your audience to see than a small one.Prevent stray light from hitting screen.Place projector on a firm stand or table behind your audience

and at approximately the same level as the screen.Clean both exposed surfaces of your projector lens. Use lens

tissue or soft cotton cloth.Clean film gate of dust and lint.Arrange film reels conveniently in order of showing.Thread projector with film and check loops by running on

leader a second or two.
