Troubleshooting

Problem	Possible Cause / Solution
Remote control not working.	Ensure batteries are correctly inserted and not depleted. If the remote is faulty, contact customer support for a replacement. You can connect a USB mouse to the projector for temporary control.
Cannot play Netflix/Amazon Prime/Disney+ from smartphone screen mirroring.	This is due to HDCP copyright protection. Connect a TV stick (e.g., Amazon Fire TV Stick) to the projector's HDMI port to access these streaming services.
No sound or poor sound quality.	Check volume settings on both the projector and connected device. Ensure Bluetooth audio device is properly paired. The projector does not support Dolby audio. Ensure your audio source is not Dolby encoded if experiencing issues. Consider connecting external speakers via Bluetooth or the 3.5mm audio jack for enhanced sound.
Image is not clear or out of focus.	Use the electric focus ('F+' / 'F-') buttons on the remote control to adjust sharpness. Adjust keystone correction if the image is distorted.
Projector fan noise is noticeable.	The projector has a cooling fan, which produces some operational noise. Ensure adequate ventilation around the projector to prevent overheating, which can increase fan speed. Using external audio devices (e.g., Bluetooth headphones) can help mask fan noise.
