Author Topic: Blue Square on screen Laura Hicks Film Handler Posts: 7 From: Tallahassee, FL, USA Registered: Mar 2016 posted 12-01-2017 11:37 AM                     My NEC PA653U projector is showing a blue square in the upper left corner - how do I get rid of it/what's the problem? It's not a connection issue because the projector is showing my laptop (for the most part). The blue square is there when I scroll through other (unused) inputs. This projector has a built-in test screen, and when I go to that, there is no blue square. Any idea what's up/how to fix this?  |  IP: Logged Randy Stankey Film God Posts: 6539 From: Erie, Pennsylvania Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-01-2017 11:50 AM                     Does the projector have any kind of PIP (Picture-In-Picture) mode? It looks, to me, like you have PIP turned on without a valid signal on the input selected for PIP.  |  IP: Logged Steve Moore Expert Film Handler Posts: 211 From: Leeds, West Yorks, UK Registered: Apr 2008 posted 12-01-2017 12:49 PM                     There is a button labelled PIP on about the third row from the top of your remote; as Randy says, it is most likely that function turned on.  |  IP: Logged Laura Hicks Film Handler Posts: 7 From: Tallahassee, FL, USA Registered: Mar 2016 posted 12-15-2017 10:48 AM                     it was absolutely the PIP, which I knew it had that capability... it was just too early in the morning w/o coffee! thanks!  |  IP: Logged
