Maintenance and Troubleshooting Vidikron Vision Model 15 Installation/Operation Manual 57 5.7 Troubleshooting Tips Table 5-1 provides some general guidelines for troubleshooting problems you may encounter with the Vision 15. If you encounter an issue not described here, please contact your Vidikron dealer or Vidikron Technical Support. Table 5-1. Troubleshooting Chart SymptomPossible Cause(s)Solution The projector does not turn on after initial installation. The Vision 15 is not plugged in or the AC outlet is not active. The remote control batteries have run out. Ensure that the Vision 15 is plugged in and that the AC outlet is active. Replace the batteries. The projector is on, but there is no video image on-screen. Incorrect source selection. Source component is not turned on. Select the correct source. Turn on the source component. A projected image from a DVD is split or otherwise scrambled. progressive scan mode. Turn off progressive scan on the DVD player. Connect the DVD player to the Component input. Image is too bright and/or lacks definition in the bright areas of the image. Contrast is set too high. Lower the contrast setting. Image appears “washed out” and/or dark areas appear too bright. Brightness is set too high. Lower the brightness setting. Colors in the image are swapped; for example, reds appear blue or vice versa. The Red/Pr, Green/Y or Blue/Pb outputs from the source are connected to the wrong inputs on the Vision 15. Ensure that the source outputs are connected to the correct Vision 15 input. RGB-HD images appear “noisy.” Clock and Phase settings need adjustment. Manually adjust Clock and Phase settings (refer to YUV/RGB Adjust on page 47). 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 the lamp. The lamp has failed or was improperly installed. Wait until the cooling fan stops. Replace or re-install the lamp.

Vidikron Vision Model 15 Installation/Operation Manual 59 6.1 RS-232 Connection and Port Configuration To interface the Vision 15 with a home theater automation/control system or a PC running terminal emulation software, connect it to your control system or PC as shown in Figure 3-13. Configure the RS-232 controller or PC serial port as follows: no parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit and no flow control. Set the baud rate to 9600, to match that of the Vision 15 RS-232 port. 6.2 Serial Command Syntax Table 6-1 lists the RS-232 command set. All commands are in ASCII format and must be in UPPERCASE. When you send a valid command, the Vision 15 executes it and acknowledges it with the first three characters of the command followed by “OK;” for example, “RRAOK.“ When you send an invalid command, the Vision 15 ignores it and returns the first three characters of the command followed by “NG;” for example, “RRXNG.“ 6Serial Communications Table 6-1.
