suggest that you consult this chart before contacting your dealer.

Images aren’t projected on the screen.

Problem Cause and solution

Power isn’t turned on.

Images aren’
t projected on the
screen.

Images suddenly
disappear.

Check the states of the indicators.

LAMP(Red) POWER(Red) Charge(Red) Solution

Plug the power cord into

a wall outlet.

Cancel blanking by pressing the Blank button.
On rare occasion, the lamp fails to light up. In such cases, try to light the lamp

again.
Check that the cable connected to the external device isn’t broken.
When an extension cord is being used, replace it with the supplied cable and

check whether images are projected correctly.
The air inlet or outlet grille may be blocked.

Remove the objects blocking the air inlet or outlet grille and carry out the



following.

1. Wait for the air inlet or outlet fan to stop (or wait for the LAMP indicator

3. Wait about 1 minute.

4. Plug the power cord into the wall outlet.

5. Press the POWER button.

Check that the battery or power cord connected with the projector correctly.

ViewSonic PJ106D 28

Problem Cause and solution

“Searching for

source” is displayed.

Turn on the power of the connected device, or check whether there is

something wrong with the connected device.

Check the external device outputs signals. (Check this especially when the

external device is a notebook computer.)

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

Check that the projector is connected to the external device using the correct

terminals.

Check that the connected device is correctly selected as the input source.

When an extension cord is being used, replace it with the supplied cable and

check whether images are projected correctly.

Images aren’t projected correctly.

Problem Cause and solution

Projected images are

shaking.

Projected images are

displaced.

Projected images are

distorted.

Projected images are

dark.

Projected images are

blurred.

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

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

Some computers output out-of-spec signals on rare occasion. Adjust the

Image menu.

Adjust the projector and the screen so that they are perpendicular to each

other.

Adjust Brightness in the Color menu.

Adjust the focus.

Clean the lens.

Adjust Brightness and Contrast in the Color menu.

Adjust the projector and the screen so that they are perpendicular to each

other.

ViewSonic PJ106D 29

Problem Cause and solution

White dots are seen

on projected images.

Black dots are seen

onprojected images.

Rainbow

blurprojected images.

Fine streak pattern

appears in projected

images.

Projected images

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.

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.)

This is due to color breaking noise that occurs in a DLP system and is not a

malfunction.

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 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.

Some images and texts appear obscured during the keystone adjustment. In

such cases, use the projector without applying the keystone adjustment.
