The image contains static or noise.

If you’re using a computer cable longer than 6 feet (2 meters), or an extension cable, 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.

If you’re projecting from a composite or S-Video source, check the Video Signal setting in the Signal menu. In most cases, leave it set at Auto. If you’re using a 60-Hz PAL video source, change this setting to PAL60. See page 56 for details.

Make sure the cables are securely connected at both ends.

Select the correct resolution; see “Compatible Video Formats” on page 104.

If you’re projecting from a computer, press the Enter/Auto button on the remote control or the Enter button on the projector to adjust tracking and sync automatically. If that doesn’t work, try adjusting the Sync and Tracking settings in the Signal menu. See page 55.

The image is blurry.

Adjust the focus using the focus ring. See page 38.

Try cleaning the lens as described on page 70.

Make sure the lens is not fogged by condensation. You may need to wait before using the projector after moving it from a cold environment.

Make sure the projection distance is within the range described on page 16.

Adjust the Sharpness setting on the Image menu (see page 54). You should be able to see the effect on the screen immediately.
