WAR NING
CAUTION
RISK OFELECTRIC SHOCK
DO NOTOPEN
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK)
NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE.
REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED
CAUTION:
SERVICE PERSONNEL.
1. Read these instructions.
2. Keep these instructions.
3. Heed all warnings.
4. Follow all instructions.
5. Do not use this apparatus near water.
6. Clean only with a dry cloth.
This symbol is intended to alert the user to the presence of
uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure that
may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock.
This symbol is intended to alert the user to the presence of important
operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature
accompanying the appliance.
7. Do not block any of the ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
8. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that
produce heat.
9. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider
than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong is
provided for your safety. When the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for the replacement of the
obsolete outlet.
10. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles and the point where
they exit from the apparatus.
11. Only use the attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
12. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket or table specified by the manufacturer or sold with the apparatus. When
a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus to avoid injury from tip-over.
13. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in
any way, such as power supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the
apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
15. The +12V trigger only outputs 12Vdc signal for triggering. Do not connect to any other power input or output. This could
cause damage to this unit.
16. Keep the packing material in case the equipment should ever need to be shipped.
17. The lamp becomes extremely hot during operation. Allow the projector to cool down for approximately 45 minutes prior to
removing the lamp assembly for replacement.
18. Do not operate lamps beyond the rated lamp life. Excessive operation of lamps beyond rated life could cause them to explode
in rare occasions.

Introduction
Note
The Vidikron Vision™ Model 65 and Model 75 have been engineered for the top quality
1080p picture performance and installation flexibility heretofore associated with projectors
costing far more.
The Vision 65/75's 1920 x 1080 native resolution DLP™ light engine features state-of-the-art
technology for bright, pristine, high-definition images at today’s highest available resolution.
Contrast ratio and dynamic range extend to new heights with Vidikron's exclusive V²
Aperture Control™ (VAC), an electronically-controlled iris system. The Vision Model 75 takes
this technology a step further with DynamicBlack™, which analyzes the program material and
adjusts the iris automatically, in real time to maximize contrast and dynamic range at all
times.
The standard Vision 65/75 is equipped with a precision optics package offering zoom, focus
and lens shift controls and a throw range of 1.88:1 to 2.19:1.
The Vision 65/75's illumination system incorporates Vidikron's exclusive DualV Stage
Illumination™ (DVSI™), which provides two light intensity levels to allow maximum flexibility
for screen size, ambient light conditions, brightness and contrast balance, and lamp life
preservation. It also has a newly refined cooling system, which increases efficiency and
reduces noise levels.
The Vision 65/75 has been engineered to comply with Imaging Science Foundation™ (ISF)
standards for maximum home theater image quality. Vidikron's sophisticated parameters for
white balance and color gamut control have also been implemented for precise balance of
gray scale and color. The Vision 65/75 incorporates Vidikron-proprietary de-interlacing
technology that provides exceptional scaling and film-to-video (3:2 pull-down) conversion
for the most artifact-free images possible.
1.3 Description, Features and Benefits
For uncompromising widescreen reproduction of movies originally filmed in the “scope”
(2.35:1) format, the Vision 65/75 can be equipped with Vidikron’s patent-pending CineWide
technology, a combination of software, electronics and high-quality anamorphic optics.
CineWide maintains constant vertical height on the screen just as in a movie theater. When a
viewer transitions from 1.78:1 (16:9) program material to 2.35:1, the image simply gets wider
while full height is maintained. Also available with the Vision 65/75 is CineWide with
AutoScope, an enhanced, remote-controlled version of CineWide.
CineWide requires the use of a 2.35:1 or similar aspect ratio superwide format
screen.
Discrete IR and RS-232 control make custom installation seamless, while discrete source and
aspect ratio selection accommodate any automation control system.

3Installation
To install batteries in the remote control, push the
battery cover and slide it off. Install the two AAA
batteries with the correct polarity and then replace
the cover.
• Do not mix an old battery with a new one or different types of batteries.
• If you will not use the remote control for a long time, remove the batteries to avoid
damage from battery leakage.
• Make sure that there is nothing obstructing the infrared beam between the remote
control and the IR receiver on the projector.
• If the effective range of the remote control decreases, or it stops working, replace the
batteries with new ones.
• The remote control may fail to operate if the infrared remote sensor is exposed to bright
sunlight or fluorescent lighting.
• Ambient conditions may possibly impede the operation of the remote control. If this
happens, point the remote control at the projector, and repeat the operation.
3.1 Remote Control
Notes on Batteries• Make sure that the battery polarities are correct when installing the batteries.
