Solving Problems
The image isn’t square, but trapezoid-shaped.
Make sure the projector isnt placed off to one side of the screen,
at an angle. Place the projector directly in front of the center of
the screen, facing the screen squarely.
If youve tilted the projector upward by extending the legs, the
image will be broader at the top. Hold down the
+
or
side of the
Keystone
button on top of the projector until the image is
square.
The image contains static or noise.
If youve connected a device to the Computer 2/Component
Video port, make sure the
BNC
option in the Setting menu is
correct. See the Administrators Manual.
If youre using a computer cable longer than 6 feet, the image
quality may be reduced.
Keep your computer and video cables separated from the power
cord as much as possible to prevent interference.
The video signal may be split between the computer and the
projector. If you notice a decline in the projected image quality
when the image is displayed simultaneously on your laptop
computer and the projector, turn off the laptops LCD display;
see your laptops manual for instructions.
The image is blurry.
There may be dirt or smears on the lens. Clean the lens as
described in the Administrators Manual.
Adjust the focus using the focus ring.
Adjust the
Sharpness
setting in the Video menu (see the
Administrators Manual). If youre projecting from a computer,
you may also need to adjust the
Tracking
and
Sync
as described
in the next section. If you dont like the new settings, you can
always select
Reset
to return to the factory default settings.
