193 9. Appendix Common Problems & Solutions (→ “Power/Status/Lamp Indicator” on page 192.) ProblemCheck These Items Does not turn on or shut down • Check that the power cord is plugged in and that the power button on the projector cabinet or the remote control is on� (→ pages 13, 14)• Ensure that the lamp cover is installed correctly. (→ page 149)• 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 c\ ooler 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 104)• 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/1600 meters or higher� Using the projector at altitudes approximately 5500 feet/1600 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 97) 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 93, 100) No picture • Use the COMPUTER1, the COMPUTER2, the VIDEO or the S-VIDEO button on the remote control to select your source (Computer, Video or S-Video)� (→ page 16) 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 85)• Ensure that the lens cover is open. (→ page 5)• Reset the settings or adjustments to factory preset levels using the [RESET] in the Menu. (→ page 104)• Enter your registered keyword if the Security function is enabled. (→ page 30)• 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 becomes 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 97) Color tone or hue is unusual • Check if an appropriate color is selected in [WALL COLOR]. If so, select an appropriate option. (→ page 92)• Adjust [HUE] in [PICTURE]. (→ page 85) Image isn’t square to the screen • Reposition the projector to improve its angle to the screen. (→ page 17)• Use the Keystone correction function to correct the trapezoid distortion. (→ page 22) Picture is blurred • Adjust the focus. (→ page 19)• Reposition the projector to improve its angle to the screen. (→ page 17)• Ensure that the distance between the projector and screen is within the adjustment range of the lens. (→ page 130) • 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 condensati\ on on the lens� Flicker appears on screen • Set [FAN MODE] to other than [HIGH ALTITUDE] mode when using the projector at altitudes approximately 5500 feet/1600 meters or lower � Using the projector at altitudes less than approximately 5500 feet/1600 meters and setting to [HIGH ALTI-TUDE] can cause the lamp to overcool, causing the image to flicker � Switch [FAN MODE] to [AUTO]� (→ page 9 7) Image is scrolling vertically, horizontally 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 199)• Adjust the computer image manually with the Horizontal/Vertical in the [IMAGE OPTIONS]. (→ page 87) Remote control does not work • Install new batteries.(→ page 9)• Make sure there are no obstacles between you and the projector.• Stand within 22 feet (7 m) of the projector. (→ page 9) Indicator is lit or blinking • See the POWER/STATUS/LAMP Indicator. (→ page 192) Cross color in RGB mode • Press the AUTO ADJ. button on the projector cabinet or the remote control. (→ page 24)• Adjust the computer image manually with [CLOCK]/[PHASE] in [IMAGE OPTIONS] in the menu. (→ page 86) For more information contact your dealer.
194 9. 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 102 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 × 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.

HDCP is an acronym for High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection. High bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) is a system for preventing illegal copying of video data sent over a Digital Visual Interface (DVI). If you are unable to view material via the HDMI input, this does not necessarily mean the projector is not functioning properly. With the implementation of HDCP, there may be cases in which certain content is protected with HDCP and might not be dis-played due to the decision/intention of the HDCP community (Digital Content Protection, LLC).*5 An image with higher or lower resolution than the projector’s native resolution (P420X/P350X: 1024 × 768 / P350W: 1280 × 800) will be displayed with Advanced AccuBlend.
