    4.If you are mounting the projector on a ceiling: Line up the four holes on the projector 
    ceiling mounting plate (included with the projector ceiling mount kit) with those on the 
    bottom of the projector.
     
    5. Secure the CineWide base plate (and ceiling mounting plate, if needed) to the projector 
    with the M6x12mm screws (item #1) and nylon spacers provided with the CineWide lens 
    base plate.

    Mounting the Vision 65/75
    There are several methods for mounting the projector. Depending on your chosen 
    installation, one method may be more suitable than another. 
    Floor Mounting (Upright)In typical front and rear screen installations, the projector can be placed upright on a secure 
    and level surface such as a table or cart. Carts are useful when moving a projector during a 
    presentation or from site to site. If possible, lock the wheels when it’s in position to prevent it 
    from being moved during a presentation.
    Ceiling Mounting (Inverted)For fixed installations, and for those that want the projector out of sight or have a limited 
    space for projector and audience, you can invert the Vision 65/75 and suspend it from the 
    ceiling using a specially-designed ceiling mount fixture. 
     
    The projector can also be inverted and placed in an enclosure above and behind the viewing 
    area. Install four feet on the inside bottom surface of the enclosure on which the projector 
    can rest. A variety of materials can be used for this purpose (for example, rubber crutch tips 
    or turntable feet). 
    The hole pattern on the CineWide base plate is identical to that on the 
    ceiling mounting plate.
    1. Do not use the mounting screws provided with the ceiling mounting 
    plate. Use only the hardware provided with the CineWide lens base 
    plate. 
    2. DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN THE SCREWS. 
    Note
    Caution
    Use only the Vidikron-approved ceiling mount kit designed for your 
    projector (part number 956-0259-00). Install the mount kit according to 
    the instructions provided with it. 
    Tighten all screws securely, but do not over-tighten them. This is 
    particularly important when ceiling-mounting a Vision 65/75/CineWide 
    with AutoScope, because the anamorphic lens and lens motor shift the 
    center of gravity toward the front of the projector. 
    Caution

    Adjusting the Projector 
    Height or Projection Angle
    If the screen is significantly higher or lower than the projector, you can also tilt the projector 
    at a slight angle. In a ceiling installation, you do this by adjusting the ceiling mount. 
    For a floor installation, turn the four adjustable 
    feet on the bottom of the projector to adjust 
    the projector height and/or projection angle. 
    If you do this, you may need to make keystone 
    adjustments or vertically shift the image using 
    the on-screen display (OSD) controls, to 
    compensate. For detailed instructions, refer to 
    Using the On-Screen Menus on page 44.

    Connections to the Vision 
    65/75
    Proceed as follows to connect the Vision 65/75 to your video sources, external controller(s) – 
    if present – and AC power.
    When connecting your equipment:
     Turn off all equipment before making any connections.
     Use the correct signal cables for each source.
     Ensure that the cables are securely connected. Tighten the thumbscrews on connectors 
    that have them.
    Connector Panel AccessTo access the connector panel, press 
    the door release button so it pops out. 
    Turn the knob clockwise or 
    counter-clockwise and pull gently on it 
    to open the door. 
    Connecting Source 
    Components to the Vision 
    65/75
    Connect your video sources to the Vision 65/75 as shown and described in the sections that 
    follow. 
    HDMI/DVI Connections: See Figure 3-10. With an HDMI source, use the included 
    HDMI-to-HDMI cable; with a DVI source, use the included DVI-to-HDMI cable. 
    Figure 3-10. HDMI/DVI Source Connections
    Use the HDMI input whenever possible. This ensures the highest video 
    quality because the signal is carried in the digital domain throughout the 
    entire signal path, from source component output into the projector.

    Connecting to AC PowerProjector: The Vision 65/75 ships 
    with various types of AC power 
    cords. Choose the one that is 
    appropriate to your locale. 
    Plug the female end of the power 
    cord into the AC receptacle on the 
    rear of the projector (AC 100V ~ 
    240V). Then, connect the other end 
    to your AC power source.
    AutoScope Lens Motor: With AutoScope-equipped projectors, an additional power cord is 
    provided for the lens motor. Plug the female end of the AC power cord into the AC input on 
    the rear of the lens motor assembly. Connect the other end to a 110
     VAC power source. 
    3.7 
    Turning on the Power
    1. Turn on your source components. 
    2. If this is an AutoScope-equipped projector, turn on the main power switch at the rear of 
    the AutoScope lens motor. The lens motor power switch is located next to the AC input 
    (see above). 
    3. Turn on the main power switch at the rear of the projector. The POWER LED lights 
    orange. The LAMP and TEMP LEDs light red briefly, then go out. 
    4. Press the ON button on the remote control to turn on the Vision 65/75. The POWER LED 
    flashes green to indicate that it is warming up. 
    5. When the projector is ready for use, the POWER LED lights solid green. 
    6. “[Input Name] Source Searching” appears on the screen before the Vision 65/75 
    identifies the input signal and remains there until a valid signal is detected. 
    ➤
    The input voltage to the AutoScope lens motor must be between 100 and 
    120 VAC. Do not connect the AutoScope lens motor to a 200-240
     VAC 
    power source!

    Focus and ZoomTo focus the projected image, grasp the lens by the outer 
    ring and rotate it. 
    To make the picture smaller (zoom out) or larger (zoom in), 
    move the zoom tab in the appropriate direction. 
    Vertical Lens ShiftTo shift the projected image vertically, press the LENS button, 
    then press and hold the up or down-arrow ( 
    ,  ) button.

    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. 
    Vidikron offers two types of anamorphic lenses for its CineWide projectors: prismatic and 
    cylindrical.
     The prismatic lens compresses the height of the image (as opposed to stretching the 
    width) to achieve a 2.35:1 aspect ratio with a 1.78:1 display device. 
     The cylindrical anamorphic lens has a larger aperture than the prismatic lens. It stretches 
    the width of the image to achieve a 2.35:1 aspect ratio with a 1.78:1 display device. Two, 
    cylindrical anamorphic lens options are available: Rainier II and McKinley. Although they 
    differ in size and throw distance range (refer to 
    Table 3-3), the installation procedure for 
    both lenses is similar. 
    The Vision 65/CineWide and Vision 75/CineWide are available with either a prismatic or a 
    cylindrical anamorphic lens; the Vision 65/CineWide with AutoScope and Vision 75/CineWide 
    with AutoScope always use a cylindrical lens. 
    If you are installing a CineWide projector with a prismatic lens, refer to Whitney (Prismatic) 
    Anamorphic Lens Installation and Adjustment on page 40. If you are installing a CineWide 
    projector with a cylindrical lens, continue with the next section. 
    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
