    Having the same problem. When you turn the projector on the power light turns green for a little bit and then goes to flashing red like it is in the cool down mode and then shuts off.

    Projector turns on, startup screen comes on. Within a couple of seconds bulb shuts off followed by the projector goes into shutdown (as if someone turned it off-- blinking red light, fan running, eventually going to solid red light and fan off). Tried the method of opening closing the protector a few times without getting any improvement. Any other suggestions.

There could be a problem with the flip down iris protector. If the Sanyo is on and you flip the protector down manually then the projector will go into standby mode. This is obviously to protect the system incase it ever gets flipped down accidently and the system is on. There could be a faulty switcher inside the protector mechanism which is not working properly and the machine thinks that the screen is down when in fact it is open!

Switch off the entire projector at the mains and open and close the screen a few time manually. If you feel comfortable doing so try and force the screen up a little bit past its stopping point when it is supposed to be fully open. Be careful and don't break it. Now keeping it open plug it back in a see if that works and don't touch the protector ever again! If it doesn't try opening and closing a few more times to try and release the triggering button that is inside the projector screen.

I had the same problem and that worked for me.

Blue haze/fog all over screen

As it appears from the images that the images are fine. The sanyo PLV-Z2 is a LCD projector. So basically it projects 3 R G and B lights to make the screen. Yes it is definately not a LAMP issue. Either dust could have accumulated on the R and G panels thus leading to these prominent BLUE patches or if the LCD panels are damaged, u have to get the G or R replaced.. try running a application like Displaymate from "http://www.majorgeeks.com/DisplayMate_d4189.html" and see which of the panels is exactly responsible for the problem. I think this should sort it out.

Hi, I 've the following problem with my PLV-Z2. When I turn on the PLV, the red light is flashing, then when the light is fixed, I push on the main button, the light turn on green. Then the main lamp...

There may be a burnt capacitor on the circuit board. If you are savy in electronics and soldering you may be abel to replace yourself if you can determine which one it is and find an exact replacement. I don't believe there are too many on the board. Otherwise take to a repair shop and have them check out the capacitors.

DVI will not recognise now ?

Presumably, you're going directly from DVI port on computer to DVI port on Z2?. Here is a Q&A list based on all the possible sceanrios for this hook-up...

Q1: Is it DVI-D or DVI-I (with unencrypted DIGITAL output from graphics card)?
A1: Choose 'Input 2', then 'RGB(PC Digital)' on Z2.

Q2: Is it DVI-D or DVI-I (with HDCP-encrypted DIGITAL output from graphics card)?
A2: Choose 'Input 2', then 'RGB(AV HDCP)' on Z2.

Q3: Is it DVI-I or DVI-A (with ANALOGUE output from graphics card)?
A3: Choose 'Input 2', then select 'RGB(Analog)' on Z2.

After making sure the correct 'Input 2' is chosen to match the signal coming from the card's DVI port, make sure your card is outputting a suitable screen resolution that the PLV-Z2 can display correctly, e.g... 1280x720 (native, and preferable!); 640x480; 800x600; 1024x768 (choose this if you don't have 1280x720); 1280x1024, etc. Also, if you have multiple refresh rates availble for the resolutions, choose 60Hz.

You should end up with an image.
