Offering exceptional color performance, the RCA RPJ106 Home Theater Projector with Bluetooth delivers immersive experiences. It provides stunning, razor sharp images and true-to-life colors.
You can use an RCA cable, a composite cable which will require separate plug-ins for the sound and the video. Or, you can use an adaptor to connect your smartphone to a VGA port (the same kind that you use to connect a monitor to your PC).
BUILT-IN ACCESSORIES: Our project is ideal for travel, with its huge lithium battery, built-in handles, and two built-in 8-watt speakers. With our projector, you won’t need to carry another speaker with you to hear what is playing.
These are the most common reasons you may not have sound on your projector: The volume is turned down. Check the volume control on the projector to ensure the volume is turned up. If you are connected to a source device, via HDMI or USB-C, check the volume control on that device as well to ensure it is turned up.
The better projectors also had far better contrast ratios, and therefore better image quality, than most TVs of thVe time. Short-throw projectors can help fit a projector into just about any room but they can still look washed out in brighter lighting. Life moves pretty fast. Technology even more so.
Connect a Coaxial Digital Cable, Optical Digital Cable, or Audio cable to the Audio Output jack on your TV. Connect the other end of the cable to the corresponding jacks on the A/V receiver or home theater system. Depending on your device, the audio input may be labeled TV INPUT or VIDEO INPUT.
A standard projector uses anywhere from 150-800 watts per hour, with the average coming in at around 300. In comparison, TVs average between 80-400 watts per hour.
Screens like TVs produce eye-damaging direct blue light. A projector’s Indirect light – even its indirect blue light – is much gentler on the eyes. Along with other safety features which you can learn about below – projectors are the best option based strictly on eye health.
Blue light is a light wavelength not only found in natural sunlight. It’s also found in anything emitting light such as fire, TVs, computer screens, light bulbs, LEDs, and projectors.
So, you can draw your room out, place the projector in the room, and draw the lines to the screen. If you are sitting under the projector, you will NEVER have an issue if you just sit down. If you are a few feet in front of the projector, then when seated you still shouldn’t have an issue.

Hi, I recently bought the RCA RPJ136-B projector on Amazon where it suggested buying a Roku (thingie). I bought both and I’ve been trying to connect the Roku to the projector but it only says “No Signal”. I’m confused as to how to connect it to Wi-Fi. I’ve clicked the Menu button but it doesn’t allow me to click on everything, only the Visual and Audio settings. It’d be amazing if someone could give me a step-by-step tutorial as to how to get the Roku connected to the Wi-Fi. I have the HDMI cable and I’ve put the source to HDMI 1 but still “No Signal”. Please and thank you for your help and time.
How do I connect a Roku device to my RCA RPJ136 projector and troubleshoot a 'No Signal' error?
To resolve the "No Signal" error and set up your Roku with the RCA RPJ136 projector, please follow these steps:
1. Troubleshooting the 'No Signal' Error
2. Connecting to Wi-Fi
It is important to note that the RCA RPJ136 projector itself does not have built-in Wi-Fi for streaming; the Wi-Fi connection must be configured on the Roku device using the Roku remote.
3. Projector Menu Limitations
The projector's internal Menu (M) button only controls the hardware settings (Visual/Audio). It will not show Wi-Fi settings because the projector does not have an operating system. All streaming and internet settings are managed entirely through the Roku interface once the HDMI signal is successfully detected.
