~u have chosen a EUMIG sound movie projector because you are moving with the times and are no longer
content with silent films. Your selection of an H.Q.S. unit (High Quality Sound = top performance in magnetic sound films) not only provides the features of simple and straightforward projection and sound recording, but also offers a supreme

sound experience.

The Mark S 8100 LUX H.Q.S. is designed for those who require the utmost optical performance and light output in a movie projector. The high class exceptionally fast f/l.2 "Suprogon" zoom lens with its 12.5-25 mm focal length range plus the ideal design of the lighting system yields about 35% more light flux on a 44% larger screen area than H.Q.S. models with the standard 15-30 mm f/1.3 lens at the same projection distance. Carefully read the notes on the following pages: They will help you to get considerable pleasure from adding
a further dimension to your films, after all, you have acquired a sound projector because you are no longer prepared to
make do with silent movies.

Before connecting to the mains supply.
. there are a few points which are vitally important for correct operation of the projector: The voltage and frequency of your projector must match those indicated on your mains supply meter. a) Voltage If the mains voltage does not match, unscrew the fixing screws A, remove the back,
pull off the red plug B towards the left and attach it to the correct terminal.
Some supply systems are liable to carry temporary overvoltages which can lead to premature projection lamp failure. Where this arises, it is best to adjust the projector to the next higher voltage setting (for instance 230 volts instead of 220 volts). This also extends the burning life of the lamp while slightly reducing the light output.

b) Frequency The frequency setting can be changed only on special version of the projector. To do this, pull off the blue plug C and attach it to the correct terminal. Move the lever D so that the appropriate frequency indication appears horizontal. The Transport Lock. For safety in transport, the motor is secured in its central position by two retaining screws E. Before you first connect the projector to the mains supply, these screws must be removed (unless your photo dealer has already done this for you).
Changing the film gauge with the Mark S 810 D H. Q. S. and Mark'S LUX H. Q. S.
Normally EUMIG multi-gauge projectors are supplied ready for showing Super-8 film. They are however easily converted to projecting standard-8 film. Proceed as follows:
Remove the lamphouse cover. Open the sprocket guards, pull off the film sprockets and replace by the alternative sprockets fitted inside the lamphouse cover. Push on to engage, turning the sprocket if necessary. Then close both sprocket guards. Turn the milled knob at the back of the projector to bring the red dot to the top. (This retracts the claw to prevent damage.) Fully move the lens forward with the focusing knob, push the film pressure pad towards the lens and pull out. Push the film guide towards the lens, carefully withdraw and replace by the alternative guide E held inside the housing. Push the guide in fully, then press to the left to engage the guide pins. Replace the film pressure pad 0 by the alternative pad D. Fit the light grey adapter sleeve over the reel spindle for Super-8 and single-8 projection. Switch over the sound changeover switch when changing gauges.

Automatic threading

The film automatically threads itself through to the take-up reel core. An ingenious system automatically sets the correct picture/sound separation (18 frames with Super-8 and Single-8, 56 frames with standard-8). A few points are however important for perfect operation of the automatic threading system: The sprocket guards must be closed, all splices must be perfect and the film should have a leader about 20 inches (50 cm) long. The end of this leader should be slightly curved inwards (clockwise as seen from the reel side of the projector), cleanly trimmed and - especially important - free from creases. Use the film trimmer supplied. Fully depress. the threading key; insert the film only with the main switch set to "threading".

starts pre-heating the lamp to ensure maximum operating life. Erect the reel arms and mount the reels. The full reel goes on the front arm, the empty one on the rear arm. When you look towards the screen from behind the projector, the film perforations must be on the right - i. e. towards you as you thread the film from the side. When using a 600 foot (180 metre) reel - for instance the EUMIG universal AS 21 reel raise the catch and swing the reel arm fully upwards. Move the m~in switch to "threading" Do not thread with the switch set to "forward projection" '0'. Press the threading key, which closes the film channel. Then guide the film leader into the threading slot. Important: Keep the threading key depressed until the film runs onto the take-up reel. 7. Turn the main switch to "forward projection" '0'.

. ~:' ."

Important: When operating the projector, do not obstruct the air stream emerging from the ventilation slots. If due to perforation damage or other causes the image appears unsteady on the screen or the projector rattles during running (or both), briefly depress the threading key during projection. If this does not help, briefly switch from forward to reverse projection (or vice versa). Films can vary appreciably in their handling characteristics, especially with thin film bases. If such films should-fail to engage in the take-up reel, guide the film leader into the reel core by hand.
Once the film is threaded and the projector running:
Adjust the projected image size by turning the zooming ring. Focus the image sharply by turning the fine focusing control. Adjust the frame line control if parts of two frames appear on the screen with a frame line between them. Adjust the elevation control. For reverse projection, turn the main central switch to "reverse projection"
the film now runs backwards. When you change the
running direction the frame line may need adjustment. Rapid rewind: After the film has run through, attach the end directly to the front reel over the projector and turn the main switch to "reverse" -c)-.
When projecting sound films, adjust to the required playback volume by turning the volume control to the right.
At the end of every show always turn the main switch back to "stop"

Changing the running speed
Important: Before changing the running speed, always turn the main switch to "stop" of minutes before projection to allow the flywheel speed to stabilise.

SOUND RECORDING

Easy recording with striped film and automatic controls
Sound recording is supremely easy with EUMIG projectors, because they are designed for magnetic sound films. Once your film has been striped (your photo dealer can get that done for you), you use your EUMIG sound projector virtually like a tape recorder. The fully transistorised sound section with integrated circuits and automatic recording level control works largely on its own, so that you can devote your full attention to the film.
Before you start The EUMIG universal re-recording lead
The EUMIG universal re-recordinglead, available as an accessory from photo dealer (Order No. 790.0260/2) is a valuable aid to sound recording, as it links most audio units to your projector. Further details on page 16.
Sound recording procedure
Recording through the microphone Recording music
This is the simplest and most straightforward way of recording sound.
Here music is re-recorded directly from a cassette recorder, record player etc. You can cut in the music abruptly or dissolve gradually.

Sound mixing

Here you mix speech or commentary into an already recorded music background while running the film through the projector a second time. The music background is at the same time suitably attenuated.
Recording through the microphone
The amplifier incorporates a novel AGFC recording control system (automatic gain and frequency response control) so that the recording always conveys the correct oral impression whether the microphone is close to, or further away from, the sound source. Connect the projector to the mains supply and insert a striped film.
Turn the mixing control fully to the right to engage. Connect the microphone to the socket marked 00. To avoid acoustic feedback (whistling), turn the volume control fully to the left ,i. Press the red recording key. Switch the projector to "forward projection".

Recording music

Usefull aids available for this from EUMIG are the re-recording lead already mentioned and a music and sound effects record or compact cassette (also available from photo dealers) with a wide selection of music passages and general sound effects (see page 25).

The procedure is simple:

o Connect the tape, recorder, record player etc. to the socket marked oa. e Turn the mixing control fully to the right to engage ji.;.
Press the red recording key. Turn the main switch all the way to "forward projection". sound being recorded can be monitored via the built-in speaker. Use the volume control to adjust the sound volume as required.
Music dissolves A soft dissolve from one piece of music to another is suitable for cuts between similar shots.

Reverse projection

1. Record the music for scene No.1. Stop the projector just
after scene No. 2 appears on the screen. (The recording key automatically jumps out.) Switch the main switch to "reverse projection" and run the film back about 3 or 4 seconds beyond the cut.
2. Turn the mixing control fully to the left, press the recording key and turn the main switch all the way to "forward projection". Then gradually turn the mixing control to the right until it engages. At the same time run the record or tape to record the music for scene No.2.
Abrupt music cuts For transistions between greatly differing shots an abrupt music cut is more appropriate. Here the mixing control always remains fully turned to the right and engaged.
1. Terminate the first recording and wind the film back exactly to the point of the cut. As the projection lamp glows weakly (pre-heating) even with the main switch set to "stop", a faint projected image is visible and you can accurately locate this point by turning the inching knob which is next to the recording key.
2. Press the recording key, turn the main switch all the way to "forward projection" and record the music for scene No.2.
Often background music is all you need. But sometimes you may want to add a spoken commentary or special sound effects. This is easy with the mixing control.
Once the music is recorded, re-thread the film and insert the microphone into the socket 00. Then:
Turn the mixing control fully to the left. Turn the volume control also fully to the left. Switch to sound recording: press the recording key. Turn the main switch all the way to "forward projection".
5. Before speaking into the microphone turn the mixing control to the right; this attenuates the background music and records the spoken commentary. You can control the degree of music attenuation and the recording level of the mixed-in commentary as required by adjusting the mixing control. If you speak a brief cue word for instance "attention, recording" into the microphone immediately before operating the mixing control, the automatic recording level control suppresses unwanted room noise during mixing. 6. When you have finished speaking, turn the mixing control back to the left. This ends the mixing sequence and the music regains its original level. This sequence of fading in and out is carried out for every speech passage. As with microphone recording (described already), turning the main switch back to "stop" disengages the recording setting.

Low mixing - in level slight attenuation ~ 2

High mixing-in level -

high attenuation

la4_OfmUSlC

Operating controls

1. Switching to recording. First press the red recording key (which causes the red signal lamp to light up) and then quickly turn the main switch past the Ilthreading" position to Ilforward projection" You can only record sound with the main switch in this position and the recording key depressed. On turning the switch back to "threading" or "stop" the projector automatically returns to the playback mode to prevent inadvertent erasure.
2. The mixing control, as we have seen, permits soft music dissolves and over recording of commentary or sound effects while attenuating an already recorded music background. In this sound recording mode the yellow mixing signal lamp lights up. As marked on the scale, you can also have intermediate positions. With the knob turned fully to the left, the sound unit does not record; in the left hand half of the scale you have a low level of mixed-in recording and low attenuation of music. In" the right hand scale range you have a high level of mixed-in recording and considerable music attenuation. The extreme hand position provides full recording and complete erasure of previous recordings.
3. The volume control adjusts the playback volume, and the monitoring volume during re-recording from audio units connected to the projector. As the recording level is controlled automatically, the position of this control during recording has no effect on the recording level. But to avoid acoustic feedback (whistling) while recording through the microphone, keep the volume control fully turn to the left.
4. Erasure of a previous sound recording takes place automatically during every new recording. The only exception is during mixing (page 12). But you can also erase a track without recording a new one, by sWitching the main switch to "forward projection" without a microphone or other sound source connected.
5. Connecting supplementary units. You can also connect an external speaker to set up near the screen by connecting it to the socket This switches off the built-in speaker. For optimum playback quality and a full frequency range we recommend the LS 800 extension speaker which is matched to your projector (Order No. 790.0350/3).
When connecting several speakers check that the total impedance is at least 4 ohms. Two 4 ohm speakers wired in parallel only have an impedance of 2 ohms.
You can. also feed the projector output into an external amplifier. Plug this into the line output ~ Check that the connecting lead is correctly wired.

The EUMIG Universal Re-recording Lead
Order No. 790.0260/2 Unfortunately, audio units do not have standardised output sockets, nor are connecting reads always wired the same way. EUMIG has therefore produced a universal re-recording lead to connect practically any audio source to your sound movie projector. With the adapters provided you can plug the lead into almost any audio unit on the market. The lead is easy to handle:

Sound source

Adaptor

I I I I

Proiector

1. Select the appropriate adapter and plug it into the audio unit to be used.
2. Connect the lead to the projector 00. 3. Plug the other end of the lead into the adapter.

---t---

4. If the projector does not record properly (too Iowa sound level or distorted sound) due to a mismatch with the circuit of the audio unit, try plugging the lead into the adapter with reversed polarity.
5. If the recording level is still too low you Should the reverse polarity plug between the projector, and recording lead.

Changing the lamp
(disconnect the mains lead first)
Required lamp type: 12 volt/watt tungsten-halogen lamp with dichroic reflector, Order No. 931.004/6. Not even the best lamp lasts for ever. If it fails you can easily change it yourself. 1. Remove the lamphouse cover.
Pull off the lamp plug from the rear. Push down the lamp retaining spring and disengage by swinging to the left, then remove the lamp. With multi-gauge projectors take care not to move the coils on the sound change-over switch for film gauge switching.
4. Fitting the new lamp: Never touch the bulb or inside of the reflector with bare If you touch them accidentally, clean with alcohol or methylated spirit. Lift the retaining spring and push the lamp, in contact with the lamp fitting, into the bottom centering guide. The centering of the lamp reflector must engage the cut-out provided for it. 5. Push down the lamp retaining spring and engage by moving to the right. The lamp unit needs no subsequent centering. 6. Re-attach the lamp plug and replace the lamphouse cover.

Replacing the fuse

The fuse rarely needs changing, but here is how you do it: The fuse protects the amplifier against overloads, but does not protect the projector against damage through connection to the incorrect mains voltage. Remove the back cover; the fuse is then visible at the left of the amplifier circuit board.

Cartridge fuse 5 x 20 mm; 2 amps, surge-resisting. Order No. 906.721 For USA: Cartridge fuse 2.5 amps, Order No. 906.702/4.
Care of the projector and general hints
EUMIG sound projectors generally need no maintenance, as all moving parts are permanently lubricated. The only sensitive points are the film track and gate which may collect dust and film debris. Remove this with a soft rag or a sable brush, or by scraping _with a wooden stick if necessary. The film gate elements are easily removed for cleaning. Turn the milled knob (15) - see page 2 claw to protect it against damage. to bring the red dot to the top. This withdraws the
Move the lens fully forward by turning the focusing knob. Push the film pressure pad towards the lens and withdraw. Push the film guide towards the lens and carefully withdraw.
Important note: The lens is fully removable on slightly pulling out the focusing knob and withdrawing the lens from the carrier tube. The lens can now also be cleaned. Before replacing check that the engagement groove of the lens faces you (see illustration). Now push the lens into the carrier until it engages audibly.

Film care

Various film preservatives are available from photo dealers; use them for periodic treatment of your films. The best way is to run the film through a soft cloth soaked with the cleaning agent. Films to be striped should only be cleaned with a soft and fluffless linen cloth dampened with surgical spirit. Important notes for good sound quality with striped film: As with any high quality sound recording and reproducing system, sound quality depends on the specifications of your recording unit and the condition of the striped film. At 18 fps your EUMIG High Quality Sound projector reproduces a frequency range from 75 to 10,000 Hz with a running speed constant within 0.4% (measured according to German Standard DIN 45 507). The newly developed pressure pad reduces level fluctuations below 3 dB at 5 kHz - half the level of existing standards. 1. Check that splices are neat and preferably within the film thickness. 2. To avoid noise interference at splices edge stripe the film only after editing. Use a high quality stripe, for instance Agfa F5. 3. Do not use any antistatic agent before striping, as this can impair adhesion of the stripe. 4. Store films pr,(}tected against dut, preferably in film cans with humidifier added. 5. In order to take maxJmum advantage of the possibilities of the projector you should use only high quality audio sources. 6. For playback connect an external speaker (Eumig LS 800, Order No. 790.0350/3).
