Sanyo PLC-SW30 Projector is ceiling mounted projecting onto an interactive whiteboard. Recently the projected image developed a yellow tone. I have replaced the lamp & cleaned the lens and all the filters. Any ideas?

That Philips Lamp fits SW30 and SW35 plus an oss EIKI projector.
Why not fix the projector?

You need to turn off the ceiling mode to get the picture to project correctly. This is in the Settings Menu. See page 37 of the manual which is currently available here: http://cncms.com.au/SANYO-IMs/Commercial-Industrial/plcsw30_im.pdf .

Press Menu. Then use the left/right arrows to move to the icon with the projector and screen shown. (Note: right now this row will be on the bottom of your screen and the icon will be to the left side of the row.) Press the down arrow and move to the Ceiling icon with the R. It should be the seventh icon from the upside down "Up" arrow; it's next to the Capture icon with a camera. (Normally, ceiling icon shows as an upside down R when your image is projected right-side up. There is also a rear-projector icon with a mirror image R when the image is right-side up.) Press Select and then use the arrow keys to choose the On/Off options. You may need to press Select again to save the setting.

I hope this helps.

This could be showing the signs of the lamp needing replacement. if not dust has accumulated (clean filters) onto the mirrors in the projector.

Hi There, Ive recently repaired my sanyo plc-sw30/35, Had many issues. Ive made the ful schematic available on my site http://www.entwan.netau.net/1_8_Repair-Schematics.html

This should help you.

depending on the size of the surface you are projecting on, and what the zoom capacity of your lens is, you probably only have one choice available to you, and that is to move your projector farther away from what you are trying to project onto.....

hope this helps!

never mind the usb, u need to only connect the video output ( yellow rcs connector ) to the vido input of the projector & it will work fine!!!

sounds like you might need to change the KEYSTONE settings

i had a sanyo plc sw30 wich had the same problem and it turned out to be the bulb replaced it with new one and this seemed to solve the problem. Theres a few places to get new ones but they are not cheap looking at between £150 to £180 hope this helps

The yellow you see is all dust on the mirrrors inside your projector.
If u are lucky you can get the mirrors cleaned by a pro, if you are unlycky as i was, the blue mirror has burn and u need to replace it.

Take your projector to someone who repaire tv:s ot other electronics, they will help you. If its only the cleaning its cheap, if you need to replace a mirror its expensive.

Good luck
