Troubleshooting
Indicators keep you informed about the current operational status of the projector. The following 
shows what the indicators look like when operation is normal.
When a warning message appears on the projection screen, or when the POWER/STANDBY, LIGHT, 
and TEMP indicators are lit or flashing in a pattern other than those shown above, it means that a 
projector error has occurred. For details, see “Error Indicators and Warning Messages” (below).
Warning messages and indicators let you know what the problem is when a projector error occurs.
When an error occurs, wait until the fan stops before unplugging the AC power cord. If you unplug the 
AC power cord while the fan is still operating, an error may occur when you plug the AC power cord 
back in.

Check the following items whenever you experience any problem with the projector.
Projector Troubleshooting
ProblemCause and Recommended Action
Power does not turn on.zIf the POWER/STANDBY indicator is not lit, the AC power cord is not connected 
correctly. Connect the AC power cord correctly.
zIf the TEMP or LIGHT indicator remains flashing or lit, it means some type of error 
has occurred. See “Error Indicators and Warning Messages” (page 51).
No image is projected or 
the projected image is 
abnormal.zThe computer or video device connected to the projector is not turned on or it is 
not outputting a video signal. Make sure the connected computer or video device 
is turned on, and perform the required operation on it to output a video signal.
zThe correct output source is not selected on the projector. On the projector, select 
the correct input source that corresponds to the connected device.
zImages may not project correctly when you have the component output terminal of 
a video device connected to the COMPUTER IN (1 or 2) terminal of the projector. 
Connect to the VIDEO terminal or S-VIDEO terminal of the projector.
Image color or display is 
very abnormal.The wrong option (“Component” or “RGB”) may be selected for the “Input SettingsJ 
COMPUTER1 Terminal (or COMPUTER2 Terminal)” setting on the setup menu. The 
image will not be projected correctly if “Component” is selected while the projector’s 
COMPUTER IN (1 or 2) terminal is connected to the RGB output terminal of a 
computer, or if “RGB” is selected while the projector’s COMPUTER IN (1 or 2) 
terminal is connected to the component video output terminal of a video device. On 
the setup menu, select “Auto” for the “Input SettingsJ COMPUTER1 Terminal (or 
COMPUTER2 Terminal)” setting. See page 43.

other device is not outputting audio. Adjust the volume level of the connected 
device.
zThe audio output of the connected device may not be connected correctly to the 
projector’s AUDIO IN (1 or 2) terminal or AUDIO IN L/R terminal. Check the 
connection, referring to one of the following (depending on the type of connected 
device): “Connecting the Analog RGB Output of a Computer to the Projector” 
(page 12) or “Connecting to a Video Device” (page 14).
z“Line” is selected for the setup menu “Option Settings 2J Audio Out” setting. 
Change the “Audio Out” setting to “Speaker”. See page 46.
Strange color The input signal may not match projector settings. Try doing the following.

Appendix
When performing an operation on the remote controller, point it at the remote control signal receiver 
on the back or front of the projector. The following illustration shows the range of the remote controller 
signal.
Remote Controller Range
The allowable distance between the remote controller and the projector is less when there is a sharp 
angle between the remote controller and the remote control signal receiver.
Important!To avoid running down the batteries, store the remote control unit so its keys are not pressed 
inadvertently.

The MONITOR OUT terminal of the projector outputs the video signal being input via the COMPUTER 
IN 1 terminal or COMPUTER IN 2 terminal as-is. This makes it possible to simultaneously output the 
projection image to another display.
NotezThe signals output from the MONITOR OUT terminal and speaker (or AUDIO OUT terminal)*1 
when the projector is turned on depends on the selected input source as shown in the table 
below.
zThe projector can be configured so the input signal from the COMPUTER IN 1 terminal is 
output to MONITOR OUT terminal, while the input signal from the AUDIO IN 1 terminal is 
output to AUDIO OUT terminal, even if the projector is in the standby state. For details, see 
“Standby RGB/Audio” (page 47) under “Option Settings 2 Main Menu”.
Using the MONITOR OUT Terminal
When this input source 
is selected:The video input signal from this 
terminal is output to the MONITOR

terminal is output to the speaker 
(or AUDIO OUT terminal):

*2 The video input signal is output from either Computer 1 or Computer 2, in accordance with 
the last selected input source (COMPUTER IN1 terminal or COMPUTER IN 2 terminal). For 
example, even if the input source is switched from Computer 1 to S-video, the MONITOR 
OUT terminal continues output the video input signal from COMPUTER IN 1.

The projector can be hung from a ceiling. When doing so, the projector should be turned upside down, 
and secured to the ceiling. You also need to install a safety wire to ensure that the projector cannot fall 
accidentally. To attach the safety wire, remove the sticker on the bottom of the projector and attach 
the wire there.
For full details, contact the retailer where you purchased the projector.
Important!zWhen hanging the projector from a ceiling, make sure that it is at least one meter away from 
fire detectors, fire alarms, and other fire protection devices. Locating the projector too close to 
a fire protection device creates the risk of mis-operation of the device due to warm air 
exhausted from the projector. Also, avoid locating the projector close to fluorescent lights or 
other strong light sources. Bright light can shorten the operating range of the remote controller 
or even make remote control impossible. When selecting a location for the projector, be sure 
to test for proper operation of the remote controller.
zThe vertical and horizontal orientation of the projected image is reversed from the normal 
configuration when projecting from a projector hung from the ceiling. You need to change the 
setup of the projector in order to correct for this. For details, see “Ceiling Mount” (page 42) 
under “Screen Settings Main Menu”.
