Image is blurry, out of focus,
or colors are unnatural
• Check the Fixture filters (see page 213).
• Is the DL.2 mounted less than 1.4 meters to an object? If so, move the DL.2
farther away to enable it to focus properly.
• Make sure the DL.2 is not operating near fog machines, hazers, or mineral
oil hazers (see
Fog Machine Warning on page 8).
• Clean the front window (see Cleaning or Replacing the Front Window
on page 216).
• Check the lamp (see the projector manual shipped with the DL.2).
• If you’re using the projector’s on-screen programming system, you can
override zoom and focus using the menu system (see
Projector Control
on page 181.)
The LCD Menu display is off • If the Blue LED is off, the Computer isn’t receiving power. Press and hold
the Top and Bottom Tab select buttons to restart computer, (see
Menu
Panel Components on page 21.)
• If the screen is not backlit, press the LCD power button, (see LCD Display
Adjustment Buttons on page 22.)
• Check the Video In Video Out adapter on the video card (middle plug)
connection.
• Check that the connectors for the composite video cable at the LCD Screen
and the Video card are seated securely.
Fixture behaves erratically or
won’t respond to DMX
control
• Verify that the last unit on the DMX link is properly terminated, (see Setting
up a Standard DMX Link on page 10.
• To control the DL.2 with DMX, you must first enable DMX through the menu
System (see
DMX_Control Screen on page 27) or the CMA (see Viewing
and Editing Server Configuration on page 204.
• If you’re using DMX to control the projector using its native menu system,
make sure you send a safe command after each button command;
otherwise, it’s analogous to pressing a button on the projector menu system
and not releasing it (see page
Projector Control on page 181).
