DCR-S1

INSTALLATION GUIDE

(Phillips #2 screwdriver required)

Anamorphic Lens System

CEILING OR SHELF MOUNTING. 

Regardless of the projector 

orientation the DCR retainer should be installed with the prongs closer 
to the ceiling so the Panamorph logo is upright after installation.

ABOUT GEOMETRIC DISTORTION

. Anamorphic vertical 

compression lenses such as the DCR naturally create a slight “barrel” 
shaped curvature especially at the edges of the image. The 

amount of 

this curvature

 is greatest at the minimum recommended projector 

throw ratio of 1.4:1 and 

decreases as the projector is located 

farther back

 from a given screen size. However, most content was 

actually created with more internal geometric distortion than that from 
an anamorphic lens. Once residual edge distortion is masked by the 
edge of the screen the effect becomes quite unnoticeable. Note that at 
least some residual geometric distortion can be reduced using Sony’s 
Calibration Pro software available from both Sony or Panamorph.

CLEANING.

 Small amounts of dust and wipe marks are very 

noticeable on lens surfaces with a high brightness projection beam but 
typically will not impact the image as much as damage from excessive 
cleaning in pursuit of a "perfect" optical surface. Occasionally blowing 
off the lens surfaces with clean air is the best way to keep long term 
performance. If there is any excessive residue or build-up then it is 
recommended that you clean the optics with professional lens cleaning 
supplies such as from a camera store while the lens is in front of the lit 
beam of the projector. This will allow you to quickly see if the cleaning 
process is causing any damage.

IMPORTANT THEATER GUIDANCE

3. 

Throw ratio

 (throw distance divided by screen viewable width) 

should be 

at least 1.4:1

.

1. Projection screen should be 

flat

, in the 

2.4:1

 aspect ratio and with a 

minimum 1.5″ border

.

4. Projector 

vertical position

 should ideally be close to the top of the 

screen with limits of up to 10% of screen height below to 30% of 
screen height above for best performance. Beyond these limits may 
prevent the beam from passing through the lens at low throw ratios.

2. Projector should be horizontally centered on the /- 3 inches 
with minimal horizontal lens shift.
