• This cine projector was made in two sound versions: optical only and combined magnetic-optical. Print advertisement of magnetic-optical version, here

• (1) In 1961, as there were no standards for the 8 mm track width and position, Toei had chosen to put the track on the non-perforation edge of the film, and used a track 0.7 mm wide (from Amateur Cine World, United Kingdom, January 17, 1963).

• (2) The same linear distance as on 16 mm optical sound.
