Troubleshooting

• Image not clear/blurry: Ensure the projector is placed on a stable surface. The auto-focus feature should correct this automatically. If not, check for any obstructions in front of the lens.
• Image is skewed/not rectangular: The auto H/V keystone correction should adjust the image. If manual adjustment is needed, navigate to the 'Basic Settings' menu and use the 4-Corner Adjustment feature.
• No signal from input source: Verify that the input cable (HDMI, USB-C) is securely connected to both the projector and the source device. Select the correct input source from the projector's menu.
• App compatibility issues: Some apps from the Aptoide TV App Center may be region-specific or require a keyboard/mouse for full functionality. Ensure the app is officially supported or try an alternative.
• Firmware updates: Regularly check for and install firmware updates via the 'Firmware Upgrade' option in the settings menu to ensure optimal performance and access to the latest features.
