- Internal Dust: While the projector has a dust-proof design, in rare cases, dust may still accumulate internally over time. If you notice dust spots on the projected image, please contact customer support for guidance on cleaning or servicing.
8. Troubleshooting
Here are solutions to common issues you might encounter:
- Q: Image appears blurry or out of focus.
- A: The Vivicine A6 has auto-focus. Ensure the projector is on a stable surface and allow it a few seconds to adjust. If the issue persists, check for any obstructions in front of the lens.
- Q: Dust spots are visible on the projected image.
- A: Although the projector is dust-proof, internal dust can occasionally occur. Refer to the 'Maintenance' section for cleaning advice. If the problem persists, contact customer support.
- Q: The projector is making a loud noise.
- A: All LED projectors generate some heat, and higher brightness often correlates with increased fan noise. This is normal operation. Ensure adequate ventilation around the device.
- Q: Corners or edges of the image are fuzzy.
- A: This is a common phenomenon in almost all single LCD panel display LED projectors due to the display technology. It is not considered a quality defect. For critical applications like office presentations, this type of projector may not be ideal, but it is excellent for watching movies.
- Q: Cannot connect PC via HDMI.
- A: Ensure the HDMI cable is securely connected to both the projector and your PC. Verify that the correct HDMI input source is selected on the projector. Try a different HDMI cable or port if available.
- Q: No audio or unsupported audio format.
- A: The Vivicine A6 does not support AC3 audio decoding. If you are playing content with AC3 audio, you may experience no sound. Convert the audio track to a supported format (e.g., LPCM, MP3, APE) or use an external device that can decode AC3.
- Q: Movies from a hard drive are lagging during playback.
- A: This could be due to the hard drive's speed or the video file's bitrate. Try using a faster USB storage device or optimizing the video files to a lower bitrate if possible.
