SPECIAL APPLICATIONS A. USING PROJECTOR AS A P.A. SYSTEM Using projector as a P.A. system, simply plug an accessory microphone into the amplifier mic jack. Turn on the amplifier and adjust the volume and tone controls as necessary. NOTE: It is recommended that the P.A. mic be used with the projector plugged into the external speakers, and that the speakers be located away from the projector.

D.50HZ TO 60HZ CONVERSION The standard NST & NT projector is available either as 50Hz sound and silent or 60Hz sound and silent operations. Conversion from 50 to 60Hz or 60 to 50Hz can be accomplished by changing the motor pulley only. To allow the projector to be operated at either 50 or 60Hz sound only, it is necessary to change the motor pulley and the cam tank pulley (Shut ter Pulley). It is now possible to change frequency by simply shifting the motor drive belt.
