7. Troubleshooting
- No Power: Ensure the power cord is securely connected to both the projector and a working power outlet.
- No Image: Check the input source selection. Verify that the connected device is powered on and sending a signal.
- Blurry Image: Adjust the electric focus using the remote control until the image is sharp. Ensure the projection surface is flat and the projector is stable.
- Distorted Image (Trapezoid): The projector has auto keystone correction. If distortion persists, check the projector's position relative to the screen or perform manual keystone adjustments in the settings.
- No Sound: Check the volume settings on both the projector and the connected source device. If using external speakers, ensure they are properly connected and powered. If using Bluetooth, ensure it's paired correctly.
- WiFi/Bluetooth Connection Issues: Ensure the projector is within range of your router/Bluetooth device. Restart the projector and your network equipment.
- 4K Video Playback: While the projector supports 4K video decoding, the output resolution is 1280x720P. This is normal operation and not a fault.
8. User Tips
- Optimal Brightness: For the best viewing experience, especially with 260 ANSI lumens, ensure the room is sufficiently dark. While it performs well, ambient light can reduce perceived brightness.
- Projection Distance: To achieve a good balance of brightness and screen size, consider placing the projector around 1 to 2 meters from the wall for a clear and vibrant image.
- App Installation: Utilize the Android 9.0 system to install your favorite streaming apps directly on the projector for a standalone entertainment system.
- External Audio: For a truly immersive audio experience, connect a high-quality soundbar or external speaker system via the 3.5mm audio out or Bluetooth.
