Problem No source found. The projector is turned off. Cause and solution Turn on the power of the connected device, or check whether there is something wrong with the connected device. Check whether the external device outputs signals. (Check this especially when the external device is a notebook computer.) Check that the cable connected to the external device isn’t defective. Check that the projector is connected to the external device using the correct terminals.
Cause and solution This is due to color breaking noise that occurs in a DLP system and is not a malfunction. It occurs because of interference with the screen and isn’t a product malfunction. Fine streak pattern appears in projected images. Change the screen or readjust the focus of the projector. Connect the cable’s plug with the external device’s connector firmly. Keep the projector away from equipment generating interfering radio waves.
