Fixing problems
Troubleshooting suggestions
If you have a problem with your projector, check the following statement that 
most closely matches the nature of the problem, then look in that section of this 
chapter:
■“Warning light problems” on page 57
■“Start-up problems” on page 58
■“Picture problems” on page 58
■“Sound problems” on page 61
■“Interruption problems” on page 62
■“Remote control problems” on page 62
✎
If these suggestions do not solve your problem, go to 
http://www.hp.com/support for additional information. To contact HP, see 
Chapter 7, “Support and warranty.”
Warning light problems
If both red warning lights are blinking:
❏Allow the projector to cool down after it turns off. If this condition 
occurs after you restart the projector, an internal component has failed. 
Contact HP for assistance.
If the red temperature light is on or blinking:
❏Allow the projector to cool down after it turns off. Be sure that nothing is 
near or blocking the vents on the projector, and that the vents are free of 
lint and other objects. Remove any sources of excess heat in the room. 
Observe temperature and altitude limits (see “Specifications” on 
page 71). If the warning light turns on or blinks after you restart the 
projector, contact HP for assistance.

Fixing problems
If the red lamp light is on or blinking:
❏Allow the projector to cool down after it turns off. If the warning light 
turns on or blinks after you restart the projector, install a new lamp. If 
this occurs after you install a new lamp module, remove and reinstall the 
lamp module. If a new lamp does not fix the problem, contact HP for 
assistance.
If the red lamp light is flickering quickly:
❏Check that the cover around the lamp at the front of the projector is 
correctly installed and fully attached. Check the tab at the right side of 
the cover and the screw at the left side.
Start-up problems
If no lights or sounds turn on:
❏Be sure that the power cable is securely connected to the projector and 
the other end is plugged into an outlet with power.
❏Press the power button again.
❏Unplug the power cord for 15 seconds, then plug it in and press the 
power button again.
Picture problems
If a “waiting” message is displayed on a blank screen:
❏Press the source button on the projector or remote control one or more 
times until the correct source name is selected.
❏Be sure the external source is turned on and connected.
❏For a computer connection, ensure your notebook computer’s external 
video port is turned on. Refer to the computer manual. On some 
notebooks, for example, press the Fn + F4 or Fn+F5 function keys to turn 
on the external video port.
If the wrong input source is displayed:
❏Press the source button on the projector or the remote control one or 
more times to select another active input source.

If the image is out of focus:
❏Be sure the lens cover is open.
❏While displaying the on-screen menu, adjust the focus ring. (The image 
size should not change; if it does, you are adjusting the zoom, not the 
focus.)
❏Ensure the projection screen is 1 to 10 m (3 to 33 ft) from the projector.
❏Check the projection lens to see if it needs cleaning.
❏For a computer connection, set the display resolution on the computer to 
1024×768 pixels. If the computer has multiple monitors, adjust the 
resolution of the monitor assigned to the projector.
❏For a computer connected to the S-video port, the picture cannot be as 
high resolution as what you see on the computer display.
If an upside-down or reversed image is displayed:
❏The projector has been set to the wrong position setting. Press menu, go 
to Setup > Projector position, and select the correct setting.
If the image is too small or too large:
❏Adjust the zoom ring on top of the projector.
❏Move the projector closer to or farther from the screen.
❏On the projector or remote control, press the picture mode button one or 
more times to see if one of the picture modes makes the image the correct 
size.
❏Press menu, go to Picture > Customize picture mode > Stretch. Try 
the different settings.
❏If the source device sends wide-screen output, press menu, go to Picture 
> Shape settings, and try setting Widescreen input to Ye s .  Otherwise, 
set it to No.
If the image has slanted sides:
❏As much as possible, reposition the projector so that it is centered on the 
screen and below the bottom or above the top of the screen.
❏On the projector or remote control, press the keystone button until the 
sides are vertical.

Fixing problems
If the image is stretched:
❏On the projector or remote control, press the picture mode button one or 
more times to see if one of the picture modes makes the image the correct 
size.
❏Press menu, go to Picture > Customize picture mode > Stretch. Try 
the different settings.
❏If the source device sends wide-screen output, press menu, go to Picture 
> Shape settings, and try setting Widescreen input to Ye s .  Otherwise, 
set it to No.
If the projected colors seem slightly wrong:
❏Press menu, go to Picture > Color settings, and adjust the color settings 
as needed.
❏Press menu, go to Picture > Color settings > Color space. Try the 
different settings.
❏Press menu, go to Help > Diagnostics, and run the color test.
If the projected colors seem completely wrong:
❏Be sure the pins on the cable connectors are not bent or broken.
❏Press menu, go to Picture > Color settings > Color space. Try the 
different settings.
❏Press menu, go to Help > Diagnostics, and run the color test.
❏Press menu, go to Picture > Color settings > Reset color settings, and 
press ok.
❏Press menu, go to Setup > Reset all settings, and press ok.
If the picture is not clear (ghost images, smearing, poor quality):
❏Be sure the video cable you are using is coaxial cable rated at 75 ohms. 
Any other cable or impedance rating can reduce picture quality.
❏The video cable connecting the video source to the projector probably 
must be higher quality, especially if the cable is longer than about 3 m 
(10 ft). Low-loss cable is recommended for longer distances to avoid 
degrading or losing the picture
If a DVI source is not displayed when the DVI port is selected:
❏Press menu, go to Setup > DVI compatibility, and select Standard 
DVI.
