Left Right setting and then choose the value either Normal or Swapped that restores the correct sense of depth in the image HDMI Connection Issues e 3D requires a substantial data throughput therefore use a good quality High Speed HDMI cable with or without Ethernet e Avoid using excessively long HDMI cables as this contributes to poor connec tion issues o Cable lengths over 10 m are not recommended o Avoid using HDMI cables that have illuminated plugs or active systems that draw on the 5 V supply rail If the 5 V drops lower than 4 7 V you will not get any picture e Sparkles of random color on screen This usually means that the cable doesn t have the bandwidth capabilities to handle the signal o Try changing the cable or use a shorter cable o Try using a lower resolution for example if you are using 1080p try switch ing to 1080i If this solves the problem the cable is the likely culprit e When switching inputs on either the projector or the AV Receiver Processor sometimes the picture is either green or pink This usually means the incor rect color standard has been selected This is sent automatically every time you switch HDMI inputs but sometimes the information is not received by the display o Reselect input if problem persists disconnect the HDMI cable to either the display or output of the receiver and reconnect this instigate a hot plug detect and should resolve the issue o If the problem persists check wit
