7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No image / Blurry image | Incorrect focus, keystone, or input source. | Adjust the focus ring and keystone correction. Ensure the correct input source is selected. Check cable connections. |
| No sound or low volume | Volume too low, incorrect audio output, or external speaker issue. | Increase projector volume. Check if external speakers are connected and powered on. Ensure Bluetooth audio is correctly paired. |
| Wireless screen mirroring not working | Incorrect WiFi setup, device compatibility, or network issues. | Ensure both devices are on the same network. Restart the projector and mobile device. Some streaming services may block mirroring due to copyright. Consider using an HDMI connection for consistent performance. |
| Image too dim | Ambient light, projection distance. | For optimal brightness, use the projector in a dark room. Adjust projection distance as needed. |
| Fan noise is loud | Normal operation, blocked vents. | Some fan noise is normal for cooling. Ensure vents are not blocked and the projector has adequate space for airflow. |
| Audio delay with Bluetooth speaker | Bluetooth latency. | Try connecting the Bluetooth speaker directly to the source device if possible. Some Bluetooth speakers may have inherent latency. |
