whether images are projected correctly. If images are projected correctly, use an RGB
signal amplifier along with the extension cord.
Images are not displayed correctly.
Problem Solution
Projected images are
shaking.
Projected images are
displaced.
• Checkthatthecableconnectedtotheexternaldeviceisn’tintermittent.
• Connectthecable’splugwiththeexternaldevice’sconnectorrmly.

Afterimages persist on
the screen.
• This phenomenon is improved by keeping projecting an evenly bright image. (Such
“image burn-in” phenomenon where afterimages persist on the screen may occur if a
stationary image is kept displayed on the screen for a long time.)
White dots are seen
on projected images.
Black dots are seen
on projected images.

the type of the DVD player, game console or computer you use. In such a case, you
can reduce such streak noise by enabling the LPF.
