■The Projected Image Is Blurred
■You Cannot Project an Image Appropriately
■The Projector Power Turns Off
Cause Countermeasure
The image is out of focus. Adjust the focus. (P73)
The distance to the screen is too 
short.Check whether the distance to the screen is appropriate. If 
the distance is shorter than approximately 1.3 m (4.3), the 
projector cannot focus on the screen. (P156)
The projector is not placed 
straight in front of the screen.Check whether the projector is placed obliquely to the 
screen. A slight error in the projection angle can be cor-
rected through the keystone adjustment function. (P76)
The projector has been moved to 
a place where the temperature 
varies a lot.When the projector is moved from a location where the tem-
perature is low to a location where the temperature is high, 
condensation may form on the lens. The condensation will 
evaporate after a period of time and the projector will be 
able to project a normal image.
The lens is stained. Clean the lens. (P192)
The tracking is bad. Adjust the tracking with the [AUTO PC] or [Tracking] func-
tion. (P62, P96)
Cause Countermeasure
The projected image is inverted in 
the vertical or horizontal direction.The ceiling mounted / rear projection setting is incorrect. 
Check the [Image flip H/V] setting in the [Display settings] 
menu. (P104)
The dot clock of the input signal is 
higher than 162 MHz with a BNC 
cable.Set the signal dot clock to 162 MHz or less on your com-
puter.
A VGA cable is used in which 
some pins are not connected.Use a VGA cable in which all pins are connected.
Cause Countermeasure
The air intake or exhaust vent is 
blocked.Check whether the air intake or exhaust vent is blocked. If 
the air intake or exhaust vent is blocked, the temperature 
inside the projector will increase and the power is automati-
cally turned off to protect the projector. (The [WARNING] 
indicator and [TEMP] indicator are lit.) Wait until the projec-
tor temperature drops, then make sure that the intake and 
exhaust vents are not blocked and turn on the projector. 
(P32, P56)
The air filter is dirty. Check whether the air filter is clogged with dust.
If the air filter is clogged, clean or replace the air filter.

Relationship between Aspect and Screen Aspect
This section describes the relationship between screen aspect (P63) and aspect (P69).
To project an image on the whole screen, select the most appropriate screen aspect ratio 
and aspect according to the aspect ratio of the screen and input signal type.
 If an image from image software with an aspect ratio of 16:9 is not projected correctly, select [16:9] 
as the screen aspect.
 For a 16:9 image with black borders at the top and bottom, such as a terrestrial broadcast movie, 
you can project the 16:9 image area so that it is projected on the entire screen by selecting [Zoom] 
in [Aspect].
[Zoom] is available when [16:10], [16:9] or [16:9 D. image shift] is selected for the screen aspect
and [HDMI (480p, 576p)] or [Component (480p, 480i, 576p, 576i)] is selected for the input signal.
 To perform keystone adjustment (P76), select [16:10], [4:3] or [16:9] for [Screen aspect].
