The image isn’t square, but trapezoid-shaped.

Make sure the projector isn’t placed off to one side of the screen, at an angle. Place the projector directly in front of the center of the screen, facing the screen squarely.

If you’ve tilted the projector upward by extending the legs, the image will be broader at the top. Hold down the + or side of the Keystone button on top of the projector until the image is square.

The image contains static or noise.

If you’ve connected a second computer or you’re using component video, make sure the BNC option in the Setting menu is correct. See page 54.

If you’re using a computer cable longer than 6 feet, the image quality may be reduced.

Keep your computer and video cables separated from the power cord as much as possible to prevent interference.

The video signal may be split between the computer and the projector. If you notice a decline in the projected image quality when the image is displayed simultaneously on your laptop computer and the projector, turn off the laptop’s LCD display.

The image is blurry.

There may be dirt or smears on the lens. Clean the lens as described on page 58.

Adjust the focus using the focus ring.

Adjust the Sharpness setting in the Video menu (see page 46). If you’re projecting from a computer, you may also need to adjust the Tracking and Sync as described in the next section. If you don’t like the new settings, you can always select Reset to return to the factory default settings.
