1.The menu on the PT-D3500 and PT-D5000 Series projector does not appear when I press the menu button. What is wrong?
The On Screen Display may be turned off. Press the OSD button on the remote.
2.I have settings loaded into a memory preset, but the DLP projector is not loading them when I turn on the projector. What is wrong?
AUTO SIGNAL under OPTION 1 menu may be turned ON. If so, this overrides the memory settings
3.I have installed a new bulb on my PT-D5500, PT-D5000, PT-D5600 and PT-D7000 Series projector and it does not light. What could be the problem?
If the projector is in DUAL lamp mode, both lamps have to be the same type, either normal-life or long-life bulbs. If one of a different type is installed while projector is in DUAL mode, it will not light.
4.My PT-D7000 Series projector is in protect mode. How do I unlock it?
Press arrow down key on remote twice and then ENTER key.
5.On my DLP projector, I have vertical bands of bold text throughout the image. What could be the problem?
The INPUT RESOLUTION under the ADVANCED MENU may be set wrong.
6.The image from my computer is displayed too large on my PT-D3500 and PT-D5000 Series projector, and the edges of the image are cut off. What could be the problem?
If the incoming signal is 1280 X 1024 it may not be recognized by the AUTO SETUP circuit. Try setting SXVGA MODE to SXVGA+ under the ADVANCED MENU.
7.My DLP projector will not display correctly, or at all, a resolution that it would display before. What could be the problem?
The sub-memory could have been corrupted. Please review the owner’s manaul to see how to clear the sub-memory.
8.The lens will not zoom or focus on my PT-D3500 and PT-D5000 projectors. What could be the problem?
The electrical contacts between lens and unit may have come loose. Remove lens and reinstall.
9.I have installed the ET-LE050 lens on my PT-D3500 and PT-D5000 Series projectors. When I use LENS SHIFT the edges of the image become rounded. What is wrong?
This is normal because the lens is a very short throw and the lens elements are very close together, and when lens shift is used, you are shooting out the edge of the lens. That is why we do not recommend LENS SHIFT with this lens.
10.What is the lens adaptor ring size to attach a filter to the lens on the 1 chip DLP lens?
