Page 156: ❺ Portrait Projection (Vertical Orientation)
8. Appendix ❺ Portrait projection (vertical orientation) If you install the projector vertically you can project screens from your computer and other sources in portrait orientation. • Be sure to install the device with the side where the Connection termi- nals and Controls/Indicator Panel are located facing the top. • Angle to display all the screens such as the on-screen menu can be changed by the menu [SETUP] → [MENU (2)] → [MENU ANGLE]. Precautions during installation • Do not simply set the projector vertically on the floor or on a table. The projector may fall over, resulting in injury, damage or malfunction. Also the intake vent may become blocked causing the unit’s internal temperature to rise resulting in malfunction and risk of fire. • For portrait installation the intake vents must be installed at the top and bottom. To ensure air flow to the bottom intake vent, a rack to support the unit is necessary. Please hire an installation service provider (for a fee) to make a custom portrait projection stand. • When installed in portrait orientation the projector can be tilted forward or backward within a range of ± 10°. Tilting the projector forward or backward outside of this range, or tilting it to the left or to the right could cause it to malfunction. • To ensure air flow, maintain 60 cm/23.6" of space between the intake vent and the installation surface. (NOTE) In the figure to the right there is plenty of space behind, above, and on either side of the projector unit.

Page 164: ❾ Troubleshooting
8. Appendix ❾ Troubleshooting Before asking for repair, please check your connection, settings and operation once again. If the trouble cannot be corrected, please contact your dealer/distributor for instructions or repair. Problems and where to check Problem Check These Items The projector cannot be turned on. • Check to see if AC power is supplied to the projector. • Make certain that the projector power switch and light power switch is ON. • Check to see whether the panel key lock function is activated.
Page 165 If there is no picture, or the picture is not displayed correctly. • Power on process for the projector and the PC. Be sure to connect the projector and notebook PC while the projector is in standby mode and before turning on the power to the notebook PC. In most cases the output signal from the notebook PC is not turned on unless connected to the projector before being powered up. NOTE: You can check the horizontal frequency of the current signal in the projector’s menu under Information. If it reads “0kHz”, this means there is no signal being output from the computer. (→ page 117 or go to next step) • Enabling the computer’s external display. Displaying an image on the notebook PC’s screen does not necessarily mean it outputs a signal to the projector. When using a PC compatible laptop, a combination of function keys will enable/disable the external display. Usu- ally, the combination of the “Fn” key along with one of the 12 function keys gets the external display to come on or off. For example, NEC laptops use Fn + F3, while Dell laptops use Fn + F8 key combinations to toggle through external display selections. • Non-standard signal output from the computer If the output signal from a notebook PC is not an industry standard, the projected image may not be displayed correctly. Should this happen, deactivate the notebook PC’s LCD screen when the projector display is in use. Each notebook PC has a different way of deactivate/reactivate the local LCD screens as described in the previous step. Refer to your computer’s documentation for detailed information. • Image displayed is incorrect when using a Mac When using a Mac with the projector, set the DIPswitch of the Mac adapter (not supplied with the projector) ac- cording to your resolution. After setting, restart your Mac for the changes to take affect. For setting display modes other than those supported by your Mac and the projector, changing the DIP switch on a Mac adapter may bounce an image slightly or may display nothing. Should this happen, set the DIP switch to the 13" fixed mode and then restart your Mac. After that, restore the DIP switches to a displayable mode and then restart the Mac again.
