will be necessary to reposition the

fi lm guide roller and realign the solar

cell, so that both the 50% and 100%

modulated tones match from channel

to channel. When this fi ne alignment

is not done, loud sounds (above 50%

modulation) will be distorted and will

leak into the surround channels.

8. Using the built-in Slit EQ Analyzer,

run a pink noise test fi lm (Cat 69P or

equivalent). Adjust the focus of the

soundhead optics for the best high

frequency response on the analyzer

(see below). At the same time, adjust

the azimuth for the thinnest display

on the oscilloscope. The focus and azi-

muth adjustments interact, so it will be

necessary to keep adjusting both until

the best combination is achieved.

9. Using the built-in SLIT EQ Analyzer

adjust the SLIT EQ slider until the re-

sponse is fl at to 12 kHz +/- 1 dB.

8.3 Sum and Difference mode.

No Oscilloscope required.
When running a Cat 69P Pink Noise loop on

the projector, precisely adjust the left and

right projector gains so the red and green

lines on the slit analyzer overlap.
Click “Normal” on the Slit EQ Analyzer. The

button designation changes to “Sum & Diff.”

Adjust the projector sound head so the two

graphs are roughly parallel.

The top graph is controlled primarily by

the focus of the reader. The bottom graph

is controlled primarily by the azimuth.
First, the focus must be adjusted to achieve

the best high frequency response for the

top curve.
Most likely, the bottom graph will rise

quickly at high frequencies. Carefully rotate

the sound lens or reader until the curve is

horizontal.
Note: It is a bit of a juggling act to keep

rotating the reader and focusing it to

achieve the best high frequency response

on the top graph and the most horizontal

response on the bottom graph.
