Troubleshooting WARNING Lamp Flash Patterns The WARNING lamp on the Control Panel flashes in red after the projector is turned off when there is a trouble in the projector. • Wait until the cooling fan stops and disconnect the power plug from the AC outlet before dealing with the trouble.
Symptoms and Solutions ■You cannot turn on the projector. Cause The power cord is not connected correctly. The power cord has just been con- nected. The lamp cover is open. The safety device has activated because you put the projector in the carrying bag during the cooling fan was rotating.
Troubleshooting Cause The external monitor output is not set on the notebook computer cor- rectly. The displayed image is not the same as that displayed on the computer. The lens cap is not removed. ■A digital camera or USB flash memory is not recognized. (SX80 II) Cause PictBridge is not supported.
■The projected image is blur. Cause The image is out of focus. The distance to the screen is too short. The projector is not placed straight in front of the screen. The projector has been moved to a place where the temperature var- ies a lot.
Troubleshooting Cause The operating temperature is inap- propriate. Other reasons ■You cannot operate the remote control. Cause Batteries are not installed properly or they have run out. You are operating the remote con- trol from the outside of the remote control operating range.
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. • 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.
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 pro- jector may be damaged since it will block the air flow into the projector and raises the internal temperature of the projector.
Replacing the Lamp When the time of use of the lamp exceeds the certain amount of time, the following mes- sage (two types) is displayed for 10 seconds every time the projector is turned on. 1,800 - less than 2,000 hours •...
Maintenance ■Replacing the Lamp 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 flat- head screwdriver in the gap and remove the lamp cover by raising it.
Relationship between Aspect and Screen Aspect This section describes the relationship between screen aspect (P62) and aspect (P65). 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. When Projecting an Image from a Computer When the input signal is [ANALOG PC-1], [ANALOG PC-2], or [DIGITAL PC (SX80 II)], select screen aspect and aspect as follows according to the resolution of the image on the computer.
Relationship between Aspect and Screen Aspect When Projecting an Image from Image Software To project an image such as an image shot by a TV set, commercially available DVD software, or video camcorder (input signal [HDMI (SX80 II)], [VIDEO], [S-VIDEO (SX80 II)], [COMPO- NENT]), select an aspect ratio according to the image software format as follows.
When Projecting an Image from a Digital Camera or a USB Flash Memory (SX80 II) The [Auto] mode is automatically selected for the aspect ratio when displaying an image from a digital camera or USB flash memory (selecting [USB] as the input signal). The image is expanded fully on the screen with the screen aspect maintained.
Supported Computer Signal Types This projector supports following signal types. If your computer or AV equipment is compatible with any one of these signal types, the projector's auto PC function selects the input signal type to project an image appropriately. ANALOG RGB Resolution Signal type...

Glossary * is only applicable to SX80 MarkII sRGB (P67, P93) An international standard of color repre- sentation (color space) which is applied to general digital cameras, displays and oth- ers. In this projector, if you select [sRGB] in the [Image mode] setting, the projector can project the best-quality image con- forming to the sRGB Standard.

Aspect (P65, P79, P147) The aspect ratio is the ratio of the horizon- tal dimension (width) to the vertical dimen- sion (height) of a screen. It is expressed as "width : height." The following aspect ratios are normally used in Computer or AV equipment. [4:3] The aspect ratio for SXGA+ (1400 x 1050) and XGA (1024 x 768) display resolution in...

Glossary Number of dots in each resolution If you select SXGA+ (1400 dots x 1050 dots) as the display resolution for the con- necting computer, this projector can project high-resolution images. If your computer does not have the SXGA+ option, select the maximum resolution among the selectable options.

Gain (P97) A parameter that adjusts the reproduction range of a brightness signal from black to white within the image signal to naturally reproduce it on the screen. The reproduc- ibility of the bright tone is mainly changed. Since you can adjust the gain for each RGB color in this projector, you can also adjust colors.
