PROJECTOR WON'T PROJECT IMAGE - Sanyo PLC-XU50A Multimedia Projector

If you'd like to email me at [email protected] I'll be able to help you in more detail. There's a fundamental error to the question here. That is the board in itself will not show the image - your boards is effectively a large flat mouse. A pointing device infact. The peice of equipment that "shows" your PC image is actually the projector. There could be several reasons why your projector isn't showing the image.
1 - is there either a VGA or HDMI cable connected from your laptop/PC to the projector (Sometimes via a wall plate).
2 If 1 is true and the projector is turned on does it show any sort of image? Now there are two thongs you can do from here. a) If you have a laptop check to see if your Video settings are set to clone across to a secondary monitor on most laptops you should hold down Function key and F8 this will toggle through three options Onboard screen remote screen and then both. there could be some lag between the two so hold down fucntio at the same time press F8 then wait a few seconds then go again.
Finally on you projector remote there may be an auto search buttion which will hunt for your PC image by checking each of the Projector inputs in turn. Generally speaking however you should select "Computer 1" or sometimes named as RGB 1

Hope that helps email me if your still having problems.

Hi, Your projector is probably set for ceiling mount which will project an upside down image because the projector is normally mounted upside down when installed on the ceiling. Go into the menu and select extended then select projection then select front. That should return the image to right side up.

If I understand correctly you want to project an image on the wall.

If this is correct, then open following links to Texas Art Supply:

How it works.
Place image on table.
Put projector over top of image.
Turn on projector, and image is projected to wall or piece of paper hanging on wall.
Trace image or paint directly on the surface.

No to your question. The lens is fixed it cannot shift horizontally only although there are projectors that can do this. I am sure you have the front foot retracted? I have had to do the same as you are doing or find a lower table.

Go to Menu> Extended> Projection> select Front ( to project from the front of the screen ).Front/Ceiling ( If the projector is mounted upside-down from the ceiling ). Rear ( to project from behind onto a transparent screen ).Rear/Ceiling ( to project from behind when the projector is mounted upside-down from the ceiling ).

Projectors, in general want to project the bottom of the image 1 foot above the lens at a typical range. When mounted upside down, they project the top of the image 1 foot below the center of the lens. If you don't want to turn the projector over, you'll have to change the angle and probably go to the extreme on the keystone correction.

that is due to lcd filter units , try to align, precision work

as long as nobody has physically changed the lens poition, you can go into the menu on the projector and do a factory reset. this should default the settings back to where the installer put them.

Hi there

Sounds to me like it is time for a new lamp.

find the menu for saving the settings, for sure there is a menu saving all your desired settings. good luck!
