42
Symptoms
Causes and Solutions
I see dots on the
screen.
• There is a colored dot (bright dots, dark dots, stationary
dots, and/or flickering dots) on the screen.
— This projector was produced with high precision
technology. However, a tiny dark or bright dot may
appear on the screen. This is a common occurrence
due to the production process, and it does not
indicate a functional failure.
※ Bright spot: brightly lit dots, Dark spot: invisible or blurred
point of text or objects, Blinking: flashing dots, Bright dot:
glowing dots that are brighter than regular images
I hear a noise.
•
Electrical noise: this is a small sound generated from
the operation of the high-speed switching circuit that
supplies current to the projector, and the noise may
vary depending on the product. This noise is normal and
does not affect the projector’s functions. LG Electronics
manages the manufacturing of projectors according to
strict standards. A fixed level of noise does not indicate
a problem. Please understand that this does not allow
you to get an exchange or refund.
•
Fan sound: to maintain the temperature inside the
projector at an appropriate level, the fan sound may
increase or decrease depending on the ambient
temperature.

• If the router supports DHCP, the projector is automatically connected to the
network when you connect the projector to the network with a LAN cable.

8
Cautions for Network Setup
• Use standard LAN cable (connect to Cat7 or higher with RJ45 connector, 10
Base-T, or 100 Base TX LAN port).
• Resetting the router may fix some network connection problems. Turn the
power OFF, disconnect and reconnect it, and then turn the power on to solve the
problem.
• LG Electronics is not responsible for network connectivity or operation failure
due to problems such as equipment failure or disconnected lines.
• The network connection may not work properly because of network settings or
the Internet service provider.
• DSL service must use a DSL modem; and cable service must use a cable modem.
Since only a limited number of network connections may be available, projector
network setting may not be used depending on the contract with Internet
service provider. (If the contract does not allow more than one device per line,
only the already-connected PC may be used.)
• A wireless network can experience interference from other devices that use
the 2.4 GHz frequency (wireless phone, Bluetooth device, or microwave oven).
Although interference can also happen when using the 5 GHz frequency, it is less
likely to occur.
• The wireless environment can make wireless network service run slowly.
• Using several wireless devices at the same time can slow your network.
• The access point device must support wireless connections and wireless
connection feature must be enabled on the device to have AP (access point)
connection. Contact the service provider for availability of wireless connections
on the access point.
• Check SSID and security settings of the AP. Refer to the appropriate
documentation for SSID and security settings of the AP.
• Invalid settings of network devices (wired/wireless line sharer, hub) can cause the
projector to operate slowly or not operate properly. Install the devices correctly
according to the appropriate manual and network.
• The connection method may differ depending on the AP manufacturer.

Cautions for Speech Recognition
• Voice recognition requires a Magic Lighting Remote, which may not be supported
by certain models.
• To use all speech recognition features, you need to set your regions, etc.
Otherwise, you cannot use some features.
• You must have a network connection to use the speech recognition feature.
• If you have a network connection, you need to accept the terms and conditions
to use speech recognition.
• To control the set-top box connected to the projector with the voice recognition,
you need to set the universal remote control in
(Q. Settings) →
→
[General] → [Devices] → [External Devices] → [Universal Control Settings].
• It is recommended to point the Magic Lighting Remote toward the set top box
after the voice input.
• The rate of speech recognition may vary depending on the characteristics
of the user (voice volume, pronunciation, accent, and talking speed) and the
surroundings (noise and projector volume).
• To achieve accurate recognition of your speech, you must pronounce words in a
slow and accurate manner at an appropriate voice volume at a distance of about
10 cm (3.9 inches) away from the Magic Lighting Remote’s microphone.
• If you speech is not recognized properly, speech recognition may operate
differently than you originally intended.
