INTRODUCTION Should projector servicing be required, service personnel can use the keypad to make service adjustments and alignments. In some cases the projector may be serviced without accessing the projector’s internal circuitry. Projector settings, usually different for different sources, are stored in memory for each individual source. These settings are retained until changed by the user, even if power is removed from the projector. Construction ➤ The projector body is comprised of a stur

Most curved screens have different horizontal and vertical viewing angles. Incident light does not reflect equally in all directions. The reflected light concentrates in a conical volume or “viewing cone”. Audiences within the viewing cone see a brighter image than that from an equal area on a flat scree
