This section provides many useful tips on how to solve common problems while using the

AVerVision PL50.

There is no picture on the presentation screen.

1. Check all the connectors again as show n in this manual.

2. Check the on/off sw itch of the display output device.

3. Verify the setting of the display output device.

4. If you are presenting from a notebook or computer through the display output device, check the cable connection from computer RGB (VGA) output to RGB input of AVerVision PL50 and make sure AVerVision PL50 is in PC Mode.

5. For HDMI display output, a delay occurs w hile w aiting for both the display device and AVerVision

PL50 to sync up. Wait for around 4 to 7 seconds until you see the camera image on the screen.

I have set up the AVerVision PL50 and checked all the connections as specified in the manual but I cannot get a picture on the preferred presentation screen.

1. The unit POWER button turns orange in standby mode. Press the POWER button again to turn on and the LED light w ill turn blue.

2. The default camera display resolution setting is on 1024x768. If your output device does not support this resolution; no image can be projected. Simply press hold the FREEZE and

► button to the change the resolution setting.

3. If your display output device is on TV or any analog device, please sw itch the TV-RGB dip sw itch to TV.

The picture on the presentation screen is distorted or the image is blurry.

1. Reset all changed settings, if any, to the original manufacturer default setting. Press DEFAULT on the remote or select Default in Basic tab OSD menu.

2. Use the Brightness and Contrast menu functions to reduce the distortion if applicable.

3. If you discover that the image is blurry or out of focus, press the Auto Focus button on the control panel or remote control.

There is no computer signal on presentation screen.

1. Check all the cable connections among the display device, AVerVision PL50 and your PC.

2. Connect your PC to the AVerVision PL50 first before you pow er on your computer.

3. For notebook, repeatedly press FN+F5/F8 to toggles betw een display modes and display the computer image on the presentation screen. For different command, please refer to your laptop manual.

The presentation screen does not show the exact desktop image on my PC or

Notebook after I toggle from Camera to PC mode.

1. Return to your PC or Notebook, place the mouse on the desktop and right click, choose

“Properties”, choose “Setting” tab, click on “2” monitor and check the box “Extend my Window s desktop onto this monitor”.

2. Then go back one more time to your PC or Notebook and place the mouse on the desktop and right click again.

3.

This time choose “Graphics Options”, then “Output To”, then “Intel® Dual Display Clone”, and then choose “Monitor + Notebook”.

4. After you follow these steps, you should be able to see the same desktop image on your PC or

Notebook as w ell as on the presentation screen.

AVerVision PL50 can

’t detect the inserted USB flash drive.

Make sure the USB flash drive sw itch is set to the left and check if the USB flash drive is properly inserted..

The recorded video on MAC with the bundled software doesn’t have sound.

Due to some limitation, w e recommend recording the audio directly from the MAC MIC IN port for better audio quality.
