Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your ONOAYO AYO1 Projector, please refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause / Solution |
|---|---|
| No image / Black screen when streaming | Due to HDCP copyright protection, many streaming services (e.g., Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu) do not support direct screen mirroring from mobile devices. Use an Amazon Fire Stick, Roku, or similar streaming device connected via HDMI to bypass this restriction. |
| No sound or low volume | Check the projector's volume settings. Ensure external speakers (if connected) are powered on and properly paired via Bluetooth or connected via audio cable. If using screen mirroring, ensure your phone's volume is up. Some streaming apps may have their own volume controls. |
| Cannot connect to WiFi / Screen Mirroring issues | Ensure both the projector and your mobile device are connected to the same WiFi network (2.4G or 5G). Some mobile devices may have compatibility issues with screen mirroring. Try restarting both the projector and your device. Ensure your WiFi signal is strong. |
| Image is blurry or distorted | Adjust the focus ring on the projector lens. Use the keystone correction feature to ensure the image is rectangular. Ensure the projection surface is flat and smooth. |
| Dark spots on the screen | While the projector has dust-proof technology, persistent spots may indicate internal dust. Contact customer support for assistance if cleaning the lens does not resolve the issue. |
If the problem persists after trying these solutions, please contact ONOAYO customer support.
