distance or
changing the focal-length setting of zoom
lenses.
Slides in glassless mounts may pop when
exposed to the heat of the light beam. In this
case also, the AF system automatically refocuses the image.
The two »focus« buttons used for manual
operation remain active even with the AF system in operation. In other words, pressing one
of these buttons will override autofocusing.
Blinking of the LED next to button 38 indicates that the image on the screen is being
projected without AF. AF will be reactivated
either by depression of button 38 or by the
next slide-change command. The LED will
then go out.
