The image is too dark or light, or the colors are incorrect. What should I do?

  • Try the following solutions:
    • Press the Color Mode button on the remote control to try different color modes for the image and environment.
    • Adjust the available settings on the Image menu for the current input source, such as Brightness, Contrast, Tint, Color Adjustment, and/or Color Saturation.
    • Make sure you selected the correct input source on the Signal menu.
    • Make sure all the cables are securely connected to the projector and your video device. If you connected long cables, try connecting shorter cables.
    • If the colors are incorrect from a video source, make sure you selected the correct Video Signal setting.
    • If you are using the ECO Power Consumption setting, try selecting Normal in the Settings menu.
    • If the image has been progressively darkening, you may need to replace the projector lamp soon.
