Attach Lens Mounting Assembly to Lens Motor Carriage Plate: 
1. Remove the two Yaw/X Adjustment Levers (item #8) from the bottom of the Anamorphic 
Lens Holder (item #5).
2. Place the Anamorphic Lens Holder on top of the AutoScope Carriage Plate (item #7). 
Position the bracket so that the long slot at the bottom of the lens holder is 
perpendicular to the corresponding slots on the carriage plate.
3. Secure the Anamorphic Lens Holder to the plate using the Hex Bolts/Washers (item #6) 
and Yaw/X Adjustment Levers that you removed in Step 1. 
4. Use the Lens Mounting Screws to attach the Lens Adapter Ring (item #1) to the Pitch 
Adjustment Yoke (item #2); see 
Figure 3-18. (Use the round, threaded holes on the yoke.) 
5. Use the Height/Y Adjustment T-Screws (item #3), Pitch Adjustment T-Screws (item #4) 
and T-Nuts (item #9) to attach the Pitch Adjustment Yoke and Lens Adapter Ring to the 
Anamorphic Lens Holder. The Yoke should be as close to the primary lens as possible. 
6. Attach the lens to the Lens Adapter Ring by threading it clockwise.

Configure Lens Motor Trigger: CineWide with AutoScope maintains constant image height 
independent of the aspect ratio, while using the full display resolution of the projector. It 
accomplishes this by moving the anamorphic lens in front of the primary lens when 
widescreen material is being viewed. When the viewer transitions back to 16:9 or 4:3 source 
material, the anamorphic lens moves out of the light path.
To configure the lens motor trigger on the Vision 65/75 for proper AutoScope operation: 
1. Press MENU on the remote control.
2. Select Setup from the Main menu and press ENTER. 
3. Use the number buttons on the remote to enter the Setup menu passcode when 
prompted and press ENTER again. Then, press MENU on the remote control. 
4. Select 12-volt Trigger from the Setup menu. 
5. Set the 12-volt Trigger to “Cinema.” This enables the lens motor to move the anamorphic 
lens into position (in front of the primary lens) when the Cinema or IntelliWide 2.35 
aspect ratio is selected. 
6. Select the Cinema or IntelliWide 2.35 aspect ratio to move the anamorphic lens into 
position, if it isn’t already. To do this, press CINEMA or IWIDE 2.35 on the Vision 65/75 
remote control (
Figure 2-4). 
Adjusting the Horizontal (X) Lens Position: 
1. Project a white field on the screen. 
2. Loosen the Yaw/X-Adjustment Levers underneath the lens. 
3. Slowly move the anamorphic lens into place so that there are no shadows on either side 
of the screen: 
4. When the horizontal position is properly set, tighten the Yaw/X-Adjustment Levers to 
secure the lens in place.

Adjusting the Height (Y): With the white field still on-screen, loosen the 
Height/Y
 Adjustment T-Screws on either side of the lens. Then, slowly move the anamorphic 
lens into place so that there are no shadows on the top or bottom of the screen: 
When the height is properly set, tighten the Height Adjustment T-Screws to secure the lens 
in place.
Adjusting the Pitch (Angle): Next, angle the lens to even out any top-to-bottom pincushion 
distortion. To do this, loosen the Pitch Adjustment T-Screws (directly below the 
Height/Y
 Adjustment T-Screws) on either side of the lens to allow it to pivot freely. Then, 
adjust the anamorphic lens angle so that the projected image is rectangular: 
The anamorphic lens will almost always be angled with respect to the projector; this is 
normal.
Once the proper lens angle has been set, firmly tighten the Pitch Adjustment T-Screws to 
secure the lens in place. 
There may be some pincushion distortion even after the lens is properly 
adjusted, especially at shorter throw distances. If this is the case, Vidikron 
recommends that you slightly over-scan the image into the screen frame 
area to mask the distortion.

Adjusting the Yaw: Loosen the Yaw/X-Adjustment Levers to allow the lens to pivot freely 
from side to side. Then, angle the lens to even out any left-right pincushion distortion: 
Once the proper lens angle has been set, firmly tighten the Yaw/X-Adjustment Levers to 
secure the lens in place. 
Adjusting the Geometry: 
1. Input an anamorphic cross-hatch test pattern to the projector.
2. Unscrew the Anamorphic Lens just enough to allow it to rotate freely.
3. Grasp the lens by the center ring and rotate the lens until the image is properly 
anamorphic: 
4. When the image geometry appears correct, tighten the Anamorphic 
Lens Set Screw (item #10) to secure the lens in place. (When viewed 
from the front, the rear opening on the anamorphic lens should 
appear as a tall, narrow oval.)

Anamorphic Lens Installation 
and Adjustment 
The Whitney (Prismatic) Anamorphic lens mount kit consists of everything shown in Figure 
3-19. Some components shipped with your projector may differ slightly from what is shown 
in these instructions.

1. Use the Pitch/Y-Adjustment Screws and Washers (item #6) to attach the Vertical 
Mounting Brackets (item #5) to the Anamorphic Lens (item
 #1). 
2. Place the lens with the brackets installed on top of (or under, if the projector is inverted) 
the Base Plate (item #2), so that the two threaded posts at the bottom of the brackets 
pass through the corresponding slots on the base plate.
3. Secure the lens assembly to the base plate with the Yaw/Z-Adjustment Knobs and 
Washers (item #4).

Adjusting the Lens Height (Y): 
1. Project a white field on the screen.
2. Ensure that the Pitch/Y-Adjustment Screws are loose enough to allow vertical 
movement of the lens assembly. 
3. Slowly move the anamorphic lens into place so that there are no shadows on the top or 
bottom of the screen:
 
4. When the height is properly set, tighten the Pitch/Y-Adjustment Screws to secure the 
lens in place.
