Troubleshooting

If you see a blank screen or the No signal message after turning on your video device or computer, check the following:

• Make sure the power light on the projector is blue and not flashing.
• Press the button on the projector or one of the Source buttons on the remote control to switch to the correct image source, if necessary.

• If you're using a Mac laptop, open System Preferences and select Displays. Select the VGA Display or Color LCD option if necessary, then click the Arrange or Arrangement tab, and select the Mirror Displays checkbox.

If 3D images aren't displaying properly, check the following:

• Press the 2D/3D button to switch to 3D viewing mode, if necessary.
• Make sure that you are within the 3D viewing range. For more information, see the section "Select a location".
• Check that your 3D glasses have not entered standby mode. Slide the power switch on the 3D glasses to the Off position, then back to the On position.
• Press the Menu button on your remote control, select the Signal menu, then 3D Setup, then select 3D Format. Make sure that the Auto option is selected.
• Check that your video device and media are both 3D-compatible. Refer to the documentation that came with your video device for more information.

If WirelessHD content isn't displaying properly, check the following:

• Check that the Link light on the transmitter is lit. If the light is flashing slowly, the transmitter could not connect with the projector and has entered standby mode. Verify that the projector is turned on and that all cables are properly connected as shown in the "WirelessHD Transmitter" section.
  If the Link light continues to flash, press the Input button on the transmitter and wait 5-10 seconds for the Link light to stay lit. Repeat this procedure up to five times. If the transmitter still hasn't connected to the projector, press the Reset button on the bottom of the transmitter and try again.
• Make sure the WirelessHD Transmitter is within 32 feet (10 m) of the projector, isn't obstructed by any large objects and is not placed on a metal surface.
