IMPORTANT NOTE: THE GOTHEATER MIRRORING FUNCTION WILL NOT WORK WITH DRM ENABLED PROGRAMS SUCH AS NETFLIX, AMAZON PRIME VIDEO AND OTHER SECURED VIDEO CONTENT DISTRIBUTORS. SOME OF THE SETTINGS AND THE VISUALS ON THE PROJECTOR AND PHONES MAY LOOK DIFFERENT THAN THIS GUIDE DO TO SYSTEM CHANGES AND UPDATES.

LET’S GET STARTED

Plug the AC power cable into an available outlet. The POWER indicator light on the projector will turn blue after power has been applied.

Press and hold the POWER button for three seconds on the GOTheater (or on the remote control) to start it up, the projector lamp will light up. The POWER indicator light will flash then will stay a steady blue when the projector is on. The internal fan will also start up, and a boot/static image will display the screen while the GOTheater warms up. It will not respond to any commands while it is warming up.
To adjust the image/focus, turn the knob just above the lens while observing the on-screen image pixels near the center of the screen. Optimal focus occurs when the on-screen pixels are clearly visible. Depending on how large your (projected) screen is, the focus near the edges of the screen may be less sharp than those at the center of the screen.

A Keystone image (the Keystone Image Adjustment knob is located just behind the Focus knob) is created when the GOTheater’s beam is projected on the screen at an angle. Keystone correction will restore the distorted image to a rectangular or square center.
