Theatre projector is unable to switch inputs in menu

The fan may be out that keeps the bulb cool. The shutdown is to protect the lamp from overheating. Do you have any flashing indicator lights on the projector after turning it on?

Had problems with image processor on this model

try another wall outlet if that dosent work try a nother cord, than if it still wont respond it could be a blowed fuse or a bad power bord.

set the project input set to auto

When one thinks of quality home theater projectors, few brands cometo mind. Sony, JVC and Panasonic are some that do. Sanyo, on the otherhand, may not be on one's short list. However, they've been makinghigh-quality, affordable home theater projectors for years. Theirlatest offering, the PLV-Z3000 reviewed here, is no exception.Retailing for $2,999 - though depending on where you shop, that figuremay be much lower - the PLV-Z3000 is among the most affordablefull-featured 1080p projectors in the marketplace today. The PLV-Z3000 is a full-resolution HD projector (1920x1080p) with areported

This could be due to one of the three filters that are easy to change - download the free pdf service manual - not the user manual - it is very descriptive and the filter is about $120 from Sanyo.

If I understand your description correctly, when comparing it with my Z2, this is a function of the input type. If you have the input set to DVI and ANY digital source connected, the projector selects the mode that it is receiving and does not allow you to modify it. The options on this menu are only available when using an analog input. Try switching to any of the analog inputs and see if the option doesn't re-appear. It seemed strange to me too at first, but it makes sense because the digital input does not require "fine tuning" to convert it from analog to digital because it is already digital and therefore the signal itself skips this conversion step and the menu that goes with it.

look in the projector menu ( should not be backwards) and switch the view to front projection. It might be set in rear projection. That is what my viewsonic PJ-558 projector can do sometimes
