Maintenance
This section describes how to:
♦
Clean the lens
♦
Clean the projector
♦
Clean the air filter
♦
Replace the lamp
It is important to keep the air filter clean because a clogged air filter prevents proper
ventilation, necessary to cool down the projector and prevent it from overheating.
The parts you can replace by yourself are the lamp and the air filter. For other parts
replacement, contact your Projector dealer or qualified service personnel.
Warning: When cleaning any part of the projector, always switch off and unplug the power
cord first.
Warning: Never open any of the covers on the projector, except the lamp and filter covers.
Dangerous high voltage inside the projector can cause sever injuries.
Cleaning the Lens
5
5
5
Clean the lens whenever you notice dirt or dust on the surface. Wipe the lens surface
gently with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth.
To remove dirt or stains on the lens, moisten a soft cloth with water and a neutral
detergent and gently wipe the lens surface.
Cleaning the Projector
To clean the projector case, first unplug the power cable. To remove dirt or dust, wipe
the casing with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. To remove stubborn dirt or stains, moisten a
soft cloth with water and a neutral detergent. Then wipe the casing.
Caution: Do not use alcohol, benzene, thinners or other chemical detergents as these can
cause the casing to warp.
Cleaning the Air Filter
The air filter should be cleaned after every 100 hours of use. If it is not cleaned
periodically, it can become clogged with dust and prevent the projector from being
ventilated properly. This can cause overheating and damage the projector. To clean
the air filter:
1. Switch the projector off and unplug the power cable from the wall socket.
2. Stand the projector with the handle at the top so that the filter is easily accessible.
Caution: Stand the projector with the handle at the top to prevent dust from entering the
projector.
The air filter is attached to the inside of the projector.
If the dirt is difficult to remove or if the filter is torn, replace it. An air filter comes with the
projector. Contact your Projector dealer or call a Service Center for new filters.

This chapter describes the problems indicated by the status lights and provides
information on what to do if you experience problems with the projector. It is divided
into the following sections.
♦
General problems with the projector. Refer to this section if the projector is not
working and to find out what the warning lights are indicating.
♦
Problems with the screen image. Refer to this section if you cannot project an
image or if the quality of the screen image is poor.
If you have a problem, refer to the appropriate section and follow all the suggestions
that apply to your problem. If none of the suggested solutions solves the problem, call
your dealer or call the Service Center.
Problem with the projector
If you have problems with the projector, first turn it off and unplug it. Then plugs the
power cord back in and turn on the projector. If this does not solve the problem, check
the warning lights at the front top of the projector. These lights alert you to problems
with the projector operation.
See the following pages for information on what to do when you see these warning
lights or encounter other specific problems with the projector.
Q: The system indicator is flashing orange and I cannot turn on the projector.
A: The lamp is cooling down. Within this time interval, no buttons are available. It
takes 1 minute to cool down the lamp. Wait until the light turns off and then turn
on the projector.
Q: The system indicator does not come on.
A: No power is coming on. Check that the power cord is connected securely both
at the power outlet and the projector, and that the power switch is set in “on”
position.
Q: The brightness of the projected images is not acceptable any more, or the
lamp indicator is red.
Figure 6-1 (LED)
A: The lamp is near the end of its life. Replace the projector lamp with a new one.
Q: The temperature indicator is red.
A: The projector is overheating and will turn the lamp off automatically. Let the
projector cool down for a few minutes, and then turn it back on. Make sure
nothing is blocking the ventilation vents.
The air filter may be clogged. Clean it as described in Chapter 5 and then let the
33
Page 34
projector cool down for a while. If the projector continues to overheat after you
cleaned the air filter, the problem may be caused by damage to the cooling fan
or internal circuits. Contact a qualified service person.
Warning: Except as specifically explained in this User's Guide, do not attempt to service
this product yourself.
Problems with the Image or Sound
Q: No image appears on the screen.
A: No signal is on the channel selected. Make sure the cables are installed
correctly and securely, as described in Chapter 2. The correct image source
may not be selected. Press the Source button on the remote control or the
control panel to choose another image source.
Q: Only part of the computer image is displayed.
A: The incoming signal is not in our supported list, or its resolution is greater than
1024 x 768 for XGA model or 800x600 for SVGA model and the Resizing
setting in Setting menu is OFF. You can press the Resize button on the control
panel or the remote control to see full screen. Otherwise, the reason is that the
computer output is not compatible with your projector. There are two methods to
choose. One is to choose a different display setting on the computer that is
within our specifications. The other is to manually adjust the operating
parameters within the VGA menu.
Q: The message NO SIGNAL is displayed.
A: No image source is detected in the selected channel. Check the cable
connection, power of image source and source selection. If a Laptop is
connected check if the VGA Video out on the laptop is activated. See
appropriate section in the computer user manual.
Q: The image or parts of the image are blurred or not in focus.
A: The lens focusing is maybe not correct or the image sampling is not in the best
condition. Adjust the lens focusing through the Focus button on the remote
control or the Zoom/Focus key on the control panel. Press the Auto Image
button on the remote control or the Auto Image menu function in the VGA menu
to enhance the image. You can also adjust the Brightness, Contrast, Freq.
Tracking and Signal Phase settings on the VGA menu. Dirt or smears may also
be on the lens. Clean the lens as described in Chapter 5, “Maintenance”.
With some laptops switching off the internal LCD display improves the RGB
Video output signal.
Q: The color of the image is incorrect.
A: The color balance might be incorrect. You can adjust the red, green, and blue
settings in the Setting menu. If you're displaying video, other adjustments can
be done in the color and tint settings on the Video menu.
Q: Light colors or gray tones appear white
A: Reduce contrast setting
Q: There is no sound.
