There may be dirt on the lens. Clean the lens as described on page 49.

Adjust the focus (see page 17).

Make sure the lens is not fogged by condensation. If you’ve just moved the projector from a cold environment, wait a couple of minutes before using it.

Adjust the Sharpness setting (see page 30).

If you’re projecting from a computer, you may need to adjust the Tracking and Sync settings (see page 32).

Press the Color Mode button on the remote control to select a different color mode.

Fine-tune the colors with the settings listed on page 31. You can also use Cinema Color Editor to adjust each color individually (see page 39).

If the picture looks dark, you may need to replace the lamp. Check the lamp usage timer to see how long the lamp has been in use (see page 56). Replace the lamp if it’s close to 1700 hours.

Solving Remote Control Problems

The projector doesn’t respond to remote control commands.

Make sure you’re within about 30 feet of the projector, and the remote control is not angled away from the projector by more than 30° in any direction.

You may need to replace the remote control’s batteries (see page 50).

Dim the room lights and turn off any fluorescent lights. Make sure the projector is not in direct sunlight.

Turn off nearby equipment that emits infrared energy, such as a radiant room heater.
