Section 4: Troubleshooting

4.5.3 Image Appears Vertically Stretched or 'Squeezed' into Center of Screen

Source data converted from film and "pre-squeezed" for Roadie HD+35K display format may require use of an
anamorphic lens (or resizing) to regain full "scope" image width and proper proportions.

4.5.4 The Projector is ON, but There is No Display

Check the following:
• Ensure the lens cap is not on the lens.
• Ensure shutter is OPEN.
• If the lamp is not ignited, press Lamp ON from the standard IR remote or built-in keypad.
• Ensure AC power is connected.
• Is an active source connected properly? Check the cable connections and ensure the alternative source is
selected.
• Can you access test patterns? If so, check source connections again.

4.5.5 The Display is Jittery or Unstable

Check the following:
• If the image display is jittery or blinking erratically, ensure the source is properly connected and of adequate
quality for detection. With a poor quality or improperly connected source, the projector will repeatedly
attempt to display an image, however briefly.
• The horizontal or vertical scan frequency of the input signal may be out of range for the projector.
• The sync signal may be inadequate. Correct the source problem.

4.5.6 The Display is Faint

Check the following:
1. The source may be double terminated. Ensure the source is terminated only once.
2. The source (if non-video) may need sync tip clamping.

4.5.7 The Upper Portion of the Display is Waving, Tearing or Jittering

This can occur with video or VCR sources. Check your source.

4.5.8 Portions of the Display are Cut OFF or Warped to the Opposite edge

Resizing may need adjustment. Adjust until entire image is visible and centered.

4.5.9 Display Appears Compressed (Vertically Stretched)

Check the following:
• The frequency of the pixel sampling clock is incorrect for the current source.
• Sizing and positioning options may be adjusted poorly for the incoming source signal.
