• Is a plug connected to the CONTROL IN connector?
When a plug is connected to the CONTROL IN connector, the signal from that connector is given
priority, thus disabling the remote control signal receiver (page 13).

Switch to another screen size (page 19).
• Are SCREEN mode adjustments such as picture size made correctly? (pages 23–24).
• Is the Point Zoom function being used? (page 20)
• Adjust the picture tone (page 22).
• Is the room too bright?
The picture may look dark in a room that is too bright.

Remove any objects blocking vent or clean (page 28).
• Is the POWER MANAGEMENT or AUTO POWER OFF function set to ON? (page 21).
• Condensation has formed on internal parts due to suddenly increasing ambient temperature.
Allow condensation to dry thoroughly before using.
• Is connection to other components correct? (pages 10 to 12)
• Has setup been done correctly after connection? (pages 15 and 16)
• Is the correct input selected? (page 17)

If there is still no improvement, this unit may be limiting the displayable range. Check the
personal computer input signal compatibility chart (page 32).
• Expansion/contraction caused by surrounding temperature change may result in sound being
heard from the cabinet. This is not a malfunction.
• When the video input signal's level is too high, the bright portions may appear to be losing their
intensity.
Increase the adjustment level of the contrast and check the picture (page 22).
• May be caused by radio wave interference from appliances with motors such as hair dryers,
electric vacuum cleaners, electric power drills, ignition systems of cars, motorcycles etc., switch
devises such as thermostats etc., neon signs or electrical discharge from power lines etc..
• May be caused by radio wave mingling from TV station, FM station, amateur radios, public radios
(simplified radios) etc., or a nearby personal computer, TV, or video/audio component.
• A strong electromagnetic field may cause picture distortion and similar problems.

In this case, operate the unit after first turning the MAIN POWER ON/OFF, or unplugging the
power cord and re-plugging it in after 1 to 2 minutes.
