The Visor

What if I wear prescription glasses?

Simply remove your glasses, put on the Visor, and then adjust the focus sliders – they encompass a wide range of optical settings.

Thanks to state-of-the-art technology, you will be able to view media through the Visor as clearly and as sharply as if you were wearing your glasses!

Once you’ve got the Visor comfortably on your head, if it is necessary for better optical alignment, you can raise or lower the optical package by pulling it gently downwards.

The Visor

Flip your Visor over and look at the bottom. There you will see four sliders, two per side.

These sliders will help you to focus the images before your eyes and adjust to your preferred IPD (or inter-pupillary distance, which basically means the space between your eyes for those of you who aren’t optometrists).

• The IPD sliders move left and right to help you align the image to your eyes.

• The focus sliders move front to back to help you sharply focus the images before your eyes.

3. Make focus adjustments on each eye using the focus slider until the picture is clear;

4. Makeanyfinalminor adjustments with both eyes open until the picture is sharply focused.

It’s kinda like a trip to the optometrist. Focusing your Personal Cinema System is an easy to follow process if you stick to these four easy steps:
