Rainbow blur appears in projected images.

Fine streak pattern appears in projected images.

Projected images (and/or audio) appear wavy and distorted.

Tint in projected images is incorrect.

Cause and solution

• Check that the cable connected to the external device isn’t intermittent.

• Connect the cable’s plug with the external device’s connector firmly.

• Press the AUTO POSITION button.

• Some computers output out-of-spec signals on rare occasion. Adjust the SIGNAL menu. (See page 19.)

• 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.)

• Replace the lamp. (See page 22.)


• Adjust the focus. (See page 13.)

• Clean the lens.


• Press the

W or X button on the remote control to eliminate flicker.

• 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.)

• This symptom is normal for a DLP projector and is not a malfunction. (A very small number of pixels may stay lit or out, but such symptom is not a malfunction. Pixels of 99.99% or more are effective.)

• This is due to color breaking noise that occurs in a DLP system and is not a malfunction.

• It occurs because of interference with the screen and isn’t a product malfunction. Change the screen or readjust the focus of the projector.

• Connect the cable’s plug with the external device’s connector firmly.

• Keep the projector away from equipment generating interfering radio waves.

• When the keystone adjustment is carried out, the image may not be displayed correctly because of the type of input signal. This isn’t a product malfunction. In this case, readjust the keystone so that the amount of keystone correction is as small as possible.

• 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.

Only the motion areas in the images supplied from the computer aren’t displayed.

• This is caused by the computer being used. Contact the manufacturer of your computer.

Projected images are obscured.

• Match the output resolution of your computer with the resolution of the projector. For the method to change the output resolution of the computer, contact the manufacturer of your computer. (See page 29.)

• Some images and texts appear obscured during the keystone adjustment. In such cases, use the projector without applying the keystone adjustment. (See page 12.)

Problem

Hot air is emitted from the air outlet grilles.

No audio is output.

The menu can’t be used.

"TEMPERATURE!!" is displayed.

The mark appears.

The remote control doesn’t function easily or at all.

The buttons on the control panel (except for the

POWER button) don’t function.

Abnormal sound is heard.


• This air comes out as a result of cooling the inside of the projector. This isn’t a product malfunction.

• Check that the volume isn’t set to low.

• The microcomputers inside the projector may be wrongly operating because of noise.

J

Press the POWER button to turn off the lamp and unplug the power cord from the wall outlet. Wait about

10 minutes, plug the power cord in, and try again.

• This indication appears when the ambient temperature rises high. When the ambient tempera-ture stays high, the lamp goes out.

J

Eliminate any causes of the rise in the ambient temperature.

• This indication appears when the air inlet or outlet grille is blocked. When they are kept blocked, the lamp goes out.

J

Remove the objects blocking the air inlet or outlet grille.

• This mark appears when ineffective operation is carried out. This isn’t a product malfunction.

• Check that the battery is loaded in the remote control or the battery isn’t weak. (See page 8.)

• Check that the remote control sensor isn’t exposed to direct sunlight or fluorescent light. (See page 8.)

• Use the remote control within its operation range. (See page 8.)

• Use the remote control at least 10 cm away from the projector.

• The password function is working.

J

Cancel the password lock. (See page 21.)

• Because the color wheel spins at a high speed, metallic sounds may be heard in rare occasions. Such symptom is not a malfunction.

When the problems below occur after the lamp is replaced, check the following.

Problem

The power isn’t turned on.

The STATUS indicator blinks.


• Attach the lamp cover on the bottom correctly.

• Reset the lamp operation time. (See page 22.)

• Reset the lamp operation time. (See page 22.)

Maintenance

Warning:

Do not use flammable solvents (benzene, thinner, etc.) and flammable aerosols when cleaning the projector body and lens. Flammable substances may ignite causing fire or breakdown while the lamp is illuminating.

Caution:

Be sure to turn off the lamp and unplug the power cord from the wall outlet before you perform any maintenance on the projector.

Cleaning of the projector and the ventilation slots

Use a soft cloth to clean the projector and the ventilation grilles. When the grilles become dirty, wipe them with a soft cloth dampened with diluted mild detergent, and then wipe them with a dry cloth.

To protect the surface of the projector from fading or deteriorating:

• Do not spray insecticide on or inside the projector.

• Do not use benzine or thinner to clean it.

• Do not let rubber or plastic materials contact with projector.

Cleaning of the lens

Use a standard lens-cleaning brush or a piece of lens tissue dampened with lens cleaning fluid. The lens surface is fragile. Use only recommended, nonabrasive lens-cleaning materials. Do not touch the lens with your fingers.
