BASIC TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS The following is a basic troubleshooting guide that can assist you in resolving typical problems may result in normal operation. If you have encountered problems that are not listed in this guide, please contact your Runco dealer for assistance. PROBLEMPOSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION The Projector does not turn on after initial installation. The Power LED on the front of the Controller stays red after the power button is pressed. · The DVI cable is not connected between the Controller and Projector, or is connected improperly. · The projector is not plugged in, or its AC outlet is not active. Look at its power LED and see if it is illuminated. · Ensure it is firmly plugged into both the Controller and the Projector. · Verify that the AC outlet is active, or that the Projector is plugged in. The Projector and Controller are both on, but there is no video image on- screen. · The Controller is on the wrong source. · The Controller is on the correct source, but the source itself is off. · Press MENU on the Projector’s remote, and look to see which source is active (the arrow will be pointing to the active source). Select the correct source as appropriate. · Turn on the source. It is recommended that all sources be turned on first BEFORE the VX-2c. The Projector is producing a ‘split screen’ or an otherwise scrambled image. · A progressive scan DVD is plugged into Component input rather than the RGB/Component input. · Only NTSC/PAL can be input to the Component input. Progressive scan must go into RGB/Component. The image appears too bright, and there is a loss of definition in the brightest areas of the image. · Contrast is set too high. · The DVD player is set for a high-level output. · The video signal has not been terminated properly somewhere in the system. · Turn down the CONTRAST level on the Controller. · Set the DVD player for a nominal output (no boost or gain). · Ensure all video signals are terminated in 75 Ohms. The image appears too ‘washed out’, or the darkest areas of the image appear too bright. · Brightness is set too high. · The DVD player may be set for too high of a brightness level. · Turn down the BRIGHTNESS level on the Controller. If possible, use a PLUGE pattern to set the brightness level properly. · Set the DVD player for a nominal output (no boost or gain). The colors of the image appear abnormal · The Red, Green and/or Blue outputs of the Controller or inputs to the Projector are reversed. · The Pr and Pb inputs on the Component input on the Controller are reversed · Check the cable connections on the back of the Controller or on the Projector. The Projector will not turn back on after it was powered-down, or the image disappears during operation. · The Projector will not turn on for two minutes after power-down to protect its bulb. · The bulb has failed · Wait two minutes until the LED on the front of the Controller turns red. 29
