Probable cause
Remedy
Has the focus been adjusted correctly?
Adjust the focus. (p.14)
Has the front adjustable foot been adjusted 
so that the projection angle is too big?
If the projection angle is too big, the image will be out 
of focus vertically.
Adjust the projection angle. (p.11)
Is the projector at the correct distance?
The recommended distance from the projector to the 
screen is within 0.9 - 13 m (2.9 - 42.6 ft). Set up the 
projector so that the projection distance is within this 
range. (Setup Guide)
Is the projector beam perpendicular to the 
screen?
Adjust the projection angle so that the projector beam 
is perpendicular to the screen. (p.11)
Is the lens dirty?
Clean the lens. (p.46)
Has condensation formed on the lens?
If the projector is suddenly taken from a cold 
environment to a warm environment, condensation may 
form on the lens, and this may cause the images to 
appear fuzzy.
Turn off the power and wait for the condensation to 
disappear.
Does the input signal setting match the 
connected source?
Use the “Video Signal”, “INPUT A Signal” or “INPUT 
B Signal” commands in the “Signal” menu to select the 
signal format that matches the connected source.
“Signal” - “Video Signal”, “INPUT A Signal”, 
“INPUT B Signal” (p.30)
Are the cables connected correctly?
Check that all cables that are required for projection are 
connected correctly. (Setup Guide)
Is an extension cable being used?
If an extension cable is used, electrical interference 
may increase.
Use the accessory cables provided, or connect a signal 
amplifier and see if this helps.
Have the synchronization , tracking and 
display position been adjusted correctly?
(When connected to a computer)
Press the [AUTO] button on either the remote control 
or the projector's control panel to adjust these settings. 
You can also use the menus to make the adjustment. 
(p.17, “Image” - “Tracking” , “Sync.” p.28)
Has the correct resolution been selected?
(When connected to a computer)
Set the computer so that the signals that are output are 
compatible with this projector. Refer to the 
documentation provided with your computer for details 
on changing the settings. (p.52)
