Is the picture quality (color, density, etc.) ad-
justed correctly?
Is the correct “Decoder” selected?
Are signals (scanning frequency, etc.) from the
connected device appropriate?
Is the PC2 input terminal being used?
If the input signal comes from a computer sys-
tem, is this a sync signal of composite sync (Cs)
or ‘G on sync’ type?
Are signals with much jitter or skew distortion
being input from a video deck?
Are batteries installed correctly?
Are batteries exhausted?
Is there an obstructive object between the re-
mote control unit and the remote sensor?
Is the remote control held too far from the

• Adjust focus with the focus ring of the lens.
• Set the projector at the correct distance.
• Adjust “Tracking” and “Phase” using the menu.
• Adjust “Brightness” using the menu.
• Adjust picture quality using the menu.
• Set the “Decoder” to “AUTO” or the correct
dedicated decoder.
• If the problem is not rectified after setting to
“AUTO”, set to forced dedicated mode.
• Check if the signal is appropriate (scanning
frequency, etc.), and input the appropriate si-
gnal.
• When the PC2 input terminal is being used,
“PC2(BNC)” must be selected from the
“Options” menu. Set it correctly according to
the input signal.
• Input separate sync signals for vertical sync
(V) and horizontal sync (H) signals.
• Input signals with little jitter or skew distortion.
• Use a TBC or a device with a built-in TBC.
• Match the polarities of batteries correctly, as
shown on the battery cartridge.
• Replace with new batteries.
• Remove any shielding objects.
• Use the remote control unit at a nearer point.
