You may need to replace the remote control’s batteries. Make sure they’re inserted with
the positive (+) and negative (–) ends positioned as shown in the battery compartment.

Solving Picture and Sound Problems

The picture is blurry or out of focus.

Adjust the focus using the focus ring. See page 15 for instructions.

There may be dirt on the lens. Clean the lens as described on page 45.

Make sure the lens is not fogged by condensation. If you’ve just moved Epson
MovieMate from a cold environment, wait approximately an hour before using it. If
condensation forms, unplug Epson MovieMate and wait an hour or two before use.

Make sure Epson MovieMate is placed the correct distance from the screen: no closer
than 2.4 feet (0.72 meters) and no farther than 49.4 feet (13.66 meters).
