A technician connects an LCD projector to a computer located in a conference room and receives the following error message: Signal out of range. Two minutes later, the projector shuts itself off. When the technician attempts to power the projector back on, it takes more than 90 seconds for the bulb to turn on, and the error message displays again. Which of the following will MOST likely resolve the issue?

Question

Accepted Answer

C. Adjusting the computer's output to a lower resolution The 'Signal out of range' error indicates that the resolution or refresh rate output by the computer is not supported by the projector. Adjusting the computer's display settings to a lower, compatible resolution will bring the signal within the projector's acceptable range, resolving the error.

Answer

A. Removing excess dust from the projector's air filters Removing dust from air filters primarily addresses overheating issues that can cause shutdowns, but it does not explain the 'Signal out of range' error message.

Answer

B. Decreasing the projector's color temperature settings Decreasing the projector's color temperature settings affects image color accuracy, not the ability to receive a valid video signal from the computer.

Answer

D. Moving the projector closer to the computer and using a shorter video cable Moving the projector closer or using a shorter cable addresses potential signal degradation due to cable length, but 'Signal out of range' specifically refers to an unsupported video mode, not general signal quality issues.
