DELL 1200MP projector problem

I have the 1200MP Dell Projector and I love it, but now that i've hung it from my ceiling in my classroom (it's on a platform flat surface) it is not wanting to work with me....

Here is my problem.... The lens is pointing up and the screen is displaying on the ceiling. There is an option in the menu that makes it go down a bit but only like 30 percent down.... i need this to be on my screen that is on the wall obviously and i am so frustrated because no one has been able to help me so far!!!

Please help me!!!

I don't know that particular model, but usually these are hung u pside down and the projector can flip the image. That should take care of it. Also, depending upon the angle to the screen, you may need to adjust the "keystone" as well. That will allow the final picture to be square as if the projector was at the correct angle.

Dell 1200MP works with PC but not the DVD player,

Hi.

If you have a replacement cable test the DVD using a different cable, you never know.

Try the following:

  • Unplug both projector and DVD from power.
  • Keep units connected together by video cable.
  • Connect back and restart the DVD first.
  • Restart the projector only once that DVD is ON.


If it still does not work , then there may be a fault.

Mounting the Projector 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.

Dell 1200mp

Hi jezzwhizz

You'll see that at the back of your Projector there is 2 VGA ports 1 in (normally blue) and 1 out ( normally grey ).

You are most probably using the grey one , switch it to blue.
