Author Topic: NEC NC2500 lamp alignment Ronnie Lai Film Handler Posts: 6 From: Singapore Singapore singapore Registered: Apr 2009 posted 06-23-2009 09:07 AM                    Correct me if I'm wrong, are these the correct steps to align a fresh bulb for the NECs, X--->Y--->Z peak readings of which axis from the readings in the peak hold measurements on the projector software and repeat the sequence one more time.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 06-23-2009 09:47 AM                     HA? You mean to say that your NEC doesn't do it automatically???  |  IP: Logged Ronnie Lai Film Handler Posts: 6 From: Singapore Singapore singapore Registered: Apr 2009 posted 06-23-2009 10:23 AM                    I thought the auto bulb alignment was an optional item. It appears this unit does not. The user manual does not mention anything about it  |  IP: Logged Kevin Fairchild Expert Film Handler Posts: 125 From: Kennewick, WA, USA Registered: Oct 2008 posted 06-23-2009 12:28 PM                     Yes. Peak the XYZ and then repeat. Thats how we do it on all of our NECs  |  IP: Logged Tim Asten Film Handler Posts: 98 From: Brighton, United Kingdom Registered: Nov 2006 posted 06-23-2009 01:39 PM                     Of course, don't forget to loosen those two little Allen bolts on the alignment block and then re-tighten them afterwards . As Mark G said, The Christie's are auto-align heaven.  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 06-25-2009 01:10 AM                     Yea, we have to do the manual "XYZ's" on our NEC 1600's as well on bulb changes. Bit of a trick and time consuming, but it works.  |  IP: Logged Ronnie Lai Film Handler Posts: 6 From: Singapore Singapore singapore Registered: Apr 2009 posted 06-25-2009 03:04 AM                    Based on projector test pattern white at lamp 75%, what kind of peak readings am I expecting? I did the XYZ routine twice and didnt see a big improvement unlike CP200ZX LiteLOc feature which made a big difference in the brightness readings.  |  IP: Logged
