note

If you don’t like the new settings, you can always select Reset to return to the factory default settings.

The image has a distorted, crooked, or keystone (trapezoid) shape.

This may be caused by extending the legs and tilting the projector to position the image. Press the right + or left side of the projector’s Keystone button until the image is rectangular.

Make sure the projector faces the screen squarely. If the projector is not pointed straight at the screen, your image will be distorted.

The image or parts of the image are blurred or not in focus.

Adjust the focus using the focus ring.

Adjust the Brightness, Contrast, Sharpness, and Gamma settings on the Video menu. If you’re viewing a computer image, also try adjusting the Tracking and Sync buttons on the control panel. When you change video settings, you should be able to see the effect on the screen immediately.

Try pressing Auto on the remote control or the Enter button on the control panel to automatically reset the video settings.

There may be dirt or smears on the lens. Clean the lens as described on page 77.

note

Images will be projected more vividly if you adjust the Tracking before the Sync.

The image vibrates, flickers, or has vertical lines.

If you’re projecting from a computer, try pressing Auto on the remote control or Enter on the control panel. This resets the computer display settings automatically. If that doesn’t work, adjust the Tracking and Sync using the buttons on the control panel. Hold down the button until your image looks correct. It is best to project a gray screen (or the Windows exit screen) when you adjust these settings. You can also change the Tracking and Sync settings through the Video menu (see page 64).

The image quality is poor on a laptop computer.

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 LCD display.
