Getting Started

1. Placing the Projector

Choose an appropriate position and direction for optimal projection quality.

Projector Positioning:

• Default: Place the projector upright on a table or floor. This is the most common and convenient method.
• Ceiling: Mount the projector upside down on the ceiling using a ceiling mount (sold separately). When mounted this way, it is not recommended to attach the speakers to the projector.

Projection Direction:

• Front: The projector and audience are on the same side, projecting directly onto the screen.
• Rear: The projector is placed behind a translucent screen, projecting from the rear, with the audience facing the projector.

Setup Steps:

• After powering on the projector, press the [Settings] button, navigate to Advanced Settings > Projector Mode, and select the desired setting.
• The device features auto-focus and auto-keystone correction, so manual tilting towards the screen is not required.
• The projector can also be mounted on a tripod (sold separately).
• The distance between the projector lens and the screen determines the screen size.

Ceiling Mode Setup:

Place the projector in its default position and project onto the ceiling. Navigate to Settings > Projector > Keystone Correction and enable ceiling projection correction.

Recommended Distance Between Device and Projection Surface:
