Troubleshooting  
 
Christie DS+60/Dw3K/Marix 3000 User’s Manual     5-1 
 
If the projector does not appear to be operating properly, note the symptoms present and use the following guide to 
assist you. If you cannot resolve the problems yourself, contact your dealer for assistance. 
NOTE: A qualified service technician
 is required when opening the projector to diagnose any “probable cause”. 
 
 
 
 
The projector is on but there’s no display... 
1.  Was a lens cover accidentally left on? Remove lens cover. 
2.  Make sure the shutter is OPEN. 
3.  Is the lamp ignited? It could take up to 3 attempts to strike a lamp. With a 90 
second wait period in between each attempt it could take a total of 4.5 minutes to 
turn the lamp on. Check 
LAMP STATUS. 
4.  Is the correct input selected? 
5.  Is the source connected properly? Check the cable connections and make sure the 
correct source is selected. 
6.  Can you access test patterns? Make sure there is not a full black test pattern 
selected for display—press 
Menu  to access test patterns, then cycle patterns 
with 
 keys. 
Severe motion artifacts… 
1.  Most likely there is a synchronization problem with reversed 3/2 pull-down in 
60Hz-to-24Hz film-to-digital conversion in your source. Correct at the source. 
Image appears “squeezed” or vertically stretched into center of screen 
1.  Check your Resizing selection. 
The display is jittery or unstable… 
1.  If the display is jittery or blinking erratically, ensure that the source is properly 
connected and of adequate quality for detection. With a poor quality or 
improperly connected source, the projector will repeatedly attempt to display an 
image, however briefly. 
2.  The horizontal or vertical scan frequency of the input signal may be out of range 
for the projector. Refer to Section 6, Specifications for scan frequency ranges. 
3.  The sync signal may be inadequate. Correct the source problem.

The display is faint… 
1.  Brightness and/or contrast may be set very low. 
2.  The source may be double terminated. Ensure the source is terminated only once. 
3.  The source (if non-video) may need a different sync tip clamp location. 
The upper portion of the display is waving, tearing or jittering… 
1.  This can sometimes occur with video or VCR sources. Check your source. 
Portions of the display are cut off or wrap to the opposite edge… 
1.  Resizing and/or blanking may need adjustment. 
The display appears compressed (vertically stretched)… 
1.  The frequency of the pixel sampling clock is incorrect for the current source. 
2.  Resizing, vertical stretch and positioning options may be improperly adjusted for 
the incoming source signal. 
Data is cropped from edges 
1.  Check settings for Blanking. 
2.  If incoming data is still missing from the image, reduce the image size to within 
the display area available in the projector.  
Display quality appears to drift from good to bad, bad to good… 
1.  The source input signal may be of low quality. 
2.  The H or V frequency of the input may have changed at the source end. 
The display has suddenly frozen… 
1.  If the screen blacks out inexplicably, it is possible that excessive voltage noise on 
the AC or ground input has interrupted the projector’s ability to lock on to a 
signal. Power down the projector and disconnect from AC. Then plug in again and 
power up as usual. 
Colors in the display are inaccurate… 
1.  The color, tint, color space, color temperature and/or other settings may require 
adjustment. 
2.  Make sure you are using the proper channel for this source. 
3. Check Color Wheel Calibration.  
The display is not rectangular… 
1.  Check leveling of the projector. Make sure that the lens surface and screen are 
as parallel to each other as possible. 
2.  Is the vertical offset correct? Adjust as necessary using the vertical offset knob. 
3.  Check if Keystone is incorrectly set. 
The display is “noisy”… 
1.  Display adjustment at your input source may be required. Adjust pixel tracking, 
phase and filter. Noise is particularly common on YPbPr signals from a DVD 
player. (If using a PC source, adjust using a high-frequency test pattern with one 
pixel on/off throughout.)   Symptom

2.  The video input may not be terminated. Make sure the video input is terminated 
(75 
Ω). If it is the last connection in a loop-through chain, the video input should 
be terminated at the last source input only. 
3.  The input signal and/or signal cables carrying the input signal may be of poor 
quality. 
4.  If the distance between the input source device and the projector is greater than 25 
feet, signal amplification/conditioning may be required. 
5.  If the source is a VCR or off-air broadcast, detail may be set too high. 
 
For more information on lamp operation modes and auto-switching, refer to Section 3 
– 3.7 The Lamp Menu. 
 
1. The projector enforces a 90 second delay between powering down and up again, 
because a hot lamp is more difficult to ignite. NOTE: It can potentially take 2 
minutes to cool a lamp sufficiently enough before re-striking it.  
1.  It takes 25 seconds for the projector to power up and strike a lamp. One of the 
inherent properties of the lamp is that it may not strike with the first attempt. The 
projector will wait 90 seconds before trying to strike the lamp again. It will try a 
total of three times (4.5 minutes total) before it declares the lamp as “Failed to 
Strike” – check 
LAMP STATUS.  
2.  Make sure the shutter is OPEN. 
1.  Did you request a lamp operation mode change during power up? The projector 
will ignore any commands sent during initialization. Wait for “ON” to appear in 
the LED status display window before entering a command. 
2.  Check the status of the lamp. The lamp operation mode will not change if there is 
a lamp with an associated failure or lamp is not installed. 
3.  Make sure you have allowed enough time for the projector to turn a lamp on. This 
can take up to 4.5 minutes, as the projector will strike a lamp up to 3 times 
waiting 90 seconds in between each attempt. Only after a lamp is successfully 
turned on will the lamp operation mode change. 
1.  Make sure the Ethernet settings are valid for your site—all network devices 
should have the same subnet mask and unique IP addresses. 
2.  Make sure to save any address change, and re-boot to implement. 
3.  If you still have trouble establishing communications with a projector added to an 
existing Ethernet network, the projector’s IP address is likely in conflict with 
another address already in use. Contact your network administrator.
