4. Checks of correct DFP-R3000 Reader mounting.
Do not “hot plug” the Reader!
The Reader gets its power through the cable that connects it to the Decoder. Do not remove or install this
cable while the Decoder power is on. Doing so may cause damage to the Reader and void the warranty.
4.1 Confirm the minimum frame offset.
Specific installation instructions for mounting the Reader to each type of projector are available in the
DFP-R3000 Installation Guide provided with the Reader. Following these instructions will ensure at least
the minimum frame offset between the Reader’s LEDs and the picture gate. The Reader LED offset must
be at least 32 frames ahead of the projector gate. Since the loop ahead of the intermittent affects this
offset, use a nominal loop when making this determination. The maximum total frame offset possible
with the DFP-3000 is 115 frames.
4.2 Check the film path alignment.
Proper alignment of the film path entering and exiting the Reader, as well as adequate tension on the
incoming film, is essential to correct operation of the DFP-R3000 Reader. Carefully check that the all
rollers on the in-feed mechanism, the Reader, the Adapter plate, and the projector are aligned and that no
twisting of the film path occurs. Adjust the positioning of the Reader if necessary.
