STILL FRAME AND REVERSE PROJECTION
To still frame the picture, depress the STILL PICTURE
CLUTCH (4) lever. The image will be very dark in still
frame. The lever must be fully depressed or film frames
may get burned. If the shutter is blocking the picture,
turn the INCHING KNOB (6) in either direction until the
image is no longer blocked.
For reverse projection, simply turn the FUNCTION
LEVER (16) counterclockwise to the lamp position.
REWINDING
To rewind, wait until the film has run all the way through
the projector and attach the loose end to the supply reel.
Leaving the FUNCTION LEVER (16) in STOP, move the
REWIND/OPERATE LEVER (3) down to the REWIND
position. If this lever is pressed down when film is
threaded through the projector, the film will tear. (To
rewind when the film is threaded, turn the FUNCTION
KNOB (16) to REVERSE as explained under
'Reverse Projection.')
After the film is rewound, put the REWIND LEVER (3)
back up to its normal position to stop the motor.
After removing both reels from the arms, push the ARM
LOCKING BUTTONS (1 & 14) and lower the arms.
Turn off the volume control switch. Replace the front
cover and the plastic cover. The plastic cover should be
used to carry the take-up reel and the spare lamps.
CHANGING LAMPS
The Eiki projector has two lamps: a PROJECTION
LAMP and an EXCITER LAMP, which picks up the
optical audio track on the film.
To change either lamp, first disconnect the projector
from the power source and pull out on the top edge of
the LAMP HOUSING to remove it.
To change the PROJECTION LAMP, first pull the black
HEAT SHIELD away from the projector. Then pull the
wire release lever located above the lamp toward you.
The lamp may pop out, so be prepared to catch it.
Make sure the replacement lamp snaps into place;
proper seating is essential.
To change the EXCITER LAMP, pull out on the black
EXCITER LAMP
COVER. Push in on
the lamp and turn it
counterclockwise to
remove it. Insert the
new lamp with the
notch on the base
flange in the upper
right position. Turn it
clockwise, clean
fingerprints from the
lamp, then replace
the covers.
