90 Solving Problems
The image has a distorted, crooked, or keystone (trapezoid)
shape.
■ This may be caused by extending the legs and tilting the projector
to position the image. Press the right
+ or left – side of the
projector’s Keystone button until the image is rectangular.
■ Make sure the projector faces the screen squarely. If the projector
is not pointed straight at the screen, your image will be distorted.
The image or parts of the image are blurred or not in focus.
■ Adjust the focus using the focus ring.
■ Adjust the Brightness, Contrast, Sharpness, and Gamma settings
on the Video menu. If you’re viewing a computer image, also try
adjusting the
Tracking and Sync buttons on the control panel.
When you change video settings, you should be able to see the
effect on the screen immediately.
■ Try pressing Auto on the remote control or the Enter button on
the control panel to automatically reset the video settings.
■ There may be dirt or smears on the lens. Clean the lens as
described on page 77.
The image vibrates, flickers, or has vertical lines.
If you’re projecting from a computer, try pressing Auto on the remote
control or Enter on the control panel. This resets the computer
display settings automatically. If that doesn’t work, adjust the
Tracking and Sync using the buttons on the control panel. Hold
down the button until your image looks correct. It is best to project a
gray screen (or the Windows exit screen) when you adjust these
settings. You can also change the Tracking and Sync settings through
the Video menu (see page 64).
The image quality is poor on a laptop computer.
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 laptop LCD display.
note
If you don’t like the new
settings, you can always select
Reset to return to the factory
default settings.
note
Images will be projected more
vividly if you adjust the
Tracking before the Sync .
