Troubleshooting
The projector does not turn on
No picture
Blurred image
Remote control does not work
The password is incorrect
The LAN function cannot be used
CauseRemedy
There is no power from the power cord.Plug the power cord into the AC inlet on the projector, and 
plug the power cord into the power outlet. If the power 
outlet has a switch, make sure that it is switched on.
Attempting to turn the projector on again 
during the cooling process.Wait until the cooling down process has completed.
CauseRemedy
The video source is not turned on or 
connected correctly.Turn the video source on and check that the signal cable is 
connected correctly.
The projector is not correctly connected to 
the input signal device.Check the connection.
The input signal has not been correctly 
selected.Select the correct input signal with the INPUT key on the 
projector or remote control.
CauseRemedy
The projection lens is not correctly focused. Adjust the focus of the lens using the focus ring.
The projector and the screen are not aligned 
properly.Adjust the projection angle and direction as well as the 
height of the unit if necessary.
The lens cover is still closed. Open the lens cover.
Depending on video signal timing, the 
projector needs to fine-tune for less blurred 
image.Adjust Phase in the DISPLAY menu.
CauseRemedy
The battery is out of power. Replace the battery with a new one.
There is an obstacle between the remote 
control and the projector.Remove the obstacle.
You are too far away from the projector. Stand within 8 meters (26 feet) of the projector.
CauseRemedy
You do not remember the password.Please see Resetting the password function on page 35 
for details.
CauseRemedy
LAN control settings or LAN cable 
connection are problematic.Verify the LAN control settings. Please see Configuring 
the LAN Settings on page 51 for details. Make sure the 
LAN cables are properly connected.
