5.2 Power Connection
- Connect the provided power cord to the projector's power input.
- Plug the other end of the power cord into a suitable electrical outlet.
- Press the power button on the projector or remote control to turn it on.
5.3 Focus and Keystone Adjustment
After powering on, adjust the image for clarity and shape:
- Focus: Use the manual focus ring near the lens to sharpen the image.
- 4D Digital Keystone: If the projected image appears trapezoidal, use the 4D Digital Keystone correction feature via the remote control or on-screen menu to adjust the image corners digitally. This allows for projection from various angles, including off-center positions. Note that significant digital keystone correction may slightly reduce image sharpness at the edges.
- Digital Zoom: Adjust the image size without moving the projector using the digital zoom function.
