Quick Problem-Solving Tips

When you experience an issue with your Cinema, turn it off and on again. If this does not resolve the problem, then refer to the tips below.
When I turn on my Laser Cinema, there is a delay for a few seconds before the picture appears. Is this normal?
Yes, this is normal. The Laser Cinema is initializing and searching for previous setting information.
No sound or picture

1. Check if the power cord is plugged into a powered AC outlet.
2. Press the Power button on the remote control to activate the unit from ‘Standby’ mode.
3. Check to see if the LED light is on or not. If it is, then the Laser Cinema is receiving power.

I have connected an external source to my Laser Cinema and I get no picture and/or sound.

1. Check for the correct output connection on the external source and for the correct input connection on the Laser Cinema.
2. Make sure you have made the correct selection for the input mode for the incoming signal.

The picture is normal but there is no sound

1. Check the volume settings.
2. Check if ‘Mute’ mode is set to On.

Sound but no picture or black and white picture

1. If the picture is black and white, unplug the Laser Cinema from the AC outlet and replug it after 60 seconds.
2. Check that the Color is set to 50 or higher.

The sound and/or picture is distorted or appears wavy

1. An electric appliance may be affecting the Laser Cinema. Turn off any appliances that are nearby and move it farther away from the Laser Cinema.
2. Insert the power plug of the Laser Cinema into another power outlet.

The plastic cabinet makes a “clicking” type of sound The ‘click’ sound can occur when the temperature of the Laser Cinema changes. This change causes the Laser Cinema cabinet to expand or contract, which makes the sound. This is normal and the Laser Cinema is OK.
The remote control does not work

1. Confirm that Laser Cinema still has power and is operational.
2. Change the batteries in the remote control.
3. Check if the batteries are correctly installed.
