note

Because of the different technologies used, your projected image may not exactly match the colors on your laptop or computer monitor.

You see vertical stripes or the image still looks blurry after trying the solutions in the previous section.

If you’re projecting from a computer and displaying an image that contains a lot of fine detail, you may notice one or more vertical stripes or bands, or some of the characters may look heavy or blurred. Press the Auto button on the remote control. This resets the projector’s tracking and sync settings.

If further adjustment is needed, you can fine-tune the Tracking and Sync settings manually using the Image menu as described on page 49.

1.Fill the screen with an image containing fine detail when making these adjustments. For example, in Windows you can select a pattern to appear as your desktop background. Or try projecting black text on a white background.

2.Adjust the Tracking to eliminate vertical stripes.

3.Adjust the Sync to increase the sharpness of the image.

The colors of the image are not right.

Try selecting a different Color Mode.

If you’re displaying video, adjust the Color and Tint settings on the Image menu. See page 48 for instructions.

Adjust the Brightness and Contrast settings on the Image menu.

Try adjusting the Color Adjustment setting on the Advanced menu.

If the images appear too green or too purple, check that the Input Signal or Video Input setting is correct on the Image menu.

Check your computer display settings to correct the color balance.

If the image seems dark, the lamp may be nearing time for replacement. Check the lamp hours as described on page 55 and replace it, if necessary, as described on page 67.
