note

Because of the different technologies used, your projected image may not exactly match the colors on your laptop or computer monitor.

You see vertical stripes or the image still looks blurry after trying the solutions in the previous section.

If you’re projecting from a computer and displaying an image that contains a lot of fine detail, you may notice one or more vertical stripes or bands, or some of the characters may look heavy or blurred. Press the Enter/Auto button on the remote control to automatically reset the projector’s tracking and sync settings.

If necessary, you can manually adjust the Tracking and Sync settings on the Signal menu as described on page 55.

To help you adjust these settings, fill the screen with a detailed image, such as a desktop background pattern or black text on a white background. Adjust the Tracking setting to eliminate vertical stripes; adjust the Sync setting to increase the sharpness.

The colors of the image are not right.

Try selecting a different Color Mode. See page 53 for instructions.

If you’re displaying video, adjust the Color Saturation and Tint settings on the Image menu. See page 53 for instructions.

Adjust the Brightness, Contrast, and Color Adjustment settings on the Image menu. See page 53.

Make sure the input signal setting on the Signal menu matches the signal from the connected device. See page 54 for details.

If the image is too purple and you’ve connected a computer or RGB video device to the Computer1 or Computer2 port, select Computer as the input source. If you’ve connected a component video device to one of these ports, select Component Video.

If you’re projecting from a composite video or S-Video source, select the correct Video Signal is selected on the Signal menu.

Check your computer display settings to correct the color balance.

If the image seems dark, the lamp may be nearing time for replacement. Check the lamp hours as described on page 60 and replace it, if necessary, as described on page 72.
