• Press the
auto sync
button on the projector or remote control.
• Turn everything off. Then power on the projector first and power on the notebook or

• If the previous steps do not correct the display image, adjust the resolution of the
notebook or desktop computer to the same resolution as the projector, 800 × 600 or
1024 × 768 (see “Specifications” on page 61). If the computer has multiple monitors,
adjust the resolution of the monitor assigned to the projector.
