Troubleshooting (continued)

Images aren’t projected correctly.

Problem		Cause and solution
Projected images are shaking.	• Check that the cable connected to the external device isn’t intermittent.
	•	Connect the cable’s plug with the external device’s connector firmly.
Projected images are displaced.	•	Press the AUTO POSITION button.
	• Some computers output out-of-spec signals on rare occasion. Adjust the SIGNAL menu. (See page 19.)
Projected images are distorted.	•	Adjust the projector and the screen so that they are perpendicular to each other. (See page 12.)
	• Adjust BRIGHTNESS in the IMAGE menu. (See page 18.)
Projected images are dark.	•	Replace the lamp. (See page 22.)
	• Remove the lens cap.
	• Adjust the focus. (See page 13.)
	•	Clean the lens.
Projected images are blurred.	•	Remove the lens cap.
	• Adjust BRIGHTNESS and CONTRAST in the IMAGE menu. (See page 18.)
	• Adjust the projector and the screen so that they are perpendicular to each other. (See page 12.)
White dots are seen on projected images.	•	This symptom is normal for a DLP projector and is not a malfunction. (A very small number of pixels may stay

		stone correction is as small as possible.
Tint in projected images is incorrect.	• Check that COMPUTER INPUT in the SIGNAL menu is correctly set. (See page 17.)
	• Check that the cable connected to the external device isn’t broken.
