Frequently Asked Questions - MP8780 3M

What should I do if the projector does not turn on?
Check that the main power switch is on and the power cord is properly connected. Wait at least 90 seconds after turning off before attempting to restart. If the LAMP indicator lights red, replace the lamp.
How do I clean the air filter?
Turn off the projector and disconnect power. Remove the air filter from the bottom, clean the foam and metal screens with a vacuum cleaner, then reinstall. Clean every 50 hours of use.
How can I reset the lamp timer after replacing the lamp?
Access the OPTION menu, select LAMP TIMER, then choose RESET DEFAULT or use the serial command D60W00. This resets the operating hours to zero.
Why is there no image but sound is heard?
Ensure the lens cap is removed and the correct input source is selected. Verify cable connections. If using an RGB source, check that the signal resolution is supported (see technical specifications).
How do I connect a computer to the projector?
Use the appropriate cable (VGA, BNC, or MAC adapter). Connect to one of the RGB inputs. For mouse control, use the USB, serial, or PS/2 mouse cable. Turn on the projector before the computer.
What does the TEMP indicator mean?
The TEMP indicator lights red when the projector overheats. Check that ventilation holes are not blocked and the air filter is clean. If it flashes, the temperature is above normal; if solid, the projector has shut down to protect itself.
How do I adjust the image size and focus?
Use the ZOOM +/- and FOCUS +/- buttons on the remote control or projector control panel. You can also adjust the image position using the height adjustment feet and the image shift control knob.
Can I use the projector for rear projection?
Yes. In the IMAGE menu, set MIRROR to H INVERT for rear projection. Also ensure the remote sensor setting is appropriate (FRONT, REAR, or BOTH) in the OPTION menu.
What are the optional accessories available?
Optional accessories include a ceiling mount kit, adjustable height suspension, shipping case, RS-232 control cable, and USB mouse cable. Contact 3M at 1-800-328-1371 to order.
How do I use the picture-in-picture (PIP) function?
Press the PIP button on the remote. In the IMAGE menu, select PIP mode: ON1 (freezes computer image, PIP shows ongoing video) or ON2 (continues screen refresh for PIP). Use the remote to select the sub-source.
