(until the main unit’s power monitor changes from orange to red), and then turn off the main unit’s main power switch if it has one.
If it does not have one, disconnect the power cable.
Turn the power back on, and then select the projector again from the software.

Question 10 :
Making a wireless LAN connection while using the internet.

Answer

  • In a wireless LAN environment which enables connection to the internet, it may be possible both to connect to the internet and use the wireless LAN communication with the projector by incorporating the projector in the wireless LAN environment.
  • If you have a wired internet connection, this projector allows wireless use simultaneously with a wired connection to the internet.

Question 11 :
The connection cannot be established with IEEE802.11g / IEEE802.11n.

Answer

  • In environments with wireless LAN adapters that support both IEEE802.11b and IEEE802.11g, the connection may be established via IEEE802.11b.
  • In some operating environments, the connection may be established via IEEE802.11b, depending on the location, radio signal conditions, distance, or other factors.
  • Some wireless LAN adapters only support AD HOC connections via IEEE802.11b.
  • IEEE802.11n can be used only when the [SIMPLE], [S-DIRECT], [M-DIRECT], wireless module (Part No.: ET-WM200) and infrastructure connection (with access point for 802.11n) are used.
    The [SIMPLE], [S-DIRECT], [M-DIRECT] and wireless module can be used on only a certain models of the projectors.
    For details, see the List of compatible projector models.
    Or if there is the CD-ROM of this software in the accessory of the projector, see the "List of compatible projector models" in the application launcher in it.

Question 12 :
The transfer rate is slow.

Answer

  • The transfer rate may be slower in some operating environments (depending on such factors as the location, radio signal conditions or distance).
  • Avoid placing metal objects or other conductors near the wireless LAN antenna of a computer, otherwise the transfer rate may be slower.

Question 13 :
Projection start fails.

Answer

When a computer is equipped with graphics automatic switch function, projection start may fail if "graphics automatic switch" of "energy saving" in "system environment settings" is enabled.
If projection start fails, then use after disabling this function.

Question 14 :
Image display is slow or animation is not displayed smoothly.

Answer

  • Is the computer CPU speed slow?
    Displaying images and playing animations depend to a large extent on the performance of the computer’s CPU.
  • Adverse effects may be exerted if there is any wireless communication in the vicinity.
  • If [Option] on the launcher → [Settings] → "Project at high picture quality (affects performance)" is selected, the screen display speed may become slower.
  • The speed may be slower when any other applications are running concurrently.

Question 15 :
Contents of DVD, MPEG2 or Blu-ray Disc cannot be played on computer.

Answer

  • The following restrictions apply when the software is running.

    • DVD, MPEG2 and Blu-ray disc moving images cannot be played.
    • If a 3D type of application is used, problems may arise. For instance, the performance of the application may be reduced or images may not be displayed.
  • Exit the software, and try using the software with a computer cable or HDMI cable connected.
    (Depending on the player used to play the moving images, it may not be possible to play them.)

Question 16 :
There is a time lag between operations at the computer and results in the projected image.

Answer

This software reads the screen, compresses the data and transmits it to the projector. In the projector, the received data are extracted and then projected. Some delays occur in this system, due to the processing time and factors in the wireless environment. Different computers may also produce varying lag times.

Question 17 :
I can't change the live style.

Answer

  • Select [Option] on the launcher → [Multi Live] → select the style using "Choose multi live style", and click [Apply].
    The style is switched.
  • When you click [Multi Live] on the remote control, the style is switched.
  • It is possible to switch by selecting "MULTI-LIVE" from the "Network" menu of the projector, and then pressing the <ENTER> button.
  • It is not possible to switch the style while images are displayed using Full Screen.
    First stop projecting the images, and then change the live style.

Question 18 :
No sound of the computer is heard from the projector during projection.

Answer

  • After installing this software, always reboot the system.
  • Neither can it be used when communicating simultaneously with multiple projectors.
  • Sound is not output if the driver has been uninstalled.
  • If sound is not output from the internal speakers after you quit this software, make sure that [Internal Speakers] is selected in [Output] of [Sound] in [System Preferences].
    If it is not selected, manually switch to [Internal Speakers].

Question 19 :
The software’s colors are not displayed properly and the characters are hard to read.

Answer

Check the [Colors] setting on the [Display] tab in [System Preferences].
Set [Colors] to "approx. 32000 Colors" or higher.
Images cannot be projected at the [256 colors] setting.

Question 20 :
I cannot lower the display brightness.

Answer

Is a checkmark placed in the "Disable screen saver during projection" checkbox?
Select [Option] on the launcher → [Settings], and if a check mark has been entered for "Disable screen saver during projection", the brightness of the built-in display will not be lowered.

Question 21 :
The projector does not turn on when projecting from a searched projector.

Answer

If the [STANDBY MODE] setting is set to [ECO] or [NETWORK] on the projector,
that projector may not turn on during projection.
Perform the following in such cases.

For the projectors other than PT-VW435N/VX505N and PT-VX400NT

Turn on the projector, and change the [MENU] → [PROJECTOR SETUP] → [ECO MANAGEMENT] → [STANDBY MODE] setting to [NORMAL].
