“NO SIGNAL” is
displayed.
• Turnonthepoweroftheconnecteddevice,orcheckwhetherthereissomething
wrong with the connected device.
• Checkwhethertheexternaldeviceoutputsignals.(Checkthisespeciallywhenthe
external device is a notebook computer.)
• Checkthatthecableconnectedtotheexternaldeviceisn’tdefective.
• Checkthattheprojectorisconnectedtotheexternaldeviceusingthecorrect
terminals.
• Checkthattheconnecteddeviceiscorrectlyselectedastheinputsource.
• Whenanextensioncordisbeingused,replaceitwiththesuppliedcableandcheck
whether images are projected correctly. If images are projected correctly, use an RGB
signal amplifier along with the extension cord.
Images are not displayed correctly.
Problem Solution
Projected images are
shaking.
Projected images are
displaced.
• Checkthatthecableconnectedtotheexternaldeviceisn’tintermittent.
• Connectthecable’splugwiththeexternaldevice’sconnectorrmly.
• PresstheAUTOPOSITIONbutton.

Projected images are
distorted.
• Adjusttheprojectorandthescreensothattheyareperpendiculartoeachother.(See

Projected images are
dark.
• AdjustBRIGHTNESSandCONTRASTintheQUICKMENUortheIMAGEmenu.(See

• Replacethelamp.(Seepage37.)
Projected images are
blurred.
• Adjustthefocus.(Seepage16.)
• Cleanthelens.
• Pressthe or button on the remote control to eliminate flicker.

Afterimages persist on
the screen.
• This phenomenon is improved by keeping projecting an evenly bright image. (Such
“image burn-in” phenomenon where afterimages persist on the screen may occur if a
stationary image is kept displayed on the screen for a long time.)
White dots are seen
on projected images.
Black dots are seen
on projected images.

Fine streaks are seen

the screen or displace the focus a little.
• Verticalorhorizontalstreaknoisemayappearontheprojectedimage,dependingon
the type of the DVD player, game console or computer you use. In such a case, you
can reduce such streak noise by enabling the LPF.
Projected images
become wavy.

• Keeptheprojectorawayfromequipmentgeneratinginterferingradiowaves.
• Whenthekeystoneadjustmentiscarriedout,theimagemaynotbedisplayed
correctly because of the type of input signal. This isn’t a product malfunction. In this
case, readjust the keystone so that the amount of keystone correction is as small as
possible.
