Installation Guide: Prepare the Projector: allow the projector lens is horizontally centered, then adjust the tilt, roll, and yaw of the projector to square the test pattern with the screen edges. Install the Proper Lens Retainer: Choose the appropriate retainer based on your projector mount (ceiling or high shelf). Carefully position the retainer in the projector opening and secure it with screws. Mount the CDR Lens: After removing the lens cover, place the CDR lens onto the retainer prongs, allowing it is vertically aligned. Tighten the assembly screws to secure the lens (do not over-tighten). Remove the front protective film. Adjust the Lens Tilt & Projector Shift: Adjust the projector zoom to fill the screen width with a 2.4:1 movie. Tilt the CDR lens and adjust the projector’s vertical lens shift for a good image fit. Lock the tilt with the Phillips tilt lock screw. Final Adjustments: Use the Epson projector’s “Point Correction” and “Panel Alignment” functions to fine-tune the image.
