• The allowable range of the adjustment value in the keystone adjustment varies depending on the installation conditions.

• When the keystone adjustment takes effect, the resolution decreases. In addition, stripes may appear or straight lines may bend in images with complicated patterns. They are not due to product malfunctions.

• Noise may appear on the screen during the keystone adjustment because of the type of the video signal being projected and the setting values of the keystone adjustment. In such cases, set the keystone adjustment values in the range where the image is displayed without noise.

• When the keystone adjustment is carried out, the image may not be displayed correctly because of the type of input signal.

• When the 1080i signal is input, the keystone adjustment ranges are limited.

Troubleshooting (continued)

Images aren't projected correctly.

Problem

Projected images are shaking. Projected images are displaced.

Projected images are distorted.

Projected images are dark.

Projected images are blurred.

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

Rainbow blur appears in projected images.

Fine streak pattern appears in projected images.

Projected images (and/or audio) appear wavy and distorted.

Tint in projected images is incorrect.

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

Projected images are obscured.

Cause and solution

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

• 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 SIGNAL menu. (See page

20.)

• Adjust the projector and the screen so that they are perpendicular to each other. (See page 13.)

• Adjust BRIGHTNESS in the IMAGE menu. (See page 19.)

• Replace the lamp. (See page 26.)

• Adjust the focus. (See page 14.)

• Clean the lens.

• Press the  or  button on the remote control to eliminate flicker.

• Adjust BRIGHTNESS and CONTRAST in the IMAGE menu. (See page 19.)

• Adjust the projector and the screen so that they are perpendicular to each other. (See page 13.)

• This symptom is normal for a DLP projector and is not a malfunction. (A very small number of pixels may stay lit or out, but such sympton is not a malfunction. Pixels of 99.99% or more are effective.)

• Such blur appears based the principle of the DLP system. It isn't a failure.

• It occurs because of interference with the screen and isn't a product malfunction. Change the screen or readjust the focus of the projector.

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

• 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 COMPUTER INPUT in the SIGNAL menu is correctly set. (See page 18.)

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

• 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

33.)

• Some images and texts appear obscured during the keystone adjustment. In such cases, use the projector without applying the keystone adjustment. (See page 13.)

• This indication appears when the air inlet or outlet grille is blocked. When they are kept blocked,

the lamp goes out.

 Remove the objects blocking the air inlet or outlet grille.

• This mark appears when ineffective operation is carried out. This isn't a product malfunction.

• Check that the battery is loaded in the remote control or the battery isn't 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.)

• Use the remote control at least 10 cm away from the projector.

• PASSWORD FUNCTION in the FEATURE menu has been set to MENU ACCESS to enable the

password lock.

 Cancel the password lock or contact the person in charge of management of the projector. (See page
