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
No longer than 10 feet (3 m) for VGA/computer cables or 24 feet (7.3 m) for HDMI cables
Check the settings on the projector's Signal menu to make sure they match the video source.
Select a computer video resolution and refresh rate that are compatible with the projector.
If you are projecting from a computer, display a uniformly patterned image on the screen and manually
adjust the Tracking and Sync settings.
If you adjusted the image shape using the projector controls, try decreasing the Sharpness setting to
improve image quality.
If you connected an extension power cable, try projecting without it to see if it caused interference in
the signal.
Try a different cable.
Try turning off Frame Interpolation, or turn on Image Enhancement in the Image menu.
