TROUBLESHOOTING 
Common problems and solutions 
These guidelines provide tips to deal with problem s you may encounter while using the projector. 
If the problem remains unsolved, c ontact your dealer for assistance. 
Often after time spent troubleshooting, the problem is traced to so mething as simple as a loose 
connection. Check the follow ing before proceeding to the  problem-specific solutions. 
•  Use some other electrical device to confirm that the electrical outlet is working. 
•   Ensure the projector is turned on. 
•   Ensure all connections are securely attached.  
•   Ensure the attached device is turned on. 
•   Ensure a connected PC is not in suspending mode. 
•   Ensure a connected notebook computer is configured for an external display. 
(This is usually done by pressing an Fn-key combination on the notebook.) 
Tips for Troubleshooting 
In each problem-specific section,  try the steps in the order suggested. This may help you to solve 
the problem more quickly. 
Try to pin point the problem and thus  avoid replacing non-defective parts.  
For example, if you replace batteries and the problem remains, put the original batteries back and 
go to the next step.  
Keep a record of the steps you take when troubl eshooting: The information may be useful when 
calling for technical support or for passing on to service personnel.

HDMI Q & A 
Q. What is the difference between a “Standard” HDMI cable and a “High-Speed” 
HDMI cable? 
Recently, HDMI Licensing, LLC announced that  cables would be tested as Standard or High-
Speed cables.  
˙ Standard (or “category 1”) HDMI cables have been tested to perform at speeds of 75Mhz or up 
to 2.25Gbps, which is the equivalent of a 720p/1080i signal.  
˙ High Speed (or “category 2”) HDMI cables have been  tested to perform at speeds of 340Mhz or 
up to 10.2Gbps, which is the highest bandwidt h currently available over an HDMI cable and 
can successfully handle 1080p signals including  those at increased color depths and/or 
increased refresh rates from the Source. High -Speed cables are also able to accommodate 
higher resolution displays, such as WQXGA cinema monitors (resolution of 2560 x 1600). 
 
Q. How do I run HDMI cables longer than 10 meters? 
There are many HDMI Adopters working on HDMI  solutions that extend a cable’s effective 
distance from the typical 10 meter range to much longer lengths. These companies manufacture 
a variety of solutions that include active cables  (active electronics built into cables that boost and 
extend the cable’s signal), re peaters, amplifiers as well as CAT5/6 and fiber solutions. 
 
Q. How can I tell if a cable is an HDMI certified cable? 
All HDMI products are required to  be certified by the manufacturer as part of the HDMI 
Compliance Test Specification. However, ther e may be instances where cables bearing the 
HDMI logo are available but have not been proper ly tested. HDMI Licensing, LLC actively 
investigates these instances to ensure that t he HDMI trademark is properly used in the market. 
We recommend that consumers buy their cables  from a reputable source and a company that is 
trusted.
