most suitable values.
However, if the image is not perfectly centralised it may prove
useful to request the system to repeat the input signal analysis
and image positioning, calling the automatic control procedu-
re from the AUTO button on the remote control or keypad. When
this procedure is called it is helpful to have a white or light
coloured background on the screen in the current picture.
FREQUENCY/PHASE
These adjustments, available for progressive signals and for
signals from PC, ensure correspondence  between the number
of pixels making up the signal and the number of pixels making
up the projected image.
These parameters do not normally require adjustment because
the system checks the input signal and automatically sets the
most suitable values.
However, if the image appears disturbed (loss of position within
the equidistant vertical bands or instability and lack of
sharpness on the narrow vertical lines) it may help to prompt
the system to repeat the input signal analysis and determination
of the best parameters by calling the automatic adjustment
procedure with the 
AUTO key on the remote control or on thekeypad.
If the automatic procedure fails to have the required effect, enter
the frequency and phase values manually and approach the
screen sufficiently to observe the effects of the adjustments.
Y / C DELAY
In the case of Video and S-Video signals, it may be necessary
to correct horizontal colour misalignment within the projected
image. For a given video standard (e.g. PAL or NTSC) the stored
value does not normally require further fine-tuning, unless the
source or connection cable has changed.
MAGNIFICATION
Use this adjustment to magnify the projected image (please
note the higher the magnification the poorer the quality of the
image).
Adjust the level of enlargement using the  ,  keys (the
magnifying lens  icon   
  will appear at the centre of the im-
age).
Select   
  Pan (zoom button on the remote control) to choose
the area of image to enlarge, using all four arrow keys.
Via remote control, it is possible to alternate between modes,
by pressing the key.

In the event you are unable to centre the image within the screen
area, tilt the projector until the image is correctly positioned.
Any keystone error can be removed by the Keystone adjustment
in the Set up menu.
The keystone adjustement helps to compensate possible
horizontal tilts of the projector.
The kyestone adjustment is not available for model DOMINO
20 H with 1080i input signal.
PROJECTION LENS
The Zoom adjustment impacts on the motorized zoom lens
allowing to increase or decrease the dimension of the projected
image. The Focus adjustment impacts on the motorized lens
focus, allowing to obtain the highest definition on the projected
image, an accurate focus setting should allow the viewer to
distinguish each pixel that create the image one from another.

10   CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
The projector does not require internal cleaning. There are no
user serviceable parts inside the projector.  Please refer all
service requirements to qualified personnel.
Cleaning the projector’s cover:
Use a soft slightly damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners,
solvents or other harsh chemicals, as this will damage the finish
of the cover. Avoid direct cleaning of the rear panel’s screen-printing.
Cleaning the lens:
The lens may be cleaned with a very soft, non-abrasive small
brush, in order to remove dust particles.  Alternatively, use a
soft dry cleaning cloth (of the type used for camera lens
cleaning) to remove fingerprints and grease marks.
11   TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
No power  (Green and red LED are OFF)
- Check the power switch at the rear: it must be in position I.
- Check if the power cable has been connected correctly to a
working socket.
- Check the power socket fuse, at the rear of the projector.
- Replace the fuse on the mains socket with an identical type
(T 3.15A H) 
(Fig. 2).
- Should the problem persist, seek authorised technical
assistance.
The lamp is not coming on
- Allow a few minutes pause between switching off and turning
on again (from stand-by). This will allow the lamp to cool down
sufficiently.
- If the lamp doesn’t come on – even though the projector has
had sufficient time to cool down – seek technical assistance
from your nearest Dealer.
No image
- Check that the selected input is actually connected to a active
video or graphic signal.
- Check that the above source actually works.
- Verify compatibility of video/graphic signals with the   technical
specifications of the projector.
- Check the integrity of cables used to connect various sources.
- Check temperature of the room: it must be below 35°C
(95°F)- Check projector air vents on top and underneath the projector:
they must be free of obstruction.
- If the problem persists, consult your Dealer.
Image is disturbed, unstable or noisy
- Verify compatibility of video/graphic signals with the technical
specifications of the  projector.
- Check the integrity of cables connecting projector to various
sources.
- If the signal source is a terrestrial broadcast (via a VCR) check
that the receiving channel has been correctly tuned in and
that the aerial system is in good working order.
- Should the problem be present with a signal coming from a
video-recorder, ensure that the videotape is an Original “first
generation” copy and in good condition.
- Adjust the VCR’s tracking control for optimum picture perfor-
mance. Ensure the VCR mode is active in the Picture  menu.

C   PROJECTION DISTANCES
Follow the table below to determine the optimal projection distance “L” between the screen and the center of the lens. This will
help you to obtain the desired screen size.The manual lens shift adjustments allows the projected image to be moved vertically,
up or down, in relation to the centre of the screen 
(Fig.37b). If the distance “H” between the centre of the screen and the centre of
the lens exceed Hmax, it is necessary to tilt the projector and use the digital keystone to correct the image projected.
