Common Issues

SYMPTOM: GameCube cannot play DVD movies
Solution: The GameCube is not capable of playing DVD movies.
SYMPTOM: GameCube cannot display the game in high definition
Solution: GameCube supports up to 480p. It cannot display a high
definition signal.
SYMPTOM: 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 access 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.
SYMPTOM: image proportion is incorrect (people look too tall or too
short)
Solution: The aspect ratio is set incorrectly on the projector. Change the
aspect ratio in the projector menu. The GameCube does not support
widescreen format.
SYMPTOM: sound is too soft from projector speakers
Solution: We recommend connecting the 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.
SYMPTOM: light bar rolling from bottom to top
Solution: This is probably a ground loop issue. Ground loop effects
are caused by a differential in your power between your source and
projector. The solution is to ground your source and projector. Use a
ground loop isolator and/or plug both the source and projector to the
same power outlet.
A rolling bar can also be caused by poorly shielded cabling. Make sure
you use quality cables
SYMPTOM: static, noise, or video artifacts in video image
Solution: Usually you can eliminate a lot of video defects by using
high quality cables in as short a length as possible. For the best
results, we recommend using component cables with your projector.
Try to keep cable length to less than 10 feet. If your setup requires a
longer cable, make sure to use the thicker, well-shielded cables.
SYMPTOMS: no video image from the projector
Solution:
•
Make sure the projector is searching the correct input (see the
projector user's guide). If Auto Source is turned off, you need to
manually change the source that the projector is searching. Press
the Auto Source or Video button the projector keypad or remote.
•
Try a different video cable.
•
Some video ports may not accept interlaced or progressive
signals. Refer to the connectivity chart on the Service and Support
web site or the InFocus user guide.
