9. Troubleshooting & Warm Tips

• Fan Noise: Higher brightness settings may increase fan speed, resulting in slightly more fan noise. This is normal operation.
• Streaming App Mirroring: Direct wireless mirroring of streaming services (e.g., Netflix, Prime Video, Hulu) from mobile devices is not supported due to copyright restrictions. Please log in directly on the projector's built-in apps.
• Additional Apps: Additional streaming apps beyond the pre-installed ones cannot be downloaded directly to the projector. To watch content from other apps, connect a TV stick (purchased separately) via an HD port.
• Autofocus Performance: For best results, place the projector on a flat, level surface with the lens perpendicular to the wall. Autofocus may not function correctly if the tilt exceeds ±15°.
