secure the lens in place.
Adjusting the Yaw: Loosen the Yaw/Z-Adjustment Levers to allow the lens to pivot freely

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.
