Epson EMP-821 User Manual

■

If you’re projecting from a computer and displaying an image that 
contains a lot of fine detail, you may notice one or more vertical 
stripes or bands, or some of the characters may look heavy or 
blurred. Press the 

Auto

 button on the remote control. This resets 

the projector’s tracking and sync settings.

■

If further adjustment is needed, you can fine-tune the 

Tracking

 

and 

Sync

 settings manually using the Signal menu as described 

on page 56. 

1. Fill the screen with an image containing fine detail when 

making these adjustments. For example, in Windows you can 
select a pattern to appear as your desktop background. Or try 
projecting black text on a white background.

2. Adjust the 

Tracking

 to eliminate vertical stripes. 

3. Adjust the 

Sync

 to increase the sharpness of the image or 

eliminate flickering or signal interference.

■

Make sure the input signal setting on the Signal menu matches 
the signal from the connected device. If the image is too purple 
and you’ve connected a computer or RGB video device to the 

Computer1/Component Video1

 or 

Computer2/Component 

Video2

 port, select 

Computer1

 or 

Computer2

 as the input 

source. If you’ve connected a component video device to one of 
these ports, select 

Component

 

Video1

 or 

Component Video2

. 

If you’re projecting from a composite video or S-video source, 
make sure the correct 

Video Signal

 is selected on the Signal 

message. See page 55 for details.

Try selecting a different Color Mode. See page 54 for
