5. Setup

5.1 Power Connection

1. Connect the power adapter to the "DC IN" port on the projector.
2. Plug the other end of the power adapter into a wall outlet.
3. The power indicator light on the projector will illuminate.

For optimal viewing, place the projector on a stable, flat surface. The ideal projection distance for a clear image is between 1.2 to 3.8 meters (approximately 4 to 12.5 feet), yielding a screen size of 20 to 60 inches. A darker room environment is highly recommended for the best picture quality due to the projector's lumen output.

• USB: Insert a USB flash drive or external hard drive (up to 2TB, ensure sufficient power) into the USB port for direct media playback.
• SD Card: Insert an SD card into the SD card slot for direct media playback.

Note: For connecting a CPU, use the VGA port. For better sound, connect external speakers or a home theater system via the 3.5mm audio out port.
