6.  Discard the lamp using approved disposal methods for your area. NOTE: Lamps 
containing mercury must be treated as hazardous waste if discarded in large 
volumes.  
 WARNING 
Do not stick hands into an empty lamp compartment, 
especially if the other lamp is still on. The lamp 
compartment can become quite hot and cause physical 
injury. 
7.  On the new lamp module, turn the 
three lock screws to the “unlock” 
position before inserting it into the 
lamp compartment. Align the lamp 
with the three pins located at the 
back of the compartment. Insert the 
lamp all the way in until it is fully 
seated. (Figure 4.5) 
8.  Turn the three lock screws on the 
new lamp module clockwise a 
quarter turn to “lock” it in place. 
(See Figure 4.4 for lock screw 
position.) 
9.  Close the lamp door and tighten the 
screw to secure it in place. 
NOTE: The projector automatically detects a new lamp and records the serial number 
in software the next time it’s powered up. Manual entry of the serial number is not 
required.

Use the following instructions when replacing a projection lens: 
NOTE for first time use: The projection lens is shipped separately from the 
projector. Before you install a lens it is important to remove the lens plug from the 
lens opening in the projector and the protective end cap from the lens.  
1.  Power down the projector and wait 5 minutes to allow the lamps to cool before 
continuing with Step 2.  
2.  Place the lens cap on the projection lens to protect it from being damaged during 
the installation or removal process.  
3. When removing the projection lens - Press and hold the 
LENS RELEASE button 
located in the bottom right corner of the projector’s front panel. Grasp the lens 
barrel with your free hand and turn it in a counter-clockwise direction until it can 
be removed from the projector. Release the 
LENS RELEASE button.  
OR 
When installing a projection lens, make sure Steps 1 and 2 are complete. Press 
the 
LENS RELEASE button with one hand and with the other hand slide the new 
lens into the lens opening in the projector – make sure you align the notch in the 
lens with the location of the alignment pin in the lens compartment. Turn the lens 
in a clockwise direction until it is fully installed. NOTES: 1) There is a small 
alignment pin that is raised and lowered by the 
LENS RELEASE button. If this 
button is not fully depressed you will be unable to install or remove the lens. 2) 
Remove the protective end cap from any new lens before installing.

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.  The projector will not automatically switch to a single lamp operation mode if a 
lamp fails while in Dual Lamp mode. It will try to turn the lamp back on. It is 
recommended you switch to the single lamp mode for the lamp that is working if 
the projector fails to turn the second lamp on. 
3.  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. 
4.  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.
