“NO SIGNAL” is | • Turn on the power of the connected device, or check whether there is something | |||
displayed. |
| wrong with the connected device. | ||
| • Check whether the external device output 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. If images are projected correctly, use an RGB | ||
|
| signal amplifier along with the extension cord. | ||
|

Images are not displayed correctly. | ||||
Problem | Solution | |||
Projected images are | • Check that the cable connected to the external device isn’t intermittent. | |||
shaking. | • Connect the cable’s plug with the external device’s connector firmly. | |||
Projected images are | • Project an image containing many characters such as a help menu and press the | |||
displaced. |
| AUTO POSITION button. | ||
| • Some computers output | |||
|
| menu. (See pages 30 and 31.) | ||
Projected images are | • Adjust the projector and the screen so that they are perpendicular to each other. (See | |||
distorted. |
| page 10.) | ||
Projected images are | • Adjust BRIGHTNESS and CONTRAST in the IMAGE menu. (See page 28.) | |||
dark. | • Replace the lamp. (See page 38.) | |||
Projected images are | • Adjust the focus. (See pages 15 and 19.) | |||
blurred. | • | Clean the lens. | ||
| • Press the or button on the remote control to eliminate flicker. | |||
| • Adjust TRACKING and FINE SYNC. in the SIGNAL menu. (See page 31.) | |||
| • Adjust BRIGHTNESS and CONTRAST in the IMAGE menu. (See page 28.) | |||
| • Adjust the projector and the screen so that they are perpendicular to each other. (See | |||
|
| page 10.) | ||
Afterimages persist on | • This phenomenon is improved by keeping projecting an evenly bright image. (Such | |||
the screen. |
| “image | ||
|
| stationary image is kept displayed on the screen for a long time.) | ||
Red, blue, and | • This phenomenon is unique to LCD projector and isn’t a product malfunction. | |||
green dots appear in |
| (A small number of pixels always stay on or off, which are not malfunctions. More than | ||
projected images. |
| 99.99% of the pixels are effective.) | ||
Black dots appear in |
|
|
|
|
projected images. |
|
|
|
|
Fine streaks are seen | • This is due to interference with the screen surface and is not a malfunction. Replace | |||
on projected images. |
| the screen or displace the focus a little. | ||
| • Vertical or horizontal streak noise may appear on the projected image, depending on | |||
|
| the type of the DVD player or game console you use. In such a case, you can reduce | ||
|
| such streak noise by enabling the LPF. | ||
Projected images | • Connect the plugs of the cables to external devices securely. | |||
become wavy. | • Keep the projector away from devices that emit interfering radio waves. | |||
| • When the keystone adjustment is carried out, the image may not be displayed | |||
|
| correctly depending on 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. | ||
Hue is not appropriate. | • Check that the cables connected to the external devices are not broken. | |||
Tint in projected | • Check that COMPUTER INPUT in the SIGNAL menu is correctly set. (See page 26.) | |||
images is incorrect. | • Check that the cable connected to the external device isn’t broken. | |||
Different color tint. | • 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. |
