Advanced Progressive (Can only be adjusted for 525i and 625i image signals)
Changes signals from Faroudjas interlaced
 mode to progressive (IP) 
conversion mode.
•
•• •OFF :Progressive (IP) conversion is carried out for the screens in 
each field. It is designed for use when viewing images with 
large amounts of movement. The DCDi function
 does 
not operate.
•
•• •Video :Turns off the Film judgment function. The DCDi 
function operates.
•
•• •Film/Auto :This setting should normally be used. The projector 
automatically determines whether the signal source is a 
film source or not. If the source is a film source, the 3-2 
pull-down function operates so that film images which 
match the original are reproduced. The DCDi function 
operates.Film/Auto
Motion 
Detect(Can only be adjusted for 525i and 625i image signals)
Switches the three-dimensional Y/C separation function
 and the 
operating mode for progressive (IP) conversion depending on whether the 
images are moving quickly or slowly.
If a lower setting is used, flickering is reduced and images become sharper 
and more distinct. This mode is ideally suited for viewing still images.
If a larger setting is used, images are projected more smoothly with less 
jerkiness. This mode is ideally suited for viewing moving images. Adjust to 
suit the type of images being viewed.3
Noise 
Reduction(Can only be adjusted for 525i and 625i image signals)
Reduces image interference and makes the image quality softer. Two 
modes are available. Use the setting that best suits the images being

Troubleshooting
When Having Some Trouble
If you are having a problem with the projector, first check the projectors indicators.
The projector is provided with the following three indicators. These indicators alert you to problems with projector 
operation.
The following tables show what the indicators mean and how to remedy problems that they indicate.
    : lit   : flashing   : off
Indicator statusProjector statusProblem and remedyReference 
page
Internal problem Stop using the projector, disconnect the power cord from the 
electrical outlet, and contact your dealer or the nearest address 
provided at “International Warranty Conditions” in 
Safety 
Instructions/World-Wide Warranty Terms included in the 
package.
Fan problem/Sensor 
problemStop using the projector, disconnect the power cord from the 
electrical outlet, and contact your dealer or the nearest address 
provided at “International Warranty Conditions” in 
Safety 
Instructions/World-Wide Warranty Terms included in the 
package.
Lamp problem Replace the lamp with a new one.
When replacing the lamp, check that the lamp and the lamp cover 
are securely installed. If the lamp or lamp cover is not securely 
installed, the projector power will not turn on.p.46
Lamp operating 
errorThis can happen when the main power switch at the rear of the 
projector was turned off before the cool-down
 period had 
finished the last time the projector was turned off, and it was then 
turned back on again before one hour had passed.
When turning off the projector, wait 2 minutes. After about 2 
minutes, the cooling fan will stop. When the cooling fan stops, 
turn off the main power switch and then turn it back on again. 
When the main power switch is turned back on, the projector will 
return to its previous state, so press the [Power] button on either 
the remote control or the projectors control panel to turn it back 
on. If the lamp operating error happens again when the power is 
turned back on, remove the lamp and check if the lamp is broken. 
If it is not broken, reinstall it. If it is broken, replace it. Then turn 
on the main power switch at the rear of the projector and press 
the [Power] button on either the remote control or the projectors 
control panel.
If the indicators still show a problem, stop using the projector, 
turn off the main power switch, disconnect the power cord from 
the electrical outlet, and contact your dealer or the nearest 
address provided at “International Warranty Conditions” in 
Safety Instructions/World-Wide Warranty Terms included in the 
package.p.46

High temperature 
inside projector 
(overheating)The lamp will turn off automatically and projection will stop. 
Wait for about 5 minutes without operating the projector. After 5 
minutes have elapsed, the projectors cooling fan will stop. When 
the cooling fan stops, turn off the main power switch and then 
turn it back on again.
If the projector overheats, check the following two points.
•
•• •Is the setting-up location well ventilated?
Check that the air inlet and air outlet are clear, and that the 
projector is not positioned against a wall.
•
•• •Is the air filter blocked with dust?
If the air filter is dirty, it should be cleaned.
When the main power switch is turned back on, the projector will 
return to its previous state, so press the [Power] button on either the 
remote control or the projectors control panel to turn it back on. If 
the projector continues to overheat even after the above points have 
been checked, or if the indicators show a problem when the power 
is turned back on, stop using the projector, turn off the main power 
switch, disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet, and 
contact your dealer or the nearest address provided at 
“International Warranty Conditions” in 
Safety Instructions/World-
Wide Warranty Terms included in the package.

High-speed cooling 
in progress(This is not an abnormality, but if the temperature rises too high 
again, projection will stop automatically.)
•
•• •Set the projector up in a place which is well-ventilated, and so 
that the air inlet and exhaust vents are clear.
•
•• •Clean the air filter.* The appearance of the   indicator at this time will vary 
depending on the status of the projector.
Setup Guide
p.44
Lamp will soon need 
to be replaced.(No abnormality)
Have a new replacement lamp ready.
The lamp service life can become shorter than normal as a result 
of the usage conditions, and so the lamp should be replaced as 
soon as possible.
* The appearance of the   indicator at this time will vary 
depending on the status of the projector.
p.45
Standby condition (No abnormality)
Projection starts when the [Power] button on either the remote 
control or the projectors control panel is pressed.p.6
Warm-up in progress (No abnormality)
Wait for a short while. The indicator will stop flashing and light 
with a green color.p.7
Projecting in 
progress(No abnormality) p.7
Cool-down in 
progress(No abnormality)
•
•• •Wait for a short while.
The cool-down (lamp cooling operation) period lasts for 
about 2 minutes. The actual time will vary depending on factors 
such as the ambient air temperature.
•
•• •The [Power] button on either the remote control or the 
projectors control panel will not operate during the cool-down 
period. When cool-down is complete, the indicator will stop 
flashing and light orange. You can then use the [Power] button.
•
•• •If the main power switch at the rear of the projector is turned 
off before cool-down is complete, wait for the lamp to cool 
down (normally about one hour is required) before turning the 
power back on again.p.8
•
•• •If the projector is not operating properly even though the indicators are all showing normal, refer 
to When the Indicators Provide No Help on the following page.

“Not Suppored.” message appears on the screen.
“No-Signal.”message appear on the screen.
Probable causeRemedy
Does the input signal setting match the 
connected source?Use the “Video Signal”, “Input A” or “Input B” 
commands in the “Advanced” menu to select the signal 
format that matches the connected source.
“Advanced” - “Video Signal”, “Input A”, “Input B” 
(p.29)
Has the correct image input port been 
selected?Press the [Source] button on the projectors control 
panel (or the [D-RGB], [A], [B], [Video] or [S-Video] 
button on the remote control) to change the image 
source. (p.7)
Is the power for the computer or video source 
turned on?Turn on the power. (p.7)
Check the mode which corresponds to the 
frequency of the image signals being output 
from the computer.Refer to the documentation provided with your 
computer for details on changing the resolution and 
frequency of the image signals being output from the 
computer. (p.50)
If a laptop computer or a computer with a 
LCD screen has been connected to the 
projector, it is necessary to output the image 
signals to the projector rather than to the 
screen.Normally image signals are output to only the 
computers LCD screen, so you need to change the 
output to an external destination. For some computer 
models, when the image signals are output externally, 
they no longer appear on the LCD screen. For details, 
refer to the section of the documentation provided with 
your computer under a heading such as External 
output, Connecting an external monitor or similar.
