Solving Picture Problems

You cannot turn on the projector.

Make sure the power cord is connected and the power switch is turned on. Then wait a moment for the P Power light to turn orange before pressing the P Power button.

If you’ve set the Control Panel Lock, the control panel buttons are disabled; you must use the remote control to turn on the projector (see page 32).

No picture appears on the screen or you see the No Signal message displayed.

Press the Source button on the projector or one of the Source buttons on the remote control to select the correct input source. Allow a few seconds for the projector to sync up after pressing the button.

Press the Blank button on the remote control to make sure the picture hasn’t been turned off temporarily.

Check that the P Power light is green, not flashing, and the lens cover is off.

The projector may be in standby mode. If the P Power light is orange, press the P Power button to turn the projector back on.

Make sure your video equipment is turned on.

Make sure your cable(s) are connected correctly (see page 18).
