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.

Afterimages persist on the screen.

Red, blue, and green dots appear in projected images. Black dots appear 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 19.)

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

12.)

• Adjust BRIGHTNESS in the IMAGE menu. (See page 18.)

• Replace the lamp. (See page 23.)

• Adjust the focus. (See page 13.)

• Clean the lens.

• Press the $ or % button on the remote control to eliminate flicker.

• Adjust BRIGHTNESS and CONTRAST in the IMAGE menu. (See page 18.)

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

12.)

• 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 unique to LCD projector and isn't a product malfunction. (A small number of pixels always stay on or off, which are not malfunctions. More than

99.99% of the pixels are effective.)

• 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 17.)

• 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 31.)

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

malfunction.

• Check that the volume isn't set to low.

• The microcomputers inside the projector may be wrongly operating because of noise.

➔ Press the POWER 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.

• This indication appears when the ambient temperature rises high. When the ambient

temperature stays high, the lamp goes out. ➔ Eliminate any causes of the rise in the ambient temperature.

• 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. Clean the filter. (See page 24.)

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

tion.

• Check that the batteries are loaded in the remote control or the batteries aren'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.)

CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK,

DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK)

NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE

REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED

SERVICE PERSONNEL.

The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock.

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.

WARNING:

TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARD, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.

CAUTION:

TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT USE THIS (POLARIZED) PLUG WITH AN EXTENSION CORD, RECEPTACLE OR OTHER OUTLET UNLESS THE BLADES CAN BE FULLY INSERTED TO PREVENT BLADE EXPOSURE.

NOTE:

SINCE THIS PROJECTOR IS PLUGGABLE EQUIPMENT, THE SOCKET-OUTLET SHALL BE INSTALLED NEAR THE EQUIPMENT AND SHALL BE EASILY ACCESSIBLE.

WARNING

Use the attached specified power supply cord. If you use another power-supply cord, it may cause interference with radio and television reception.

Use the attached RGB cable or RS-232C cable with this equipment so as to keep interference within the limit of a FCC Class B device.

This apparatus must be grounded.

DO NOT LOOK DIRECTLY INTO THE LENS WHEN THE PROJECTOR IS IN THE POWER ON MODE.

CAUTION

Not for use in a computer room as defined in the Standard for the Protection of Electronic Computer/ Data Processing Equipment, ANSI/NFPA 75.

The attached power cords are to be used exclusively for this product. Never use them for other products.
