Hey i just recently got this projector that I have seen working, then I then I brought it home and hooked up the projector and I cannot output a video signal. However the strange thing is (im using an n64 to test it) the audio is being output fine to the internal speakers, and is muted when the yellow plug is unplugged..

also i've tried hooking up a VCR to the video in aux BNC connector and that as well will not output video, but this time no audio either......


HELP ME IM AT A LOSS!!!!, also the focus is absolutly terrible!!!!!!

Hi, you're going to need to do a full set up. Here's the manual:

Is there a button on the projector that says 'MUTE' if so push it and see what happens.

you need to connect to the BNC input, not the RCA connector. Everyone makes that mistake. Get a Radiio Shack RCA to BNC adapter.

Does anyone have any experience with hooking this projector up to a computer?

I know it can only produce a 640x480 signal but when i send it this resolution it just has "fuzz" and scanlines... its asthough the refresh rate is way too high or something...

does anyone have any recommendations or suggestions....does anyone know if its possible to hook a computer up to this projector... has anyone tried???

It will not work. IT only accepts 320 x 240, which is what NTSC video is.

Ampro made the Ampro 1200, based on a Zenith chassis, but almost every board was changed, but the tubes were the same. It did 640 X 480 exclusively, and they didn't sell a lot of them.
