3. The input signal and/or signal cables carrying the input signal may be of poor quality.
4. If the distance between the input source device and the projector is greater than 25 feet, signal amplifica-
tion/conditioning may be required.
5. If the source is a VCR or off-air broadcast, detail may be set too high.
6.2 Lamps
For more information on lamp operation modes and auto-switching, refer to 4.10.1 The Lamp Menu .
Projector Delayed on Power Up
The projector enforces a 60 second delay between powering down and up again, because a hot lamp is more
difficult to ignite.
NOTE:
It can take 2 minutes to cool a lamp sufficiently enough before re-striking it.
Powered Up, But No Light on the Wall
It takes approximately 60 seconds for the projector to power up and strike a lamp. A UHP lamp may not strike
on the first attempt. In this case, the projector will wait 30 seconds before striking the lamp again. It will try a
total of five times before it declares the lamp as
“Failed to Strike”. Therefore it could take up to 2 minutes
before light is seen on the wall. You can check the status of either lamp in the projector by checking
LAMP
STATUS
in the Lamp Menu, refer to 4.10.1 The Lamp Menu .
Incorrect Lamp Serial Number on Status Page
When replacing a lamp in a projector with a new lamp, remember to replace the lamp card (PCB). This card
contains key information about your lamp, such as serial number, and factory default color primaries. If not
installed, this can lead to incorrect lamp histories and difficulty with projector color matching.
6.3 Ethernet
1. Make sure the Ethernet settings are valid for your site—all network devices should have the same subnet
mask and unique IP addresses.
2. Save any address change, and re-boot to implement.
3. If you still have trouble establishing communications with a projector added to an existing Ethernet
network, the projector’s IP address is likely in conflict with another address already in use. Contact your
network administrator.
