Picture problems

If a “scanning” or “waiting” message is displayed on a blank screen:

•Press the source button on the projector or remote control one or more times until the correct source name is selected.

•Be sure the external source is turned on and connected.

•For a computer connection, ensure your notebook computer’s external video port is turned on. Refer to the computer manual. On some notebooks, for example, press the FN+F4 or FN+F5 function keys to turn on the external video port.

If the wrong input source is displayed:

•Press the source button on the projector or the remote control one or more times to select another active input source.

If the image is out of focus:

•Be sure the lens cover is removed.

•While displaying the on-screen menu, adjust the focus ring. (The image size should not change; if it does, you are adjusting the zoom, not the focus.)

•Ensure the projection screen is 1.5 to 10 m (5 to 33 ft) from the projector.

•Check the projection lens to see if it needs cleaning.

•For a computer connection, set the display resolution as the computer to the same resolution as the projector, 1024 × 768 (see “Specifications” on page 55). If the computer has multiple monitors, adjust the resolution of the monitor assigned to the projector.

•For a computer connected to the S-video port, the picture cannot be as high resolution as what you see on the computer display.
