Panamorph CDR Lens System with XM2 Kit

Enhance your home theater with the Panamorph CDR+XM2 Lens System, designed for stunning 2.4:1 cinematic widescreen viewing. This installation guide will take you through the step-by-step process to securely mount and calibrate your CDR lens with the XM2 attachment kit for optimal performance.

What's Included in the Kit:

• XM2 Attachment Plate: Securely mounts the lens in front of your projector.
• Lens Bracket: Included with the complete lens system.
• Driver Kit: Comes with a 5/32” hex bit for easy installation.
• Various Length Bracket Attachment Screws: Provides compatibility with different projector models.
• Spacers & Stabilizers: For added rigidity and proper positioning.

Step-by-Step Installation Process:

Step 1: Install the XM2 Attachment Plate

• Mount the XM2 Plate between your projector and ceiling mount, or directly onto compatible projector models.
• For Epson Projectors, use the included spacers to provide proper positioning.
• For Sony and JVC Projectors, attach the plate securely and adjust screw lengths as needed.

Step 2: Prepare Your Projector for Lens Installation

• Align your projector with the screen, minimizing horizontal lens shift.
• Use an actual 2.4:1 movie to set up the projector, as test patterns may not represent true aspect ratios.
• Adjust the projector zoom and vertical lens shift to allow that the movie fills the screen properly.

Step 3: Install the CDR Lens

• Attach the Lens Bracket to the projector using the appropriate screws and spacers.
• Secure the Lens Bracket to the XM2 Plate using thumb knobs and adjust the Lens Tilt and Vertical Lens Shift for suitable image alignment.

Additional Tips:

• Inverting the Lens Bracket: If mounting on a shelf, invert the bracket to allow additional tilt.
• Electronic Distortion Correction: Use built-in projector features to correct edge distortion at lower throw ratios.
• Convergence Correction: Correct any color fringing through your projector’s convergence settings.

Cleaning & Maintenance

• Blow off dust from the lens regularly to maintain performance.
• If there’s buildup, use professional lens cleaning supplies for gentle cleaning while the projector is on.
