7. Audio Settings

The projector features built-in dual 5W stereo speakers with an SRS sound system. For external audio, connect Bluetooth speakers/headphones or use the AV port.

Important Note: The projector does not support Dolby Audio. If you encounter no sound when playing videos, navigate to your source device's audio settings (e.g., Settings > Display & Sound > Audio > Dolby Digital Output) and turn off Dolby Digital+. Some AC3/DTS encoded files may also not be playable due to copyright issues.

Maintenance

1. Cleaning

Regularly clean the projector lens with a soft, lint-free cloth. Use compressed air to gently remove dust from ventilation openings. Do not use liquid cleaners directly on the lens or housing.

2. Storage

When not in use, store the projector in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Use the original packaging or a protective case to prevent dust accumulation and damage.

Troubleshooting

• Q: How to watch Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, etc.?
  A: Due to copyright agreements, these platforms may not support direct playback from mobile phones via screen mirroring. Connect a Fire TV Stick, Google Chromecast, or a laptop via HDMI to play videos from these services.
• Q: Why can't my phone project via Bluetooth connection?
  A: The projector's Bluetooth function is designed to connect to Bluetooth audio devices (speakers, headphones) only, not to mobile phones or computers for screen mirroring.
