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. 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.
