monitor or to the accessory monitor, you need to change the 
output. For some computer models, when the image signals are 
output externally, they no longer appear on the LCD monitor or 
accessory monitor.
Computer documentation, under a title such as External output 
or Connecting an external monitor
If the connection is made while the power is already turned on, the

Is the lens cap still attached?Remove the lens cap.
Is the projector at the optimum distance?The recommended distance from the projector to the screen is 
within 87–1365 cm (2.9–44.8 ft.) for a screen size of 16:9, and 
108–1672 cm (3.6–54.9 ft.) for a screen size of 4:3. Set up the 
projector so that the projection distance is within this range.
(Setup Guide)
Is the keystone adjustment value too 
large?Decrease the projection angle to reduce the amount of keystone 
correction. (p.13)
Has condensation formed on the lens?If the projector is suddenly taken from a cold environment to a 
warm environment or if sudden ambient temperature changes 
occur, condensation may form on the surface of the lens, and this 
may cause the images to appear fuzzy. Set the projector up in the 
room approximately one hour before it is to be used. If 
condensation forms, disconnect the power cord and let the 
projector stand for a while.
