Section 5: Troubleshooting
5.7.3 Image Appears ‘Squeezed’ or Vertically Stretched into Center of Screen
1. Run auto setup, pressing Auto button on the remote keypad.
2. Check your Resizing selection.
5.7.4 The Display is Jittery or Unstable
1. If the display is jittery or blinking erratically, ensure that the source is properly connected and of adequate
quality for detection. With poor quality or improperly connected source, the projector will repeatedly
attempt to display an image, however briefly.
2. The horizontal and vertical scan frequency of the input signal may be out of range for the projector. Refer
to 7 Specifications for scan frequency ranges.
3. The sync signal may be inadequate. Correct the problem at the source.
5.7.5 The Display is Faint
1. Brightness and/or contrast and/or gamma may be set incorrectly.
2. The source may be double terminated. Ensure the source is terminated only once.
3. The source (if analog) may need a different sync tip clamp location.
5.7.6 The Upper Portion of the Display is Waving, Tearing or Jittering
This can occur with video or VCR sources. Check your source.
5.7.7 Portions of the Display are Cut Off or Warped to the Opposite edge
Resizing may need adjustment. Adjust until entire image is visible and centered.
5.7.8 Display Appears Compressed (Vertically Stretched)
1. The frequency of the pixel sampling clock is incorrect for the current source.
2. Sizing and positioning options may be adjusted poorly for the incoming source signal.
3. Use an anamorphic lens for typical HDTV and anamorphic DVD sources that have been re-sized and
vertically stretched, via 3rd-party software.
5.7.9 Data is Cropped from Edges
To display the missing material, reduce image size to fill the display area available in the projector, then stretch
vertically to fill the screen from top to bottom. Add the anamorphic lens to regain image width.
5.7.10 Display Quality Appears to Drift from Good to Bad, Bad to Good
1. The source input signal may be of low quality.
2. The H or V frequency of the input may have changed at the source end.
