Installing and Adjusting 
the CineWide Anamorphic 
Lens
If you are installing a CineWide-equipped projector, proceed as follows to install and adjust 
the anamorphic lens. 
Attach Lens Mounting 
Assembly to Lens Motor 
Carriage Plate (CineWide 
with AutoScope) or Base 
Plate (fixed CineWide)
The Vision 110 Anamorphic lens mount kit consists of everything shown in Figure 3-18. Some 
components shipped with your projector may differ slightly from what is shown in these 
instructions. If any items are missing or damaged, please contact your Vidikron dealer or 
Vidikron Customer Service at (888) 4VIDIKRON.

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 or fixed 
CineWide Base 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 plate.
It is extremely important that the primary lens is properly adjusted 
before you install the anamorphic lens. Ensure that the image from 
the primary lens is perfectly centered on the screen. Note

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 3-19. (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 TriggerCineWide 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 110 for proper AutoScope operation:  
1. Project a 2.35:1 aspect ratio test pattern or other image on the screen. 
2. Press MENU on the remote control and enter the Service menu passcode.
3. Select Service from the Main menu. 
4. Select Trig ge r s from the Service menu. 
5. Assign the trigger output to which the lens motor is connected to the Cinema and 
IntelliWide 2.35 aspect ratios. This enables the lens motor to move the anamorphic lens 
into position (in front of the primary lens) when either aspect ratio is selected. 
6. To save the trigger settings, press  repeatedly to highlight “Save.” Then, press ENTER. 
7. Select the Cinema aspect ratio to move the anamorphic lens into position, if it isn’t 
already. To do this, press CINEMA on the Vision 110 remote control (
Figure 2-4), or press 
 or  repeatedly with no menus visible on-screen. 
Adjust the Anamorphic LensAdjusting 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.
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.) 
 
Focus: Finally, rotate the Focus Ring on the anamorphic lens 
to fine-tune the optical focus.
