Is the computer's image signal set to external
output and to output to the LCD monitor at
the same time?Depending on the computer's specifications, moving images
may not be displayed when the computer is set to external out-
put and to the LCD monitor output at the same time.
Change it so that the image signal is set to external output only.
For the computer's specifications, see the documentation sup-
plied with the computer.

Do the image signal's frequency and resolu-
tion correspond to the mode?Check the image signal being input in Resolution from the Con-
figuration menu, and check that it corresponds to the projector's
resolution.

the image signals are output externally, they no longer appear
on the LCD monitor.
For the computer's specifications, see the documentation sup-
plied with the computer.
If the connection is made while the power of the projector or the

Check Remedy
Has condensation formed on the lens? If the projector is suddenly taken from a cold environment to a
warm environment, or if sudden ambient temperature changes
occur, condensation may form on the surface of the lens, and this
may cause the images to appear fuzzy. Set the projector up in
the room about one hour before it is used. If the projector is wet
from condensation, turn off the projector, disconnect the power
cord, and leave it for a while.
Interference or distortion appear in images

nals)
Are the Sync. and Tracking settings adjusted
correctly?The projector uses automatic adjustment functions to project at
the optimum status. However, depending on the signal, some
may not be adjusted correctly even after performing self correc-
tions. If this happens, adjust the Tracking and Sync. settings
from the Configuration menu.

the projector that prevents the 3D image from being projected,
you cannot view 3D images even if you are wearing the 3D
Glasses.
