The image is too dark or light, or the colors are incorrect. What should I do?

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, Advanced, and Color Saturation.
• Make sure you selected the correct Input Signal 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 Normal in the projector's menus.
• Position the projector close enough to the screen.
• If the image has been progressively darkening, you may need to replace the projector lamp soon.
