Connect the power cords 

Two power cords and two AC adapters shipped with the stereo monitor unit.  
Use only the power cords and adapters supplied with the unit. 

1.

 

Plug an AC adapter into the DC power jack on one monitor.  Attach  
the power cord to the AC adapter.  Then plug the power cord into  
a grounded outlet. Repeat for the other monitor. 

2.

 

Turn on the soft power switch located on the front bezel of  
each LCD monitor. 

3.

 

Power up the computer. 

Check the alignment 

Although the SD2020 unit is aligned during manufacturing, it may require 
realignment after reassembly at your site.  There are two fine adjustment 
screws located on the mirror support arms.  Rotating these screws raises or 
lowers the beamsplitter mirror.  Adjust the screws so that the corners of the 
reflected image of the upper monitor are aligned with the corners of the 
transmitted image from the lower monitor.   

A simple grid pattern might prove useful for this process.  Samples are 
available at 

www.planar.com/stereomirror

.  Confirm the alignment by 

donning the glasses to view the result.   

Perfect alignment is not required since the two images are fused by the visual 
system in the StereoMirror

 

design when the glasses are used.  Give priority 

to alignment in the vertical direction.  While the human eye can perceive 
depth from a small amount of displacement in the horizontal dimension, the 
human visual system has no ability to correlate vertical displacement to depth 
perception.  In fact, coarse vertical misalignment can lead to eye fatigue in 
some users.  Customer feedback and research and testing at Planar verify that 
the StereoMirror

 

design provides excellent extended viewer comfort when 

aligned with the adjustment provided.
