Video slide projector

The VideoMate 7500XY will accept all 80 and 140
Carousel, Ektagraphic and SAV slide trays. We
recommend the 80 slide tray for maximum reliability.
1. Check that the base plate of the slide tray, located
on the underside on the slide tray, is locked into
the zero position and cannot be rotated. (If the
base plate is not locked into the zero position,
when you try to advance the tray, you will hear the
slide advance mechanism working, but the tray will
not advance.)
2. Load the slides upside down for normal front
projection. Replace and lock the cover to prevent
damage in case the tray is dropped or turned over.
3. Place the loaded tray into its zero position on the
projector's transport ring. The cleft in the slide tray
(zero position) fits into the notch of the transport
ring.
Before you switch on the projector, please make sure
that the tray setting switch is in the correct position.
Projectors are often installed on racks where tray
installation may be difficult and only possible from the
rear of the projector. In this case, the tray positioning
index mark on the back of the projector is very helpful:
The tray is properly set when the index mark aligns
with the mark placed on the tray (at slide #20 of the 80
slide tray and at slide #35 on the 140 slide tray).
Slides are changed by using the slide forward/reverse
button on the control panel.
The VideoMate 7500XY can sense when there is a
slide in the gate. Only then will the shutter open and
the lamp achieve its optimum brightness. It is no
longer necessary to use dark slides when the slide
gate is empty.
Always lift the slide tray off when it is in the zero
position. The zero positioning indicator lights up when
the slide transport ring is in the zero position.
