Troubleshooting Tips

Image appears “washed out” and/or dark areas appear too bright.

Colors in the image are swapped; for example, reds appear blue or vice versa.

Image geometry is incorrect.

The projector will not turn back on after it was powered down, or the image disap- pears during operation.

Brightness is set too high.

The Red/Pr, Green/Y or Blue/Pb outputs from the source are connected to the wrong inputs on the DHD Controller.

Incorrect aspect ratio selection.

The projector will not turn on for two minutes after power-down, to protect the lamp.

The lamp has failed.

Lower the brightness setting.

Ensure that the source outputs are connected to the correct DHD Controller input.

Select the aspect ratio that best matches the source image and screen size (refer to Table 4-1).

Wait two minutes until the LED at the front of the DHD Controller turns red.

Replace the lamp.
