INSTALL THE DCR LENS RETAINER.

 Remove the two front 

Phillips assembly screws from the lens/mount assembly and 
remove the rear retainer (it comes loosely assembled). 
Squeeze the retainer to fit into the projector lens opening and 

then relax it so that it nests into the inner rim of the opening with the 
prongs level and the gap downward. 

PREPARE THE PROJECTOR. 

Make sure the projector lens is 

horizontally centered in its opening (ie little or no horizontal lens 
shift). Adjust the projector roll, tilt and/or yaw so the projector 

test pattern lines are square to the screen edges and the test 

pattern is centered on the screen. Then ...

Show a 2.4:1 movie

.  Set the Sony anamorphic lens menu setting to 

1.24X

 and the Aspect mode to 

V-Stretch

.  Make sure the projector 

lens is clean and as dust free as possible.  

INSTALL THE DCR LENS.

 Remove the rear DCR lens cover. 

Tilt the DCR lens/mount assembly to insert the bottom mount 
tabs through the bottom retainer gap and behind the projector 
housing rim. Then tilt the assembly back and over the retainer 

prongs. Remove the front protective film; rotate the assembly so that 
any visible edges of the movie appear the same on the left and right; 
then insert and tighten the two assembly screws (do not over tighten).

ADJUST THE LENS TILT AND PROJECTOR SHIFT.

 Adjust 

the projector lens zoom to fill the width of the screen with the 
movie. Tilt the DCR lens in its mount and adjust the projector 
vertical lens shift to make sure the beam is getting through the 

DCR lens to fill the screen. There is only a slight variation in vertical 
image height with this adjustment but experimentation may lead to the 
best fit. Lock the DCR lens tilt by tightening the single Philips tilt lock 
screw. As desired you may want to adjust any panel alignment in the 
projector (see Sony projector instruction manual).

DECIDE HOW TO WATCH 16:9 CONTENT

. The “classic” 

mode to watch 16:9 content is to set the projector anamorphic 
mode to 

Squeeze.

 However, 

V-Stretch

Normal or 2.35:1 

Zoom 

will better fill the full cinema format screen with 16:9 with 

various tradeoffs worth exploring. Note that menus are always created 
in 16:9 so some type of switch from V-Stretch will be necessary to 
show complete menu content.
