Solving Problems with the Image or Sound

Power does not turn on.

■Make sure the power cable is connected. Also, connect a lamp to your power outlet to make sure it’s working.

■If the projector lights turn off and on when you touch the power cable, the cable may be defective. Contact Epson as described on page 91.

No image appears on the screen.

■Check that the Power light is green, not flashing, and the lens cap is off.

■Make sure that the projector is securely connected to your computer or video source.

■The projector may be in standby or sleep mode. If the projector has not received any input signal for 30 minutes, it turns off the lamp to conserve the lamp life and save energy. If the Power light is orange, press the P Power button to turn the projector on.

■Press the A/V Mute button to make sure the picture has not been turned off temporarily.

■If the power was switched off and then on again, the projector may still be cooling down. Wait until the Power light stops flashing and remains orange; then press the P Power button again.

■Check the Video Signal or Computer 1 Input or Computer 2 Input setting in the Signal menu to make sure it is correct for the selected source. See page 55 for more information.

■Have messages been turned off in the Display setting of the Extended menu? See page 59 for details.

■Adjust the Brightness setting on the Image menu or select High for the Brightness Control setting in the Setting menu. See page 54 or page 58.
