Solutions When the Image Brightness or Colors are Incorrect
If the projected image is too dark or light, or the colors are incorrect, try the following solutions:
• Press the Color Mode button on the remote control to try different color modes for the image and
environment.
• Check your video source settings.
• Adjust the available settings on the Image menu for the current input source, such as Brightness,
Contrast, Tint, Color Temp., and/or Color Saturation.
• Make sure you selected the correct Video Range or Video Signal setting on the Signal menu, if
available for your image source.
• 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 you are using the ECO Power Consumption setting, try selecting High in the projector's menus.
Note: At high altitudes or locations subject to high temperatures, the image may become darker and
you may not be able to adjust the Power Consumption setting.
• Position the projector close enough to the screen.
• If the image has been progressively darkening, you may need to replace the projector lamp soon.
