Problem: Projected colors don’t match the computer or video
player’s colors
Just as there are differences in the displays of different moni-
tors, there are often differences between the computer image
and the projected image. Adjust the brightness, tint and/or
contrast from the Display menu. See “Brightness” on page 17,
“Tint” on page 18 and “Contrast” on page 18.
Problem: Lamp seems to be getting dimmer
The lamp begins to lose brightness when it has been in use for
a long time. Replace the lamp as described in “Replacing the
Projection Lamp” on page 27.
Problem: Lamp shuts off
A minor power surge may cause the lamp to shut off. Unplug
the projector, wait at least a minute, then plug it back in.
Make sure the vents are not blocked.
