I am having difficulty getting my Gigaware Micro Projector to focus properly. Turning the focus knob has little effect and the picture is not very sharp. I have only tried the RCA jack video input thus far.

The focus knob is the way you focus overhead projectors. Perhaps you simply haven't turned the knob far enough? How far is the projector from the screen? If it's quite close, you need to turn the knob to raise the lens. If far away, turn it to lower the lens.

Move the projector away from the wall, the picture gets bigger. Then use the focus knob at the top to get a clear picture on the wall. Then use a camera to take a picture of the wall. Then upload the picture to the place you want to transfer it to.

You focus by turning the focus knob -- on the side of the focuser. Practice during the day time on a distant object.

Adjust Screen Volts (G2) of all 3 picture tubes and screen volt control knobs are on focus block located under speaker grills at front of TV.
Remove speaker front grille of TV, look for focus block that has 6 control knobs, 3 knobs are for focus and 3 for screen volts, increase volts by turning little bit control knobs of screen volts and this will solve your problem.

Go to control panel and reset hardware configs that way.

Did you try turning the ring in front of the camera?

Can you describe the issue?

they can fix this problem for you!

I recently had this same issue. If you remove the speaker pannel in front of the set, you will see a block with 6 knobs on it, just to the right of the center panel. This is called a focus block. 3 knobs on top which control the voltage going to each tube, and 3 on the bottom are for fine tuning focus for each tube.

If your problem is the same as mine, it is a convergence problem. and due to the fact that the picture is turning off, says that one of the tubes is not getting enough power.

NOTE: BE CAREFUL NOT TO TOUCH ANYTHING ELSE BUT THE FOCUS BLOCK, THERE IS EXTREMELY HIGH VOLTAGE WITHIN THE TELEVISION, AND CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY.

1. Make sure the screen is blank, ex video 2 with nothing on. It's easier to tell.
2. very slowly, one at a time turn up the knob on the left top, should control red, untill you start to see lines come on the screen, then turn back just till they dissappear, and you see a black screen again.
3. continue with the second knob on top, just the same as the first.
4. And continue with the 3rd knob on top right just the same.
5. when you're finished, turn off the set, then back on, let is set for a min or 2, then hit the FLASH FOCUS.

If the problem persists, it most likely is a IC chip.

Best of Luck

I think that the focus shaft has become un-attached by turning too far. Try placing the telescope facing directly upwards and start turning the focus knob clockwise. A little vibration on the tube will help the mirror to settle downwards. This may get the threaded rod back into the knob.

Hi there

This could either be a bit of dust on the inside of the lens or the LCD's
