Instruction Manual

Image color is not correct
l If your graphic card output signal is "sync on Green", and you would like to display VGA at 60Hz signal, please go into
"OSD--> Management --> Signal Type" and select "RGB".
l Or run "Self-diagnostic test" (see " Self-diagnostic for video " ) for preliminary diagnostic on image color problem.
Image is out of focus
l Adjust the focus ring on the projector lens.
l Ensure that the projection screen is within the required distance from the projector (4.0ft [1.2m] to 39.4ft [12m]).
The image is stretched when displaying 16:9 DVD
The projector automatically detects 16:9 DVD and adjusts the aspect ratio to full screen with a 4:3 (letter-box) default setting.
If the image is still stretched, adjust the aspect ratio as follows:
l If you are playing a 16:9 DVD, select 4:3 aspect ratio type on your DVD player if capable.
l If you cannot select 4:3 aspect ratio type on your DVD player, select 4:3 aspect ratio in the "All Images" menu within the
OSD function.
Image is reversed
l Select Management from the OSD and adjust the projection mode.
Lamp is burned out or makes a popping sound
l When the lamp reaches its end of life, it may burn out and may make a loud popping sound. If this occurs, the projector will
not turn back on until the lamp is replaced. To replace the lamp, see "Changing the Lamp".
Self-diagnostic for video
l Dell 2100MP projector provides self-diagnostic test of the projector video display (for Video, S-video, Component-I). Use this
advanced feature for preliminary self-diagnostic on your projector when encountering the display problem for video.
l After turning on the projector, press "+" and "-" buttons on the control panel simultaneously and release the buttons when
screen goes blank.
l Contact Dell if the projector doesn't enter diagnostic mode or if the colors are incorrectly displayed. Otherwise, ensure that
the cables are properly connected and the media source is securely installed.
