• Place the projector directly in front of the center of the screen, facing it squarely, if possible.
• Adjust the image shape using the keystone settings in the projector's menu.
• Adjust the position of the projector's horizontal keystone slider.

Solutions When the Image Contains Noise or Static

If the projected image seems to contain electronic interference (noise) or static, try the following solutions:

• Check the cables connecting your computer or video source to the projector. They should be:
• Separated from the power cord to prevent interference
• Securely connected at both ends
• Not connected to an extension cable

• Position the projector close enough to the screen.
• If the image has been progressively darkening, you may need to replace the projector lamp soon.

Solutions When the Image is Upside Down

If the projected image is upside down, make sure you selected the correct Projection setting in the Extended menu.

If there is no sound when you expect it or the volume is too low or high, try the following solutions:

• Adjust the projector's volume settings.
• Press the A/V mute button on the projector remote control to resume video and audio if they were temporarily stopped.

Solving Projector or Remote Control Operation Problems

Check the solutions in these sections if you have problems operating the projector or remote control.

Solutions to Projector Power or Shut-Off Problems

If the projector does not come on when you press the power button or it shuts off unexpectedly, try the following solutions:

• Make sure the power cord is securely connected to the projector and to a working electrical outlet.

• The power cord may be defective. Try another power cord. If that doesn't work, disconnect the cord and contact Epson.
• The cooling fans may run in standby status depending on the projector settings. Also, when the projector wakes from standby status, the fans may cause an unexpected noise. This is not a malfunction.

Solutions to Remote Control Problems

If the projector does not respond to remote control commands, try the following solutions:

• Check that the remote control batteries are installed correctly and have power. If necessary, replace the batteries.
• Make sure you are operating the remote control within the reception angle and range of the projector.
• Make sure the projector is not warming up or shutting down.

• Make sure you are using the projector remote control and not the remote control for Android TV.
• Strong fluorescent lighting, direct sunlight, or infrared device signals may be interfering with the projector's remote receivers. Dim the lights or move the projector away from the sun or interfering equipment.
• If you lose the remote control, you can purchase another from an Epson parts distributor

Solutions to HDMI Link Problems

If you cannot control an HDMI device using the HDMI Link feature, try the following solutions:

• Make sure all necessary cables are securely connected and the power is on for the projector and connected video sources.
