TroubleshootingTroubleshooting

• Problem After the projector is turned on, I receive the

message in the upper right-hand corner, “S-Video-No Input” or “Video-No Input.”

• Solution Ensure you are in “Input 1” mode.

TroubleshootingTroubleshooting• Problem After the projector is turned on and on “Input 1”, I receive

the message in the upper right-hand corner, “Input 1-No Input.”

• Solution First, make sure that you have firmly screwed in the

projector cable to both the projector and laptop. If this does not work, the notebook may not be on dual-display mode. To avoid this problem, have the cable attached to both the projector and computer and the projector on before turning on the computer. However, you can toggle between display modes on your notebook if you don’t want to turn everything off. You need to locate the image that has two “monitors” on the keyboard (or LCD/CRT), on one of the “F” keys - each laptop brand is different. While holding the Function button (a.k.a. Fn, lower-left corner), press the monitor button to cycle through display options.

TroubleshootingTroubleshooting

• Problem

A portion of the left side of my presentation is missing during projection.

• Solution

This happens on occasion, but is usually rectified by using the auto adjust button (one on the remote and

one on the unit itself).
