Common Issues

SYMPTOMS: no sound is from the iPod during my slideshow
Possible Solutions:
• Make sure the Hold switch is off.
• If you're using the iPod Remote, make sure the remote's
Hold switch is off.
• Make sure the audio connections are securely seated.
• Make sure the volume is adjusted properly.
• If that doesn't work, push the Play/Pause button. Your iPod
may be paused.
• Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes.
SYMPTOMS: static, noise, or video artifacts in video image
Solution: Usually you can eliminate a lot of video defects by using high
quality cable in as short a length as possible. For the best results, we
recommend using S-video with the projector. Try to keep cable length to
less than 10 feet. If the setup requires a longer cable, make sure to use
the thicker, well-shielded cables.
SYMPTOMS: no photos seen on the projector
Possible Solutions:
• Make sure your projector is set to display images from the
correct input source
• Make sure all cables are connected correctly
• If you are using the iPod AV Cable, be sure the yellow end
is connected to the video port on your television.
• Use Apple certified cables made specifically for the Apple
iPods. Other similar cables will not work.
• On the iPod, go to Photos > Slideshow Settings and set TV
Out to On, then try again.
• On the iPod, go to Photos > Slideshow Settings and set TV
signal to PAL or NTSC depending on your projector settings
and region.

SYMPTOMS: image is not perfectly rectangular (keystoning)
Solution: When a projected image is wider at the top or the bottom
(horizontal keystoning), or taller on the right or left side (vertical keystoning),
the projector is not perpendicular to the screen, either in the vertical plane or
the horizontal plane.
If the sides are angled, then you need to raise or lower the front of the
projector. Also, most projectors have digital vertical keystone correction that
you can adjust in the projector menu. If the top and bottom of the image
are angled, then you need to rotate the projector left or right until the image
is rectangular. Most projectors do not have digital horizontal keystone
correction.
SYMPTOMS: image proportion is incorrect
(i.e. people appear too tall or too short)
Solution: The aspect ratio is set incorrectly on the projector and/or the DVD
player. Make sure the projector and DVD player aspect ratio are the same.
In the projector menu, you can adjust the aspect ratio. In the DVD player
menu, you can adjust the aspect ratio.
SYMPTOMS: sound is too soft from projector speakers
Solution: We recommend connecting the DVD audio to a home theater
audio receiver or amplifier to receive a more robust and quality audio
experience. The speakers on the projector are meant for very small spaces.
