Missing Screen Dots

Though this projector is manufactured using the most advanced digital technology available today, some of the dots on the screen may be missing. This is normal, and does not indicate malfunction.

Never subject the projector to strong impact while it is projecting.

If the projector is accidentally subjected to strong impact, the projection image will momentarily go blank. The image will reappear after some time, but it may be the wrong color or it may be accompanied by an error message.

If the projected image is the wrong color, re-select the current input source. If this does not return the projected image to its proper color, use the procedure under “To turn off the projector” on page E-15 to turn projector power off and then back on again.

If the image reappears with an error message, correct the problem in accordance with the indicator explanations under “Error Indicators and Warning Messages” in the User’s Guide on the CD-ROM that comes with the projector.
