Troubleshooting (continued)

Images are not displayed correctly.

Problem Solution

• Check that the cable connected to the external device isn’t intermittent.

Projected images are shaking.
Projected images are displaced.

Projected images are distorted. • Adjust the projector and the screen so that they are perpendicular to each other. (See page 9.)

Projected images are dark.

Projected images are blurred.

Afterimages persist on the screen.

White dots are seen on projected images. Black dots
are seen on projected images.

Fine streaks are seen on projected images.

Projected images become wavy.

Hue is not appropriate. • Check that the cables connected to the external devices are not broken.

Tint in projected images is incorrect.

Different color tint.

Only the motion areas in the images supplied from
the computer aren’t displayed.

Projected images are obscured.

Projected images are flickering

• Connect the cable’s plug with the external device’s connector firmly.

• Press the AUTO POSITION button.

• Some computers output out-of-spec signals on rare occasion. Adjust the Computer Image menu. (See page

17.)

• Adjust Brightness and Contrast in the Picture menu. (See page 16.)

• Replace the lamp. (See page 20.)

• Adjust the focus. (See page 13.)

• Clean the lens.

• Adjust Tracking and Fine sync. in the Computer Image menu. (See page 17.)

• Adjust Brightness and Contrast in the Picture menu. (See page 16.)

• Adjust the projector and the screen so that they are perpendicular to each other. (See page 9.)

• This phenomenon is improved by keeping projecting an evenly bright image. (Such "image burn-in" phenom­enon where afterimages persist on the screen may occur if a stationary image is kept displayed on the
screen for a long time.)

• This phenomenon is normal for a DLP projector and is not a malfunction. (A very small number of pixels may
visibly or invisibly be persistent all the time, but they are not a sign of system malfunctions. Over 99.99% of
the pixels are effective.)

• This is due to interference with the screen surface and is not a malfunction. Replace the screen or displace
the focus a little.

• Vertical or horizontal streak noise may appear on the projected image, it may depend on the type of the DVD
player, game console or computer you use.

• Connect the plugs of the cables to external devices securely.

• Keep the projector away from equipment generating interfering radio waves.

• When the keystone adjustment is carried out, the image may not be displayed correctly because of the type
of input signal. This isn’t a product malfunction. In this case, readjust the keystone so that the amount of key­stone correction is as small as possible.

• Check that Signal Type in the Setting menu is correctly set. (See page 18.)

• Check that the cable connected to the external device isn’t broken.

• When comparing images projected by two projectors, tints in the displayed images may be different because
of variation between their optical components. This is not a malfunction.

• When comparing the image projected by this projector with those displayed on the television or PC monitor,
tints in the displayed images may be different because of difference in the range of color reproducibility. This
is not a malfunction.

• This is caused by the computer being used. Contact the manufacturer of your computer.

• Match the output resolution of your computer with the resolution of the projector. For the method to change
the output resolution of the computer, contact the manufacturer of your computer. (See page 27.)

• Some images and texts appear obscured during the keystone adjustment. In such cases, use the projector
without applying the keystone adjustment. (See page 12.)

• After the ON button on the remote has been pressed, or the Lamp mode setting has changed, images may
be flickering until the lamp lights stably. This is an expected behavior.

• When selecting the input signal, AUTO POSITION and Image in Menu, the projected image may be flicker­ing temporarily. This is not a product malfunction.

mild detergent, and then wipe them with a dry cloth.

To protect the surface of the projector from fading or deteriorating:

• Do not spray insecticide on or inside the projector.

• Do not use benzin or thinner to clean it.

• Do not let rubber or plastic materials contact with projector.

Cleaning of the lens

Use a standard lens-cleaning brush or a piece of lens tissue dampened with lens cleaning fluid. The lens surface is fragile. Use only recommended,
nonabrasive lens-cleaning materials. Do not touch the lens with your fingers.

J Press the ON button to turn off the lamp and unplug the power cord from the wall outlet. Wait about 10

minutes, plug the power cord in, and try again.

• Check that the battery is loaded in the remote control or the battery is not weak. (See page 8.)

• Check that the remote control sensor isn’t exposed to direct sunlight or fluorescent light. (See page 8.)

• Use the remote control within its operation range. (See page 8.)

• Because the color wheel spins at a high speed, metallic sounds may be heard in rare occasions. Such symp-

tom is not a malfunction.

• Reset the lamp operating time. (See page 20.)
