56Solving Problems The image vibrates, flickers, or has vertical lines. Adjust the Tracking and Sync settings on the Video menu (or through the projector’s Help system). It is best to project a full screen containing black text on a white background (such as a letter) when you adjust these settings. Hold down the button to change the setting until your image looks correct. See page 39 for instructions on using the Video menu. Your video signal mode may not be able to be detected automatically. Select Manual and then choose the correct signal for the Mode setting on the projector’s Video menu; see page 38 for instructions. The image quality is poor on a laptop computer. The video signal may be split between the computer and the projector. Try turning off the laptop LCD display. See your laptop manual or on-screen help for instructions. The colors of the image are not right. If you’re displaying video, adjust the Brightness, Contrast, Color, Tint, and/or Gamma settings on the Video menu. See page 39 for instructions. If you’re displaying computer images, adjust the Brightness, Contrast, and/or Gamma settings on the Video menu. See page 39 for instructions. Also adjust the color temperature and RGB settings using the Color Setting option on the Advanced menu, as described on page 42. If necessary, you can also adjust your computer display settings to correct the color balance. Check the current lamp life and replace the lamp, if necessary. See page 43 for instructions on checking the lamp usage using the projector’s About menu and page 48 for instructions on replacing the lamp.
Solving Problems57 There is no sound. Press the right side of the Volume button on the remote control to turn up the sound. Press the A/VMute button on the remote control to make sure this feature is not enabled. Make sure the right source is selected. Press the Source button on top of the projector to select the right source. Make sure the volume on your computer or video source is not turned all the way down or muted. See your Windows or Macintosh online help for instructions. Also, make sure the cables are connected correctly, as described in Chapter 1. Make sure the correct Audio Input signal is selected on the projector’s Audio menu; see page 41 for instructions. Problems with the Remote Control The projector doesn’t respond to remote control commands. Make sure the remote control is turned on. The remote control batteries may be low on power or inserted incorrectly. Check or replace them following the instructions on page 31. Dim the room lights, turn off any fluorescent lights, and move the projector away from direct sunlight. Strong lighting, especially fluorescent lights, may affect the projector’s infrared receiver. Turn off any nearby equipment that emits infrared energy, such as a radiant room heater. Make sure you are within 32 feet of the projector and within a 30° horizontal or 15° vertical angle of the infrared receiver on the front of the projector. If you’re having trouble using the remote control as a wireless mouse, make sure the mouse cable is securely connected to both ends. See Chapter 1 for details. R/C switch
