Solutions When the Image is Fuzzy or Blurry

If the projected image is fuzzy or blurry, try the following solutions:

• Adjust the image focus.

• Clean the projector lens.

Note:

To avoid condensation on the lens after bringing the projector in from a cold environment, let the

projector warm up to room temperature before using it.

• Position the projector close enough to the screen.

• Turn on automatic keystone adjustment in the projector's menus.

• Adjust the

Sharpness

setting to improve image quality.

• If you are projecting from a computer, press the

Auto

button on the remote control to automatically

adjust the tracking and sync. If any bands or overall blurriness remains, display a uniformly patterned
image on the screen and manually adjust the

Tracking

and

Sync

settings.
