Is the projector at the correct distance?

The recommended projection distance range of the EMP-821 is 86–1473 cm (2.8–48.3 ft.) and that

 

 

 

 

of the EMP-81/61 is 87–1094 cm (2.8–35.9 ft.). Set the projector up so that it is within this range.

Has condensation formed on the lens?

If the projector is suddenly taken from a cold environment to a warm environment or if sudden

 

 

 

 

ambient temperature changes occur, condensation may form on the surface of the lens, and this may

 

 

 

 

cause the images to appear fuzzy. Set the projector up in the room approximately one hour before it

 

 

 

 

is to be used. If condensation forms on the lens, turn the power off and wait for the condensation to

 

 

 

 

disappear.
