6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues, try the following solutions before contacting support.

• **No Power Indicator Light**: Check if the power supply plug is properly inserted.
• **Remote Control Not Working**: Check if the remote control batteries are depleted. Ensure the remote is pointed directly at the projector's IR receiver. Avoid strong light interfering with the receiver.
• **No Picture**: Verify that the correct signal source is selected in the projector's settings. Ensure the signal source cable (e.g., HDMI) is securely inserted.
• **Projector Automatically Turns Off**: Check if the input voltage is too low or fluctuating excessively.
• **Unable to Read USB Disk**: Ensure the USB disk is formatted to FAT32 or NTFS. Reformat if necessary.
• **Blurred Picture**: Ensure the projector is at least 1.5 meters (50 inches) away from the projection surface. If the image is still blurred, manually adjust the focus using the remote control's 'F+' and 'F-' keys, especially if outside the 1.5-3 meter autofocus range.

8. User Tips

• **Daytime Viewing**: While the projector offers excellent brightness, optimal viewing quality is achieved in darker conditions.
• **Gaming**: Some users find the input lag suitable for casual gaming, but it may not be ideal for serious competitive gaming due to potential latency.
• **Screen Mirroring Quality**: For the best quality when watching streaming services like Netflix or YouTube, avoid screen mirroring from your phone. Instead, use the projector's built-in apps or connect an external streaming device via HDMI.
• **External Screen**: If using a separate projection screen, note that reflective gray screens may dim slightly when viewed from an angle. For best brightness, position yourself directly in front of the screen.
• **HDMI Input Limitation**: The projector has one HDMI input. If you need to connect multiple HDMI devices (e.g., a streaming stick and a soundbar), an HDMI extractor may be necessary. A standard HDMI switch, hub, or duplicator might not work for all setups.
