7. Appendix
Common	Problems	&	Solutions (→ “Power/Status/Lamp Indicator” on page 68.)
ProblemCheck	These	Items
Does not turn onor shut down•	 Check 	that 	the 	power 	cable 	is 	plugged 	in 	and 	that 	the 	power 	button 	on 	the 	projector 	cabinet 	or 	the 	remote	control is on. (→ pages 16 and 17)•	 Ensure	that	the	lamp	cover	is	installed	correctly. 	(→ page 67)•	 Check	to	see	 if	the	 projector	 has	overheated. 	If	 there	 is	insufficient	 ventilation	around	the	projector	 or	if	the room where you are presenting is particularly warm, move the projector to a cooler location.•	Check to see if you continue to use the projector for another 100 hours after the lamp has reached the end of its life. If so, replace the lamp. After replacing the lamp, reset the lamp hours used. (→ page 63)•	 The	lamp	may	fail	to	light. 	Wait	a	full	minute	and	then	turn	on	the	power	again.•	 Set 	[FAN 	MODE] 	to 	[HIGH 	ALTITUDE] 	when 	using 	the 	projector 	at 	altitudes 	approximately 	5500 	feet/1700	meters or higher. Using the projector at altitudes approximately 5500 feet/1700 meters or higher without setting	 to	[HIGH	 ALTITUDE]	 can	cause	 the	projector	 to	overheat	 and	the	projector	 could	shut	down. 	If	this happens, wait a couple minutes and turn on the projector. (→ page 57)  If you turn on the projector immediately after the lamp is turned off, the fans run without displaying an image for some time and then the projector will display the image.  Wait for a moment.
Will turn off•	 Ensure	that	the	[OFF	 TIMER]	or	[AUTO	POWER	OFF]	is	off. 	(→ page 59, 60)
No picture•	 Use	the	COMPUTER1,	 the	VIDEO	 or	the	 S-VIDEO	 button	on	the	 remote	 control	to	select	 your	source	(Computer, Video or S-Video). (→ page 19) If there is still no picture, press the button again.•	 Ensure	your	cables	are	connected	properly.•	 Use	menus	to	adjust	the	brightness	and	contrast. 	(→ page 45)•	 Remove	the	lens	cap.•	Reset	the	settings	or	adjustments	to	factory	preset	levels	using	the	[RESET]	in	the	Menu. 	(→ page 63)•	 Enter	your	registered	keyword	if	the	Security	function	is	enabled.	(→ page 31)•	 Be	sure	to	connect	 the	projector	 and	notebook	 PC	while	 the	projector	 is	in	 standby	 mode	and	before	turning on the power to the notebook PC. In most cases the output signal from the notebook PC is not turned on unless connected to the projector before being powered up.* If the screen goes blank while using your remote control, it may be the result of the computer’s screen-saver or power management software.•	 See	also	the	next page.
Picture  suddenly  be-comes dark•	Check if the projector is in the Forced ECO mode because of too high ambient temperature. If this is the case, lower	the	internal	temperature	of	the	projector	by	selecting	[HIGH]	for	[FAN	MODE]. 	(→ page 57)
Color  tone  or  hue  is unusual•	Check	if	an	appropriate	color	is	selected	in	[WALL	COLOR].	If	so,	select	an	appropriate	option.	(→ page 51)•	 Adjust	[HUE]	in	[PICTURE].	(→ page 45)
Image  isn’t  square  to the screen•	 Reposition	the	projector	to	improve	its	angle	to	the	screen. 	(→ page 20)•	 Use	the	Keystone	correction	function	to	correct	the	trapezoid	distortion. 	(→ page 23)
Picture is blurred•	 Adjust	the	focus.	(→ page 22)•	 Reposition	the	projector	to	improve	its	angle	to	the	screen. 	(→ page 20)•	 Ensure	that	the	distance	 between	 the	projector	 and	screen	 is	within	 the	adjustment	 range	of	the	 lens. (→ page 9)•	 Condensation	 may	form	 on	the	 lens	 if	the	 projector	 is	cold,	 brought	 into	a	warm	 place	and	is	then	 turned	on. Should this happen, let the projector stand until there is no condensat\
ion on the lens.
F l i c k e r   a p p e a r s   o n screen•	 Set	 [FAN	MODE]	 to	other	 than	[HIGH	 ALTITUDE]	 mode	when	using	the	projector	 at	altitudes	 approxi-mately  5500  feet/1700  meters  or  lower.  Using  the  projector  at  altitudes  less  than  approximately  5500 feet/1700	 meters	and	setting	 to	[HIGH	 ALTITUDE]	 can	cause	 the	lamp	 to	overcool,	 causing	the	image	to	flicker. 	Switch	[FAN	MODE]	to	[AUTO]. 	(→ page 57)
Image is scrolling verti-cally,	hor izontally 	or	both
•	 Check	 the	computer's	 resolution	and	frequency. 	Make	 sure	that	the	resolution	 you	are	trying	 to	display	is supported by the projector. (→ page 75)•	Adjust	the	computer	image	manually	with	the	Horizontal/Vertical	in	the	[IMAGE	OPTIONS]. 	(→ page 48)
Remote  control  does not work•	 Install	new	batteries.(→ page 7)•	 Make	sure	there	are	no	obstacles	between	you	and	the	projector.•	 Stand	within	22	feet	(7	m)	of	the	projector.	(→ page 7)•	 Make	sure	that	the	remote	control's	ID	corresponds	with	the	projector's	ID. 	(→ page 56)
Indicator  is  lit  or  blink-ing•	 See	the	POWER/STATUS/LAMP	Indicator.	(→ page 68)

7. Appendix
If	there	is	no	picture,	or	the	picture	is	not	displayed	correctly.
•	 Power	on	process	for	the	projector	and	the	PC.
 Be sure to connect the projector and notebook PC while the projector is in standby mode and before turning on 
the power to the notebook PC.
 In most cases the output signal from the notebook PC is not turned on unless connected to the projector before 
being powered up.
NOTE:	 You	can	check	 the	horizontal	 frequency	of	the	 current	 signal	in	the	 projector’s	 menu	under	 Information.	 If	it	reads	 “0kHz”,	
this	means	there	is	no	signal	being	output	from	the	computer.	(→ page 62	or	go	to	next	step)
•	 Enabling	the	computer’s	external	display.
 Displaying an image on the notebook PC’s screen does not necessarily mean it outputs a signal to the projector. 
When using a PC compatible laptop, a combination of function keys will enable/disable the external display. Usu-
ally, the combination of the “Fn” key along with one of the 12 function keys gets the external display to come on 
or	off. 	For	 example,	 NEC	laptops	 use	Fn	+	F3,	 while	 Dell	laptops	 use	Fn	+	F8	 key	 combinations	 to	toggle	 through	
external display selections.
•	 Non-standard	signal	output	from	the	computer
 If  the  output  signal  from  a  notebook  PC  is  not  an  industry  standard,  the  projected  image  may  not  be  displayed 
correctly. Should this happen, deactivate the notebook PC’s LCD screen when the projector display is in use. Each 
notebook PC has a different way of deactivate/reactivate the local LCD screens as described in the previous step. 
Refer to your computer’s documentation for detailed information.
•	 Image	displayed	is	incorrect	when	using	a	Macintosh
 When using a Macintosh with the projector, set the DIPswitch of the Mac adapter (not supplied with the projector) 
according to your resolution. After setting, restart your Macintosh for the changes to take affect.
 For setting display modes other than those supported by your Macintosh and the projector, changing the DIP switch 
on a Mac adapter may bounce an image slightly or may display nothing. Should this happen, set the DIP switch 
to	the	 13"	 fixed	 mode	 and	then	 restart	 your	Macintosh. 	After	 that,	restore	 the	DIP	 switches	 to	a	displayable	 mode	
and then restart the Macintosh again.
NOTE:	A	Video	 Adapter	 cable	manufactured	 by	Apple	 Computer	 is	needed	 for	a	PowerBook	 which	does	not	have	 a	mini	 D-Sub	
15-pin	connector.
•	 Mirroring	on	a	PowerBook
*	 When	 using	the	projector	 with	a	Macintosh	 PowerBook,	 output	may	not	be	set	 to	1024	 x	768	 unless	 “mirroring” 	
is off on your PowerBook. Refer to owner’s manual supplied with your Macintosh computer for mirroring.
•	 Folders	or	icons	are	hidden	on	the	Macintosh	screen
	 Folders	 or	icons	 may	not	be	seen	 on	the	 screen. 	Should	 this	happen,	 select	[View]	→	[Arrange]	 from	the	Apple	
menu and arrange icons.
