extension cable, the image quality may be reduced.
■ Keep your computer and video cables separated from the power
cord as much as possible to prevent interference.

projector. If you notice a decline in the projected image quality

computer and the projector, turn off the laptop’s LCD display.
■ Check the Input Signal or Video Signal setting in the Image
menu.
■ Make sure the cables are securely connected.

page 88.

environment.

page 14.

don’t like the new settings, you can always select Reset to return
to the factory default settings.
