up when the power supply is turned ON.

Notes: - It is impossible to have the upper lighting unit and

the baselight lit up together.

- When the lightness of the material surface is not
sufficiently high or a 3-D object is presented, a
sharp image with good color rendering can be
obtained with the upper lighting unit.

- To reduce glare, attach enclosed stickers, as
shown, to the outside ends, of toplights.

Input selection

The respective images from two different AV sources, such as
PC and ELMO Presenter [HD-80XG], connected to Video-in
Terminal 1 [INPUT] [RGB1] and Video-in Terminal 2
[INPUT] [RGB2] respectively, can be alternately presented on

7. TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS

Symptom

No Images on TV monitor

Out of focus

The monitor doesn't display
Video-output image normally

Possible cause/countermeasure

.

Cable is not properly connected to the video-in terminal of monitor.

.

The power cord is disconnected from the wall AC outlet.

.

The plug is disconnected from the power cord receptacle of the

Presenter.

.

The power switch is not turned ON.

.

Zoom is set at TELE to display only white/black part of the material.

.

The switch is turned ON immediately after it is turned OFF. In this case,

the Presenter may not start. Wait several seconds after turning OFF the
power switch, and then turn ON the power switch.

.

The object is too close to the lens. Check if it does not stand higher than

10cm above the stage surface.

.

Zoom is set at TELE after focusing at WIDE angle.

Focus on the point of max. TELE.

.

In the auto-focus, focusing is difficult in some cases.

.

Try switching NTSC/PAL setting of the main unit.

If you connect a PAL-set (monitor output setting) main unit to an
NTSC-only monitor, you might not get normal images (with
vertical/horizontal eye-soring lines, or no color, etc.).
Switch the monitor output setting from PAL to NTSC, referring to
"NTSC/PAL switching" on P.21.

.

The lamp is not quickly turned ON

Image is too dark

Moire pattern appears on the screen
image

Brightness tone is off the setting

For protection purposes, the lamp is turned ON after preheating for 2

seconds. This is not a fault.

.

The ambient light is not sufficient. Press the upper lighting unit button

[UPPER] to turn ON the upper lamp.

.

This is caused by the interference fringe between the meshed pattern of

the object and the CCD elements. This is normal.
This may be reduced by changing the projecting range.

.

Vertical stripes may appear on the liquid crystal projector screen. This

can be reduced by manually adjusting the dot clock frequency on the
projector side. (Refer to P.13)

.

This may be reduced by switching the gamma setting.
