I am pleasantly surprised by the value for money. There is only one problem that cannot be solved. Why doesn’t the projector display the images in the order in which they are stored on the USB stick? Also renaming the images to 1,2,3,…etc. useless. Is a random number generator installed?
Ich bin vom Preis/Leistungsverhältnis angenehm überrascht. Nur ein Problem ist nicht zu lösen. Warum gibt der Projector die Bilder nicht in der Reihenfolge wider, wie sie auf dem USB-Stick abgespeichert sind? Auch die Umbenennung der Bilder in 1,2,3,…usw. nützt nichts. Ist ein Zufallsgenerater installiert?

Why does the ABOX GC357 projector not display images from a USB drive in the correct order, even after renaming files numerically?
The ABOX GC357 projector's built-in media player often sorts files based on the FAT32/NTFS file system index (the order in which files were physically written to the drive) rather than alphabetical or numerical filenames. This can make it appear as though a random number generator is active.
To resolve this and ensure your images play in the correct order, you can try the following steps:
Please note that the manual indicates you must manually select files for playback, but for automated slideshows, the internal firmware's sorting logic is fixed and cannot be changed via settings.

Ổ cắm 220v điện thông dụng có sao ko ạ?
Is it okay to use a standard 220V power outlet with this projector?
Most modern ABOX projectors, including the GC357, are designed with universal power supplies that support 100V to 240V. Therefore, using a standard 220V outlet is generally safe and compatible.
However, because the provided manual text does not explicitly list the specific voltage range, you should check the sticker on the bottom of the projector or the power adapter itself before plugging it in. Look for the "Input" section; if it says 100-240V, it is perfectly safe for a 220V outlet. Always ensure you use the power cord provided in the box to avoid damage or electric shock.
