Make sure your video equipment is turned on.

Use the Source button(s) on the projector or remote control to select the correct input source. Allow a few seconds for the projector to sync up.

Press the Menu button and select Info. Make sure the resolution or video signal format shown for your connected equipment is listed as a compatible format on page 41.

No picture appears on the screen.

Make sure the projector is turned on (the P power light is green and not flashing).

Make sure the lens cover is off.

Press the A/V Mute button on the remote control to make sure the picture hasn’t been turned off temporarily.

If you’re projecting from a laptop, you may need to set it to display on an external monitor, as described below.

If you’re using a PC laptop:

Press the function key that lets you display on an external monitor. It’s often labeled with

an icon such as , but it may also be labeled CRT/LCD. You may have to hold down the Fn key while pressing it, or restart your laptop. Check your laptop’s manual or online help.

On most systems, the key lets you toggle between the LCD screen and the projector, or display on both at the same time. Allow a few seconds for the projector to sync up after pressing it.

Depending on your computer’s video card, you might need to use the Display utility in the Control Panel to make sure that both the LCD screen and external monitor port are enabled. See your computer’s documentation for details.
