Troubleshooting WARNING Lamp Flash Patterns The WARNING lamp on the Control Panel flashes in red when there is a trouble in the projector. • Turn off the projector, wait until the cooling fan stops, and remove the power plug from the AC outlet before dealing with the trouble. Flash Pattern Meaning Countermeasure One flash Temperature, abnormality The temperature inside the projector is too high for some reason or the outside air temperature is higher than the specified one.
Troubleshooting Symptoms and Solutions ■You cannot turn on the projector. Cause Countermeasure The power cord is not connected correctly. Check whether the power cord is connected correctly. (P47) Check that [Key lock] is not enabled. (P99) The power cord has just been connected. You cannot turn on the projector until the POWER indicator turns red after connecting the power plug. (P47) The lamp cover is open.
Troubleshooting Cause Countermeasure The external monitor output is not set on the notebook computer correctly. Turn on the external monitor output on the notebook computer. To turn on the external monitor output, press the [LCD] or [VGA] function key or a key with an icon for the external monitor, while holding down the [Fn] key on the keyboard of the notebook computer. (P49) The combination of keys used to perform this operation varies among computer manufacturers.
Troubleshooting ■The projected image is blur. Cause Countermeasure The image is out of focus. Adjust the focus. (P57) The distance to the screen is too short. Check whether the distance to the screen is appropriate. If the distance is shorter than approximately 1.2m (3.9'), the projector cannot focus on the screen. (P33, P139) The projector is not placed straight in front of the screen. Check whether the projector is placed obliquely to the screen.
Troubleshooting Cause Countermeasure The operating temperature is inappropriate. Check whether the operating temperature is 5 to 35°C. (P18) If you use the projector at 2300 meters or higher above sea level, contact your dealer. Other reasons The projector may be damaged. Contact your dealer. ■You cannot operate the remote control. Cause Countermeasure Batteries are not installed properly or they have run out. Check whether batteries are installed correctly.
Maintenance Cleaning the Projector Clean the projector frequently to prevent dust from settling on the surface. A dirty lens may ruin the quality of the projected image. Caution • The main unit is very hot immediately after turning off the projector. Wait until the projector cools down sufficiently (more than 1 hour) before cleaning the projector. Otherwise, you may get burned or injured. • Before cleaning the projector, be sure to remove the power plug from the AC outlet.
Maintenance Cleaning and Replacing the Air Filter An air filter is installed in the air intake vent on the bottom of the main body to protect the internal lens and mirror from dust. Should the air filter become clogged with dust, the projector may be damaged since it will block the air flow into the projector and raises the internal temperature of the projector. The following screen is displayed when turning on the projector if the air filter needs to be cleaned. Clean the air filter if such is the case.
Maintenance Replacing the Lamp When the time of use of the lamp exceeds the certain amount of time, the following message (two types) is displayed for 10 seconds every time the projector is turned on. 1,800 - less than 2,000 hours Prepare the new lamp when this screen is displayed. • Only [<], [>], the OK button, and the POWER button are available while this screen is displayed. • When you press the POWER button, "Push POWER button again to turn off power." message appears.
Maintenance ■Replacing the Lamp 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Turn off the projector, disconnect the power plug from the AC outlet, and let the projector stand for at least 1 hour. As shown in the figure, insert a flathead screwdriver in the gap and remove the lamp cover by raising it. Loosen two screws with a philips-head screwdriver and then pull up the handle. * Pull up the handle as shown in the figure. Remove the lamp while holding the center of the handle.
Relationship between Aspect and Screen Aspect This section describes the relationship between screen aspect (P60) and aspect (P63). To project an image on the whole screen, select the most appropriate screen aspect ratio and aspect according to the aspect ratio of the screen and input signal type.

Glossary * is only applicable to SX80 HDMI* (P42, P52) sRGB (P65, P89) An international standard of color representation (color space) which is applied to general digital cameras, displays and others. In this projector, if you select [sRGB] in the [Image mode] setting, the projector can project the best-quality image conforming to the sRGB Standard. DVI* (P40, P52) A digital video signal connection interface for a computer.
Glossary Aspect (P63, P77, P135) Component (P27, P44, P92) The aspect ratio is the ratio of the horizontal dimension (width) to the vertical dimension (height) of a screen. It is expressed as "width : height." The following aspect ratios are normally used in Computer or AV equipment. A signal system used to send a color signal (C) with it divided into a B-Y color difference signal and an R-Y color difference signal.
Glossary Offset (P92) A parameter that shifts the reproduction range of a brightness signal from black to white within an image signal toward the higher or lower level of brightness. The reproducibility of the dark tone is mainly changed. Since you can adjust the offset for each RGB color in this projector, you can also adjust colors. The offset is normally adjusted with the gain.
Glossary 6-axis color adjust* (P95) DPOF* (P109) The color adjustment function for an advanced user. You can adjust color balance and color level for 6 axis of RGB (red/green/blue) and CMY (cyan/magenta/ yellow) of the projected image to make a fine color adjustment. You can perform the 6-axis color adjustment in the image adjustment menu. An abbreviation of Digital Print Order Format.
