Frequently Asked Questions - MW561 BENQ
How do I replace the lamp on my BenQ MW561?
Turn off and unplug the projector. Wait 30 minutes for cooling. Remove the lamp cover screw, slide off the cover. Unscrew the lamp module, pull it out by the handle. Insert new lamp, tighten screws, replace cover. Reset the lamp hour counter in the OSD menu (Settings -> Lamp Settings).
What is the recommended projection distance for a 100-inch screen?
For a 100-inch diagonal screen (16:10 aspect ratio), the throw distance is approximately 3.0 to 3.3 meters. Use the formula: distance = width x throw ratio. The projector's throw ratio is 1.55-1.70, and a 100-inch 16:10 screen width is about 2.15 meters.
How to clean the air filter on the MW561?
Turn off the projector and unplug it. Remove the filter cover on the side. Take out the filter and gently clean it with a soft brush or vacuum cleaner. Do not wash with water. If heavily soiled, replace the filter. Reinstall and close the cover.
Can I connect my laptop wirelessly to the BenQ MW561?
The MW561 does not have built-in wireless. For wireless projection, you need an external wireless adapter (e.g., BenQ QCast or a third-party HDMI dongle) that plugs into the HDMI port. Then, use screen mirroring on your laptop.
What is the keystone correction range?
The keystone correction is vertical only, with a range of ±40 degrees. It is adjusted via the OSD menu or by pressing the keystone buttons on the remote. Note that digital keystone may slightly reduce image quality.
How do I reset the lamp hour counter?
After replacing the lamp, go to the OSD menu: Settings -> Lamp Settings -> Lamp Reset. Press OK. A confirmation dialog appears; select 'Yes' to reset. This ensures accurate lamp hours tracking.
The projector turns off suddenly. What could be the cause?
Common causes: overheating (check air filter and ventilation), lamp failure (replace lamp), power supply issues, or a faulty temperature sensor. The projector has protective shutdown. Check the status LED: solid red indicates lamp error, blinking red indicates thermal error. Refer to manual for troubleshooting.
Does the BenQ MW561 support 3D content?
Yes, it supports DLP Link 3D. You need active shutter glasses (optional). In the OSD, enable 3D mode from Display -> 3D. Ensure the source outputs 3D signal (e.g., side-by-side or frame sequential). Note that VGA input does not support 3D; use HDMI.
How to adjust the focus and zoom?
The focus and zoom are manual. Rotate the focus ring on the lens to sharpen the image. Rotate the zoom ring to adjust the image size. For best results, set projector at a fixed distance, then adjust focus, then zoom if needed.
What is the warranty period for the BenQ MW561?
BenQ typically offers a 3-year projector warranty for parts and labor (in many regions). The lamp has a separate 90-day or 1000-hour warranty, whichever comes first. Register the product online for extended support. Check your local dealer for exact terms.
