INSTRUCTIONS

INTRODUCTION

Congratulations

on

the

purchase

of

your

new

KODAK

EKTAGRAPHIC

AudioViewer/Projector.

Please

study

this

instruction

manual.

Knowing

how

your

Audio¬

Viewer/Projector

works

will

help

you

to

communicate

your

message

to

your

audience

more

effectively.

The

current

family

of

KODAK

EKTAGRAPHIC

AudioViewerI

Projectors

has

four

models:

the

Models

220,

270,

470,

and

570AF.

The

Model

220

is

a

minimum-investment

machine

for

playback

of

synchronized

soimd-slide

programs

for

almost

any

application

in

which

automatic

slide

projection

with

sound

for

an

individual

or

a

small

group

is

required.

The

Model

570AF

provides

additional

features

for

maximum

equip¬

ment

versatility,

such

as

autofocus

capability

and

a

variable

electronic

timer

for

silent

automatic

slide

advance.

The

Models

270

and

470

offer

a

range

of

features

in

between

these

two

models

to

satisfy

your

particular

needs.

IMPORTANT:

This

instruction

manual

explains

all

of

the

operational

features

of

our

top-of-the-line

AudioViewer/

Piojector—the

Model

570Ar.

It

therefore

describes

in

detail

features

that

your

AudioViewer/Projector

may

not

have.

To

become

familiar

with

the

features

provided

by

your

Audio-

Viewer/

Projector,

and

to

make

this

instruction

manual

as

useful

to

you

as

possible,

scan

the

list

of

then

study

the

“Feature

so

that

you

will

be

able

to

that

apply

to

your

machine.

(For

your

convenience,

specific

AudioViewer/Projector

models

are

identified

in

the

instructions,

where

a.

The

b.

The

motor

and

will

also

start

but

the

built-in

viewing

screen

(or

built-in

front-projec¬

tion

lens)

will

remain

be¬

cause

the

dark-screen

Screen

5.

Set

the

projection-lamp

switch

(HI/

LO/EXT)

to

the

low

(LO)

position.

a.

Low

(LO)

is

normally

used

for

projecting

images

onto

the

built-in

viewing

screen,

b.

High

(HI)

is

normally

used

for

a

brighter

image

when

project¬

ing

onto

an

external

front

screen

(using

the

built-in

front-

projection

lens).

Using

high

Preparing

EKTAGRAPHIC

AudioViewer/

is

challenging—and

fun!

If

you’ve

never

done

much

writing

be¬

fore,

the

prospect

of

turning

out

an

entire

script

may

make

you

nervous.

If

so,

relax.

Writing

is

easier

if

you

tackle

he

job

in

stages

and

allow

enough

time.

We

suggest

novice

producers

write

the

narration

first,

before

they

consid¬

er

the

visuals

to

illustrate

it.

Gathering

and

Organizing

Your

Ideas

Hold

a

brainstorming

session

and

write

down

as

many

ideas

for

your

script

as

you

can

think

of.

Use

a

3

X

5-inch

card

for

each

idea.

Review

all

of

the

cards

and

determine

five

or

six

major

subject

headings

that

cover

all

your

ideas.

Writing

the

Outline

Next,

organize

the

cards

under

the

major

headings

and

discard

redun¬

dant

cards.

Add

new

ones

as

you

think

of

new

ideas.

Now

put

the

cards

in

order.

This

will

give

you

a

good

start

on

the

first

draft

of

the

outline.

Nximber

the

cards

so

they

can

be

easily

rearranged

in

correct

order

if

they

are

dropped.

Writing

the

outline

should

be

easy

if

you

follow

the

order

of

the

cards.

Leave

five

or

six

blank

lines

between

each

major

heading

(to

be

filled

in

later

with

more

detailed

information).

When

you’re

satisfied

with

the

out¬

line,

you

may

want

to
