Problem Solving

■

Check the

warning light. If it is flashing orange or red, you need to replace the lamp.

See page 49.

■

If you’re using external video equipment, check the solutions on page 61.

The DVD skips.

■

Make sure MovieMate is not tilted. Tilting it up more than 5 degrees may cause skipping
or disc scratches. Use the vertical image adjustment dial to adjust the image position.

■

Make sure there are no fingerprints on the DVD.

The remote control doesn’t work.

■

Make sure the toggle switch is in the correct position: set to

-123

to use the numeric

buttons, or to

Func.-

to use the other functions of these buttons.

■

Make sure you’re within 22 feet of MovieMate, and within range of its front or back
sensor (approximately 30° left or right, and 15° above or below).

■

You may need to replace the remote control’s batteries. Make sure they’re inserted with
the positive (+) and negative (–) ends positioned as shown in the battery compartment.

■

Some discs don’t support all of the remote control’s functions.

■

If you’re using a “universal” remote control, it might not work with MovieMate. Epson
does not support any third-party remote controls.

Solving Picture and Sound Problems

The picture is blurry or out of focus.

■

Adjust the focus using the focus ring. See page 15.

■

Make sure the lens cover is off.

■

There may be dirt on the lens. Clean the lens as described on page 47.

■

Make sure the lens is not fogged by condensation. If you’ve just moved MovieMate from
a cold environment, wait approximately an hour before using it. If condensation forms,
turn on the main power switch, then wait an hour or two before use.

■

Make sure MovieMate is placed the correct distance from the screen: no closer than
2.4 feet (73 cm) and no farther than 37 feet (11.37 m).
