Troubleshooting
Problem: Nothing on projection screen
•
Make sure that the power cord is properly connected to a fully func-
tional AC electrical outlet. Make sure that the power cord is also
properly connected to the projector.
•
If the projector is plugged into a power strip, make sure the power
strip is turned on.
•
Make sure you have removed the lens cap on the projection lens at
the front of the projector.
•
Make sure the projector is switched on.
•
Check the projector’s lamp to ensure that it is securely connected in
the lamp module. See “Replacing the Projection Lamp” on page 33.
•
Make sure that the cables do not have any bent pins.
Problem: Color or text not being projected
•
You might need to adjust the brightness up or down until the text is
visible. Refer to “Brightness” on page 23 for more information.
Problem: The screen resolution is not right
•
Make sure the computer’s video card is set for a resolution of no
greater than 1024x768.
Problem: Image isn’t centered on the screen
•
Reposition the image. Refer to “Horizontal position” on page 27 and
“Vertical position” on page 27.
•
Be sure the projector is at a 90 degree angle to the screen.
Problem: Only the start-up screen displays
•
Verify that the cables are connected correctly. See page 8 through
page 12 for connection procedures.
•
Verify that the proper input source is connected. See “Source (keypad
only) or Computer and Video (remote only)” on page 20.
•
You might need to turn everything off and power up the equipment
again in the proper order. Refer to your computer’s documentation to
determine the correct order.
