8. Troubleshooting
| Issue | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No image projected | Power not connected, input source incorrect, lens cap on. | Check power connection, select correct input source (HDMI, internal apps), remove lens cap. |
| Image blurry | Auto-focus issue, projector moved. | Ensure projector is stable. If auto-focus does not correct, check for manual focus options in settings (if available). |
| Remote control unresponsive | Low batteries, line of sight blocked. | Replace remote control batteries. Ensure clear line of sight between remote and projector's IR receiver. |
| Poor Wi-Fi connection or streaming issues | Weak Wi-Fi signal, network congestion. | Move projector closer to the Wi-Fi router. Reduce other network activity. Consider using a wired HDMI connection for external devices if possible. |
| Low or 'tinny' sound | Internal speaker limitations. | Connect external Bluetooth speakers or wired speakers via the 3.5mm audio port for improved audio quality. |
| Streaming apps not working or showing 'not compatible' | App updates required, system firmware outdated. | Check for app updates within the Android system. Go to 'Settings' to check for and install system firmware updates. |
| Screen mirroring lag or disconnection | Network interference, device compatibility. | Ensure both devices are on the same, stable Wi-Fi network. Try restarting both devices. For critical applications, a wired HDMI connection is recommended. |
