■ Circuit Protections This projector is equipped with the following circuit protections to operate in safety. If the abnormality occurs inside the projector, it will automatically turn off by operating one of the following protection circuits. ● Fuse The fuse is located inside of the projector. When either the LAMP indicator or the READY indicator is not illuminated, fuse may be opened.
Circuit Protections ● Warning temperature and power failure protection The TEMP WARNING indicator flashes red and the projector will automatically turn off when the internal tempera- ture of the projector exceeds the normal temperature or when stopping cooling fans or when the internal power supply lines are failed.
■ Mechanical Disassemblies Mechanical disassemble should be made following procedures in numerical order. Following steps show the basic procedures, therefore unnecessary step may be ignored. Caution: The parts and screws should be placed exactly the same position as the original otherwise it may cause loss of performance and product safety.

■ Troubleshooting No Power This projector provides a function which can be specified a defective area simply by indicating the LEDs on the con- trol panel. Connect the AC cord and press the Power button once and then check the LED indication. - When all the LED indicators are not lighting, the symptom indicates that the primary power supply circuit does not operate properly.
Page 48
Troubleshooting - When the WARNING TEMP indicator (red) is flashing, the symptom indicates that the projector detected an abnormal temperature risen inside the projector. Check the air filters and remove the object near the intake and exhaust fan openings, and wait until the WARNING TEMP indicator flashing stops, and then try to turn on the projector.
Troubleshooting No Picture The possible causes of No Picture are listed below. Please check following and refer to video signal processing dia- RGB (Scart) Input grams in the figure. Check RGB(Scart) signal at pins 1, 3 and 5 of IC1201. Check RGB signals at pins 3-4, 7-8 and 11-12 of K30Q 1.
Troubleshooting No Sound 1. No audio signals at AV input circuit. 3. No audio output signal at speakers. Check audio signals at pins 1, 12 (CG1), 5, 14 (CG2) and Check audio signals at pins 3, 4 and 1, 2 of K16S on M 2, 15 (VIDEO) of IC5001 on AV Board.
Troubleshooting Lens Motor Problems 1. No drive signals supplied at motors Logic Table of IC1611/IC1602/IC1601 Check drive signals at pins 1 and 2 of K16M for focus Input Output Operation motor, pins 3 and 4 of K16M for zoom motor and pins 1 and 3 of K16L for lens shift motor on M Drive Board.
