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, 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. • If only one lamp is in use, switch to Dual lamp mode. • Position the projector close enough to the screen. • If the image has been progressively darkening, you may need to replace a projector lamp soon.
